Spotify just trying to eat too. The headlines for 2-3 days were "Drake streaming 10 million times per hour on Spotify" and "Drake breaks spotify streaming record xyz"

Spotify wanted the Apple Music Drake stimulus and OD'd on the shyt :dead:. Now they giving out refunds :russ:


There were articles on how all the streaming services were aligning to push and promote Scorpion, I don't even think Universal had to spend that much if anything. Apple he has a deal with so thats nothing, Hov said keep Tidal in the green for a bit in exchange for some promo and Spotify tried to force people to listen by putting it on the cover of Country and Heavy Metal playlists

Cats giving drake a pass knowing if they did this with post Malone, Bieber, Swift there would be a million threads about culture vultures and white privilege :stopitslime:


Post Malone is 100% manufactured vulture, they manipulate stuff for him all the time. Bieber and Swift are pop stars, it wouldn't surprise me to see something like the Scorpion rollout being done for them tbh. At the same time they kinda wore out their welcomes so i don't see it happening - Swift has her own channel on DirecTV though.

They only promote Drake bc he keeps breaking these arbitrary streaming records :manny:. Next it will be the big Latino music wave mixed with some more K-Pop :yeshrug:

And zero of this has anything to do with what I stated the booth's exact reaction would be.

I cancelled my subscription.

I was dismayed by them doing this.

You don't pay for a subscription that is ad-free, and then see Drake's face on the British hip hop mix or 90s RnB mix (which happened).

I went through the chat, and the person was like, "well things will return to normal soon."

fukk that, im going to apple.
