This is a book Breh. I know. But I think I have some insight to provide.
The only way Drake makes a move like this is if his financials are looking catastrophic. Remember most wealthy people are carefully managing and leveraging debt and usually are carrying way more than what they have in assets. If you catch them at the wrong time it could be catastrophic, especially when the expected bounce back never comes.
If UMG is willing to air out the music biz dirty laundry and lose the trust of the public this case is easily beatable We know, like Drake’s team knows, that his case has no merit. It’s all BS.
Spotify uses a vector DB and a nearest neighbor algorithm. Those things are pretty unpredictable by design. I’d bet Apple is doing almost the same exact thing with iTunes. As is Netflix and Prime and so on and so on…
These companies will introduce manual weighting to account for trends and to keep their algorithm from eating its own tail.
With KDot washing Drake you had tens of millions of people playing the same exact 3-5 songs (whatever was released on DSP) in varying sequences over the course of a few weeks.
Nearest neighbor algorithms aren’t built for that kind of reinforcement. So when Not Like Us came out and everyone rushed to play it…the algorithm rushed to suggest it at the expense of everyone else. That’s the most likely explanation for Siri breaking.
Also, botting at that scale is not happening in the U.S. Are there U.S. connections to companies capable of doing this? Sure. But they are not showing up on Ak’s show.
1) Spotify and Apple will never be forced to reveal their algorithms. It’s at the core of their business And worth tens of millions to them
2) Drake knows UMG has done the same for him. Just like they did Kendrick. But he knows UMG would never reveal that.
3) Drake won’t sue Kendrick because he’ll be forced into a deposition. Kendrick would be in a position to request Drakes botting data.
Kendrick’s lawyers would subpoena every girl that’s ever been taken on a 18 year old birthday date by Drake and force them to turn over DMs, text messages and answer questions about the nature of their relationship.
Drake is making a calculated bet that Universal will let him out of his deal and take his masters with them.
