@S_C_: The iTunes Store wasn't built in a day. It took Spotify 9 years to be successful…

Spotify and iTunes were new mediums at the time and didn't have huge celebrity backing and publicity.

More of the attitude that brought them down
this entitlement, GIVE US more money, GIVE US the chance to get better.

@S_C_: There are many big companies that are spending millions on a smear campaign. We are not anti-anyone, we are pro-artist & fan. #TidalFacts

Literally who?
Quote:
@S_C_ : We made Tidal for fans. We have more than just music. We have video, exclusive concerts, tickets for events early, live sports!...

Death at live sports, the messiness, the desperation
what is this service even meant to be?

@S_C_ : ….Tidal is where artists can give their fans more without the middlemen. #TidalFacts

The record labels have always been the main middleman and Tidal is just replacing another middle man.
Quote:
@S_C_: Tidal pays 75% royalty rate to ALL artists, writers and producers - not just the founding members on stage.
|
And then the founding members get a healthy cheque out of EVERYONE's remaining 25%. Not to say they shouldn't be allowed to make investments but I don't see how this is different to spotify's model, they just have different owners.

@S_C_: Rich getting richer? Equity values... YouTube $390 billion. Apple $760 billion. Spotify $8 billion. Tidal $60 million. #TidalFacts

The CEO's of Spotify, Apple and Youtube weren't braindead enough to roll themselves out on stage and beg for more money like some kind of charity appeal, especially if a lot of your music is just about celebrating your incredible wealth. People don't have a problem with making the rich richer, they have a problem with the Tidal artists being obnoxious morons.
Also this RIDICULOUSNESS about Youtube being worth $390 billion
Quote:
@S_C_: We have Tidal X - it supports artists by giving them a platform to connect with their most loyal fans. Tidal is for all. #Tidalfacts

This Bizarre contradiction.

@S_C_: My cousin just moved to Nigeria to discover new talent. Tidal is a global company.

Ok?
Quote:
@S_C_ : Our actions will speak louder than words. We made Tidal to bring people the best experiences...
@S_C_: and to help artists give that to their fans over and over again…

What can they do on TIDAL they couldn't do on other platforms?

@S_C_: We are human (even Daft Punk ha). We aren't perfect - but we are determined. #TidalFacts

"GIVE US a chance guys. Yeesh, we're not perfect, you're all being so unreasonable, buying public!"
See, Apple did not become worth almost $1 trillion by acting like this.
