I said what I said.



Plenty of things that have been labeled 'dead on arrival' have bounced back overtime. The optimist (and, noted, not the stan) in me is what is keeping me from labeling it a flop. I don't like the idea of counting people, businesses, etc. out immediately. Sure, some time has passed, but it still feels a little early to count TIDAL out.

And, with that being said, I'll leave y'all to drag TIDAL. Y'all got the confirmation y'all so badly wanted to hate it, what they stand for, the people behind it, etc. There's no point in me trying to explain why I feel the way I do.

i guess you think MySpace will make a comeback too

I literally just signed up to Spotify

I prefer Beats to Spotify because there is less fake songs and the interface is easier to use. I realize Spotify was first though.

Mess

Poor dat.

A bit of a shame tbh, Tidal is actually a good thing for the industry but w.e, I can't act like I would have used the service. It'll pick up momentum at some point. probably.

I can't @ how ATRL can't wait for something to fail, even when it could essentially be something that would benefit them.

Spotify surged back into the iPad Top 40 download chart on March 31st, right when Tidal’s anti-Spotify invective hit fever peak in American media.

The backfire

Some people do subscribe to Pandora and Spotify premium services believe it or not.

Exactly. I know more people who actually pay for their subscriptions than people who don't. People actually like to have access to their music without intrusive commercials. Plus, for those of us with long commutes, the ability to take Spotify on the go makes the $4.99 (for students) or $9.99 a month actually worth it.

Tidal wouldn't be flopping if they had a free version but they're stupid so

What's Tidal?

Spotify benefits it and it's free with the option to pay for it if the person wants those services. So what's the problem with rejecting the more expensive option that serves to make millionaires even richer.

Literally so embarrassing. I cannot believe Queen riri was a part of this

Its okay, let it out.

I'm on the Tidal free trial right now and it's so awkward - I'd rather just use iTunes/Spotify. I saw this coming from far - poor my faves

That's what Justin Timberlake thought when he bought it

Honestly, I'm happy to hear this. The whole idea of this just felt like a plea for rich people to get even richer, whilst masquerading it as being 'for the music'. I literally signed up for Spotify the day Tidal was launched.

[Superpower]

They just needed a free version

Well, I mean, duh Spotify and Pandora are doing well. They've been out for much longer.

I think it is too soon to label TIDAL a flop. People are so quick to call something a failure and won't give it the time to run its course. Sure, if it doesn't do anything special in the coming months, call it a flop. But now? Nah.

Honey, it's over! Tidal is already way off the app charts, and they already pulled all their strings. Even the CEO is jumping ship! Tidal clearly needed a better marketing strategy.

Why would they market an app that's supposedly about artists not making enough money using the wealthiest men and women in music? Like... NOBODY thought this was a bad idea?? Are all those celebrities really that dumb... Or egotistical to think that just by having their name on it, people will pay more money for it...
