if he wanted to really get his point across he should be selling the stem player for 0 profit and compensating his engineers out his own pocket

Maybe he is
Ok
But how the f*** is this supposed to help the music industry
Man is right now selling a $200 album….. there is no intention of other artists to join him. He is just getting away with this s*** cause he is Kanye lmfao
Man daf about "progress" he gaf about making money
Don't forget only reason he was supporting trump was because trump had promised tax cuts for the rich
A milli in sales in less than 24 hours with no album out yet, which is close to the payout for a billion streams on Spotify
And people ITT were saying he was losing money by doing this
Now if he had Advisors who could plug him with a Chinese factory to get the price to $49.99, he could easily do $10 million.
Also I think some people are wrongly judging the price point of the Stem Player.
For instance, Ye would never charge $200 for a vinyl. He never has and he never will, because that just doesn’t make sense.
But the Stem Player is an actual piece of tech, and it’s one of the first of its kind (at least readily available for mainstream consumers), so the $200 price point really isn’t that crazy.
He’s not just overcharging for the sake of it is the point I’m tryna make
First ever 8gb piece of tech yes
Big artists should be able to directly release music. It's small artists that get f***ed by streaming services anyway
Ok

WTT was give or take 140 on retail
200 isn't too far off esp it being a 4LP release with donda 1
“Billionaire selling a $200 album to his fans” - forgot who said this but it’s still crazy
200 seems high
I agree but development costs, staff costs etc can be expensive
But hes still being paid fairly and making an example while also giving access to everyone, come on he could charge whatever for a physical and people will buy
But that wouldn’t be “making an example”, that would just be grossly overcharging for a vinyl. No one’s paying $200 for a vinyl record.
A cool, new, forward thinking piece of tech that actually lets you interact with and customize the music? That’s way more worth $200 than a standard vinyl is.

i goes ssomeone gotta start
but it just seems like its essentially his own streaming platform attached to a 8gb mp3 player
Tell the Vision has more streams than Junya pt 2 and Jesus Lord pt 2
