Jan 27·1 replyProbably why drake did a 100 gigs, UMG would’ve begged that to be exclusive subscription content
Jan 27They’ve been talking about monetizing “superfans” for a while and testing it out. Weeknd did a super fans only concert in Dec and I expect we’ll see more stuff like this.

Streaming subscriber numbers aren’t growing and now that they’re a public company they need to grow for shareholders.
Interesting read on it if you a business nerd

It’s also a sly move to inflate streaming numbers. Like say you’re a Weeknd fan and want access, but you’re not in the top “super fan” status.
I bet that many people will stream a song or artist on loop on low volume in the background all day just to get access

Streaming is a sickness created by awkward tech bros who've spent their entire childhood/early adult lives seething with jealousy over people who can express themselves through art.
They literally just are Syndrome from the incredibles. Their entire plan is to devalue one of the most important means of human expression because they're still mentally in highschool getting rejected by someone they have a crush on.

Sir Swagalot“priority access” and “early access” should not even be in the conversation when it comes to music
Not from them.
But if it's DTC from the artist and they're selling their music, then I'm all for it.
