Ya u sped as f*** its ok g 💔

@Deezed @slutdog this is what real motion looks like

take some notes

not a bunch of streaming numbers

U always are able to have a convo without the bullshit i respect that

I’m saying if streaming a movie = streaming music then spinning a vinyl would not be equal to going to a theater (y’all original topic). Long version of that post to clarify

I agree with all this 100% just talking about the movie to music streaming/theaters/vinyl a***ogy

You holding in your c***to bust that week or what?

And yes streaming music is passive consumption. Sorry to break that to y’all lol, but people buying physical copies in an era where you absolutely don’t have to is a direct sign of higher dedication to an artist and a genuine love of their art. No other way to slice it (cause they wouldn’t be purchasing if they didn’t love the music in the first place, which is something glossed over in this topic)

The original point was that creators would rather see active support than passive support. @slutdog moved the goalpost to the difference in experience when he realized his argument made no sense

!

What's it called when you had to buy an album outright cause you liked the one single you heard on the radio

Sounds like passively consuming the other songs to me, if you even listened

What?

Streaming is a passive activity because it requires little to no effort from the consumer other than searching for the album and pressing play.

Buying a physical copy is an active activity because it requires someone to make a financial decision and choose which album to spend their hard earned money on.

It has absolutely nothing to do with what songs someone likes or doesn’t like

ANOTHER thing glossed over too that I forgot about is: all these editions and box sets and hoopla and s***? That stuff has to check off the boxes and standards of physical media and merch as well. I see these debates and it’s definitely from the standpoint of “merch and psychical media only sells based on the Stan bias for the artist”. Like nah s*** don’t work like that - it still has to work in its own medium. It still has to look good and be worthy of display

So when you look at someone like Taylor for example; she’d be selling albums like crazy even without all the merch and such. It’s just that she and her team have also been so good at making it aesthetically pleasing throughout the years that there’s high demand for it as well (so she and her team supply that demand)

That whippey dude a known kendrick d***rider that’s still tight bout how ktt treated mr.morale don’t let him fool you

You could literally purchase singles separate from the album.. they were available on vinyl, cassette and CD.

Exactly 😂. I’m telling you. They are doing everything to defend their boy.

Also to anyone tryna make the argument that Drake is bigger than Taylor stop it. Taylor is objectively the biggest artist in the game rn, she has everything on lock from the streaming s*** to the sales, y’all just gotta tip your caps to her

I'm sorry that you think I care about your Stan wars

Shut yo b**** ass up. 😂. I’m not the one pretending to be unbias. That’s you goofs lol

I wouldnt call streaming passive honestly

Out of the 3 forms of consumption:

Stream
Radio
Physicals

Radio is defo passive, physicals the most direct and streaming in the middle

You still have to make the conscious choice to search that artist over the million other artists on streaming, which requires enough marketing and awareness of the artists releases to do so

Which is wild cus radio is weighted heavier than streaming according to billboard for the hot 100 yet there is no conscious choice by the consumer on whats being played at all, and artists buy radio deals and spins

Suck my whole d*** you weird ass b****. Just admit you still hurt, it’s okay 😂

• called physical media a gimmick because his favorite artist didn’t sell them
