Exactly, it proves my point. The thread was made by an user with good knowledge about the numbers game. The user saw that many Kendrick fans were expecting him to do numbers that weren't realistic. Many people were saying he would do +500K first week and there were viral tweets from Kendrick fans claiming it would sell 1m first week. The OP tried to warn people by saying it would do around 300K first week
and guess what
OP was right
That didn't deserve to be a thread. That vocal minority was really small. It was a random group of pop fans who wanted their own team.
The early stages of that thread was Drake section riding and bait.
Even a dedicated thread about Auntie Daries dropping -81 spots stayed opened for weeks, but when Drake did the same it was locked in one day.
You can feel the difference in modding after b**** ass TMI or whatever his name was crashed out

That's not true, u can read the thread and see. Almost everyone expected him to do at least 400K, Kendrick fans included
People then complained about the weekly HDD threads so the thread became the megathread for sales.
This whole numbers thing is as big as it is on ktt2 because of Drake stans. That was the only aspect, Drake was the clear number 1 in, so they kept reciting his numbers like some religious texts.
This place would have been better in general if we never had focused on numbers more than necessary but well, here we are now
"All of OPs threads are about sales or artist finances OP you better be rich posting like this how you gon be this obsessed with the next man pockets
Nobody actually believe he can sell a milli first week lol fans over exaggerate sales all the time, even on here. You just made this thread to have a “gotcha” moment later when it doesn’t reach those crazy numbers lol.
NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE NUMBERS BUT YALL
Classic Midrick fans
Aside from being pretentious as hell and thinking they are superior just for listening to him, they bleed out of their a******s in a childlike fit of rage if you even consider saying that his albums aren’t 10/10, he won’t go platinum first week, etc. Pretty sad stuff!
I see all of CLB section stepped up behind you. You're the face that we need to oppose Midrick fans"
Look at this bullshit. Posts made by GreatDivine Schizo number's thread.
Y'all are the f***ing reason why numbers talk is so annoying. Y'all brought twitter threads onto this website. That thread was a Drake sxn honeypot lol.
Literally the first 10 pages were Drake users baiting

idk about a milliion but who literally cares about the sales dude lmao. i hope the actual album itself is ya know, good music
second post.
Very small minority who actually cared in the first 100 pages. Y'all did good with the numbers marketing making the whole site give a f*** about sales in the past 3 years.
This was never the meta since ktt1 to 2020 ktt2.

You can't expect delusional Drake stans to talk about music quality when they leader has been releasing nothing but garbage and hasn't dropped a decent album in almost 7 years. Of course they'd rather talk about album sales than quality lol.

“Who cares about sales”
Presumably the users in the sales thread
“Wasn’t the meta on ktt1”
It absolutely was lol. Young Thug was constantly mocked for being mr 16k
Sales and commercial dominance have and will always be a part of the conversation

''Marketing'' lmao. That's one way to phrase it. Could also just be that people were interested in that aspect of the industry and wanted to discuss it with others who shared that interest. There should be no reason to abuse people for following it in a thread dedicated to it. It's simple, if you aren't interested in them then don't open that thread. I used to care about it which is why I used to be very active in the thread. I then reached a point where I didn't care as much and I've therefore rarely opened the thread and made like 10-20 posts in it in the last 1.5 years. It's not that hard
He has 65 BILLION more streams than Kendrick. They are not competing.
Off of pop music s*** like Hold On Were Going Home that little girls had on repeat
Can't compare this to someone that raps on every song
As a huge Drake stan why does it matter if Joe Budden liked Kendrick more
Both rapper still had to rap
One just did it way better and then had a huge concert to celebrate their W
