HAHAHA The poll results.
Repost of my comment from another thread:
The problem is for a service for all, which is what it's being marketed as, is it needs to appeal to all, and pop/r&b/rap music is a piece of the pie but it's stars have
little influence on country, latin, indie, folk or rock fans, which make up the rest of the music listening world, at-least in North America. Making this so focused on Jay and his friends was a bad decision from the start, that's like a new sports team or a brand having 25 different logos, 25 different mascots or 25 different spokes people at once.
Jay may have influence on rap fans, but the list ends there. All of the people at the conference embarrassingly over-estimated their actual value to society. The pop stars who passed this up are probably thanking themselves right now.
HOWEVER:
My question is: Will there be further removals from youtube, twisting the publics arm more and more? Or will they not even really notice Madonna, Rih or Nicki's catalogs being removed? As most people have their favorite music downloaded already...
