However, I'm really starting to think that she doesn't truly understand what she's doing. Did she really mean to make the Formation video unlisted? Like, what was the point of that? And now, she releases Daddy Lessons (feat. Dixie Chicks) to itunes a week later and then puts it on Spotify. Like, that's just bad management. What is the point of that? And then she releases certain videos to Vevo months too late. Like, why would she put the videos up on Vevo at all if her aim is to avoid commercial success?
I really don't understand her anymore. Like, I'm never going to have 0.000000001% of the success she has had, so who am I to question her tactics.

If Formation was listed/ on iTunes, she would be accused of profiting from BLM. She is obviously passionate about black issues so by making Formation unlisted, it helped certify her art as authentic. She knew she'd make bomb from Lemonade sales anyway so she doesn't lose in the end at €16.99 a copy.
