2024 account is crazy

The entertainment industry as a whole. Thought that when I saw the taraji stuff. Obviously there’s race and gender involved there with that situation specifically but overall we have to face reality that art is inherently not necessary to our survival so the hundreds of millions of dollars/infrastructure that fueled the great media landscape of the 70’s-2000’s may have just dried up because of the direction the world has went + piracy

Niggas starving and people not getting paid enough for music or film is getting farther and farther down the list of important s***. I’m not in favor of it but maybe the way things were for the past 40 years was then…and this is now

@edumist

but we say it we get called every name in the book lol

The shows thing makes sense. They just book as wide as they can and if s*** doesn't fill out, whatever. They do as much as they can. Overbooking is better than under booking.

Blog era was a decade ago. Not sure I'd call a lot of that stuff journalism anyway. Is a Pitchfork review journalism? We do that s*** on Letterboxd for free

Physical media is trash. Literally trash. You're buying plastic and cardboard to stack on a dusty shelf

If physical media was trash, vinyls wouldnt be selling as well as they do now.

Feel however you wanna feel, physical media was/still is the only way that one could purchase and actually have somebody’s music.

The thing about streaming is that s*** in an instant could all be gone lol. Cant snoop dogg dissapear a CD

i was with you till the physical media part

smoking crack, s*** i guess iphones are just metals and glass too then

unless you don't enjoy being an owner of your choice of media, do you

@browser This is also 1000% why all ur fav artists sold they masters to cash out early.

They probably were seeing the signs a crash/reset was coming.

physical media is just gonna end up in a landfill and everything is on the internet anyway

People said this during covid. Stop the fear mongering. Truth is consumers are a lot more stingy with their money but trust and believe they're still dropping money. Look at the eras tour or beyonce tour. Look at barbie and Oppenheimer. Truth is if you got a s***ty product eventually it will catch up to you. Going "viral" doesn't mean s*** anymore

In b4 the copium

western culture was always a fraudulent concept

I dont think so

shows in this context is about television not music

who gives a f***

The major artists have consumed the paying fans of all lesser artists in all genres. People are spending huge amounts on 1-2 shows nowadays vs a bunch of smaller events.

western society is doomed

Literally nothing in your post has anything to do with the music industry. Lol

The industry survived Napster and leaks then bounced back strong. It'll never fail.

Physical media is trash. Literally trash. You're buying plastic and cardboard to stack on a dusty shelf

I can say that about literally anything

I can’t think of anything positive music journalists provide. I ain’t been put on to some fire by a music journalist since in forever

The successful ones just eat off hot takes

and please dont compare garbage from letterbox and rym to journalist work, its a pretty thankless gig at that and if you knew anyone in that profession you wouldn't be saying that

they greenlited a bunch of shows in the past years because of streaming, but this model of streaming is not profitable like that. they just cancel everything that is not popular enough

“journalists losing their jobs” no one cares

get over physical media. the world changed.

I feel like they just knew that getting a lump sum for music, which generally doesn't bring much money on its own, is a better deal than uneven royalties over a period of years. always take the lump sum rule didnt come outta nowhere

Physical media slander

I just don't fw the idea that I gotta buy into some NFT bullshit just to listen to Death Row music miss me with that.

Shows can disappear from streaming services in a blink, but nooo, physical media is trash lmao

even im disgusted
