We made Tidal for fans. We have more than just music. We have video, exclusive concerts, tickets for events early, live sports!...
The lies. They made Tidal for fans? They made it for themselves, so they could profit more.
And does Jay Z remember all those subscribers and members joined because of that free trial. Lets see how many will actually continue once they have to pay. I bet 80% will not continue.
Tidal is a mess by itself but I will agree that someone is smearing them. I am still waiting for the source for that one million streams per day. HDD needs to stfu.
This is his fault honestly. Mistake one were those melodramatic videos and tweets as if the music industry as we know it was going to change for the better. Mistake two was when they let Alicia get on stage at the press conference to recite the Gettysburg Address instead of using that platform to do an Apple-esque conference and sell the service to us the way he did to all of those artists. Mistake three was clocking what everyone had to say about TIDAL in a text interview nobody was going to read. Mistake four was too much focus on "exclusives" ... none of which are all that so far besides Bey's and Rih's
But the middlemen are there still; the artist and there labels. Anyone who doesn't have a stake in that company, is not making a lot of money as the people that are stakeholders.
