Why do people consider it to be ''cool'' to slander Tidal?

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Because they offer the same exact survice that Pandora and Spotify does
but at a higher price,

And you can miss me with the whole ''Tidal drops exclusive content'', Nothing what they drop is exclusive the stuff gets leak within 10 mins of it being uploaded to Tidal

10 mins huh, that Beyoncé album is nowhere to be found yet tho

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

I liked it, I wouldn't pay for it but I have nothing bad to say about it

 

[MrPentatonic]

I love Jay Z. Every inch of him. I bang his shyt daily, so get the fukk outta here with that bullshyt claim that I dont support Jay Z. I been doin' it 2 decades strong. And i will cop his next project.

I just like Spotify

These are the same people that say they sign up to Apple for "exclusive" radio shows like OVO SOUND RADIO, even though that leaks directly after as well.

i'm pretty sure the Apple Radio which OVO Sound is on is free..its if you want to replay it or listen to the explicit version of a show the next day is why you have to sign up but by that time its out there.

Dude is just another buisnessman doing his thing.

No hate to the company but so far I dont see him doing much problack stuff like people claim he be doing.

I gotta make sure that he isnt on that colorless crap before I go all out for Tidal.

It's pretty simple. The initial marketing roll out. Shyt was stupid as hell. Pay extra and support these poor artists

The service is good but id rather pay for apple for a lot of reasons. Cheaper and just has more dope stuff happening. Like sharing my playlists, loads of people have Apple Music.

I still have tidal though. The free trial is so easy to finesse on it just started another 3 month one on another email. Who knows one day I might go Tidal but Apple are doing so many deals. Including pushing artists from my country. Tidal right now don't do shyt for UK music

This. Tidal botched their re-launch with that booty ass press conference with Madonna, Kanye, etc and it came off corny AF. Also, Madonna, Kanye, Jay-Z, etc are all , their best music is wayyyyyyy behind them so why use them to launch your service when young people are more plugged into tech and could give two fukks about a bunch of old rich artists who come off like their stake in it is a money grab.

At least Apple was smart, built a global radio station, got top talent to run it, integrated it into existing tech and went after one of the biggest current artists (Drake) and used him as the mascot. Apple isn't trying to push this "for artist, by artist" bullshyt that Tidal does. They just want you to buy phones and buy music. That's is.

Tidal has exclusives but it's not like it's exclusive forever because these artists know they gotta sell their shyt on other platforms in order to make $$. And anyone with half a brain about tech will say "fukk an exclusive" and download the album themselves elsewhere. Real talk, if I want the new Beyoncé shyt, I'm not getting it from any service. I'm STEALING that shyt!!! like every other album that I've copped in the last 10 years.

you sure about that?

 

[Nostalgic]

At least they pay their artists

You sure about that pleighboi

When Jay Z launched Tidal last year, he did it on the idea that the streaming service would be the first of its kind to take care of artists with higher royalty payouts. After the official launch event, Jay even tweeted that Tidal was going to pay every artist, writer, and producer featured on the service a 75 percent royalty rate, which was higher than any other streaming service in the industry, at least according to Hov. Now, it appears that Hov and Tidal are in some serious hot water over their royalty system, as they're reportedly facing a $5 million class-action lawsuit from Yesh Music, LLC and John Emanuele from the band, the American Dollar.


The lawsuit, which was uploaded to Scribd here, claims that Tidal streamed 116 of the band's copyrighted songs without paying back any royalty payments in the process. The lawsuit was reportedly filed by the firm Garbarini Fitzgerald P.C. over the weekend in a New York Southern District court, according uploaded documents. The suit hints Tidal reportedly used faulty numbers to make payments to artists and may have undercut the money they owed to artists by as much as 35 percent. At this moment, the American Dollar's music is still available to stream on Tidal.


Tidal doesn't give out streaming stats to the public or even artists, according to the lawsuit. The band claims that they were expecting monthly reports on royalty payments and usage of every song, but nothing was ever sent and now they're suing for copyright infringement. The news of this lawsuit comes just days after a report surfaced that Samsung is in talks to buy Tidal from Hov, though nothing has been confirmed as of now. Tidal's success has been a true rollercoaster for the past year, but recently saw a bump in subscribers when Kanye West exclusively released The Life of Pablo on the service. We've reached out to Tidal on the lawsuit and will continue to update when more details come out.
