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

[Teko]

Really?!?

Yeah. In theory, there shouldn't be a single song or album that is on Apple, Google, Spotify, Deezer, Pandora that isn't on Tidal, otherwise you ask them and they normally do it within a day or two. Now, the exclusives and other Tidal initiatives (Tidal Discovery) over time will dictate that it has a bigger and better catalog than the rest of the services making it a no-Brainer. Stupid plants have one goal of misinforming ppl with incorrect nonsense; you'don't expect more support and knowledgeable ppl from the Coli but logic goes out the window when Jay Z is involved

That's a major reason, but that's not the only reason, there's also brand loyalty.
People can say "oh you give money to steve jobs and spotify though" like Jay tried to say in his Tidal freestyle, but when those services have been around for awhile and treated users well, it's going to be hard to get people to switch if they don't feel like they're being offered a legitimately superior product, and Tidal didn't feel like that for most. And now with the exclusives people feel as though Jay's trying to brute force them into signing up which doesn't feel good to most consumers, it's like with the Xbox One where the initial info and poor marketing spun out of control and it's going to be hard to repair.
Now me? I have no beef with it though that press conference they had at the beginning still boggles my mind, and when I sign up for a streaming service in a couple of months I know Tidal will be it, but I understand why people would be opposed to it even though a lot of the hate I see being thrown at it seems silly imo.

I understand brand loyalty even I take part but the hate I see for Tidal just seem unwarranted and at times one has to wonder if Jay was never part of this service how different the reception would be but your viewpoint is well taken into consideration.

It's a lot of and the white man ice is colder in this thread and when it comes to Tidal. You didn't hear any slander towards apple music launch or when Spotify did the pay option, I wonder why?

Why do y'all who use it get so butthurt that people ain't fukking with it? Spotify been around longer, and apple is so easily integrated into the phones of millions of users, as is google play music, is it hard to see why folks who use these services ain't paying for tidal long term simply to have first day access to albums that will be on the net within hours?

fukk tidal and all y'all who keep whining about the shyt. This thread is like crying about people using chrome instead of Firefox, like the fukk, use what you like and don't worry about the next (hating) man

I understand fukking with Spotify and Apple over Tidal but what I don't get is the hatred for Tidal. It's just another option for you to listen to music but people act like it's the worst thing in the world.

Yea, like others already said, it was the rollout. One thing that doesn't work in tech in pretentiousness, like you can't get the biggest, most lucrative names in music taking my about they're fighting for more money and advertise the $20/month option. That in addition to threads like this who act like because jay z owns it you need to automatically buy in. People gonna use what they want to - illegal downloads to streaming to copping cd's, let people live.

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

I kept it 2 months after the initial 30 day trial before I took it off my phone. I didn't like it as much as I like Spotify

 

[Rarebird77]

White tech press hate Tidal. It's funny.

When Ye finally released his album on iTunes and Spotify, every article made sure to mention that you could now cancel your Tidal subscriptions/free trials.
Had me like

Paid hit pieces.

Also paid trolls.

Also some paid posters on here to drum up hate.

Makes people perceive that Tidal isn't a good service.

Welcome to thew new world of marketing and PR.
