Yes, streaming has devalued platinum hits. In the past, a platinum record was awarded to an album that had sold or shipped one million copies in the United States. However, with the rise of streaming, it is now possible to stream an album hundreds or even thousands of times without ever owning it. This has led to a decrease in album sales and an increase in the number of platinum records being awarded.

As a result, the value of a platinum record has decreased. In the past, a platinum record was a sign of great success. Today, it is simply a sign that an album has been streamed a lot. This has led to some people questioning the value of platinum records altogether.

• Streaming has led to a decrease in album sales. In 2019, album sales in the United States were down 12% from the previous year. This is a trend that has been going on for several years, and it is largely due to the rise of streaming.
• Streaming has led to an increase in the number of platinum records being awarded. In 2019, there were 127 platinum albums certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). This is the highest number of platinum albums certified in a single year since 2006.

It is important to note that streaming is a new way of consuming music. It is still too early to say what the long-term impact of streaming will be on the music industry. It is possible that streaming will eventually lead to a new definition of what it means for an album to be a platinum success.

Streaming changed the game

It’s devalued classifications

It’s devalued music as a whole

I still think artists are happy having platinum hits though, and yeah it depends if the artist is established or not

like for Kendrick, the MM sales were disappointing because he's been at a higher level before. But if he really wanted it, he would have had a more traditional rollout
