exposing bots is good for everyone

You don’t have any proof that he used bots. Drake is filing a lawsuit. He didn’t win it yet Feel free to post proof if you got it. Fast food chains, presidential candidates, Trump, Canadian restaurants naming meals after Kendrick.. it’s a worldwide consensus that this drake lost. He has been the butt of jokes for a while now. That don’t have anything to do with bots. Those are the views of living breathing people lol. He is still a megastar, but the world at large sees him as a cornball now

I'm confused. Why would UMG file on Kendrick?

blame-shift finger-pointing.
It's the whole point OF this.
There's no way for Drake to come at Kendrick for defamation because it's protected art. So, you backdoor it by trying to come for him from a business standpoint. Only issue is, it's the exact playbook Drake's been using for decades, so it needs to be turned into an argument of nuance and exclusivity instead of even being able to just say 'this practice is abhorrent and shouldn't be used.'
Because he uses it.
So it has to be an attack on bots and other tools Drake has been using for most of a decade, but in a way where it 'wasn't allowed'.
Like his previous uses somehow were.

The fact that this has to be explained this way proves the hilarity of the situation. Drake isn't mad about bots or payola. He's mad about bots and payola being used against him.

Otherwise, this would be a class-action lawsuit. Round up everyone else who released during this period. Call it a financially disadvantageous position for all other artists due to creating lack of confidence in the streaming data. Self-enrichment by someone using bots to artificially increase their streams, their placements and thusly, their pay.

But he can't.
Because discovery would show he's also been party to it for years. The frontrunner of it.
Thing is, that same discovery would require UMG to basically provide evidence that most of the numbers the industry bases success on are arbitrary at best and easily manipulated at worst.

But he also can't... because no one fukks with him. Because this isn't about other artists.
It's about his fukking feelings getting hurt.

Drake accusers about to appear out of nowhere, it's getting spooky

nikka sped up the simulation

 

[Amo Husserl]

He ain't disputin' the claims made against him on wax, but he wanna know if his employers promoted a beef that did not go in his favor after he asked for it?

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

why would drake file a lawsuit against UMG, when he is signed to UMG and has a relationship with the CEO of UMG (Lucian)? there has to be more than payola and bots because those two things have been around for a long time. payola is pretty much the game and it works both ways, you can benefit from it or it can push you out. Drake is really starting to punch above his weight class and might get pushed out of hip-hop now.

ebro got called out for payola from an up and coming artist during their interview years ago and the artist was never heard from again. you fight against the machine and they'll get you out of there.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Exposing bots is good for the industry as everybody is out here doing it. Even RCA got caught years ago doing it with G-Eazy.

Your favorite artist isn’t as popular as the numbers say.
