Did Tidal ruin Rihanna's career?
If Rihanna didn't invest so much time and energy into Tidal with BBHMM and AO2, and continued to release an album in a normal release strategy her album would have performed moderately based off 45Seconds success.
Is Tidal to blame and the reason why Rih ended up releasing a below-mediocre, free album which sounds like it was recorded in about three sessions? As far as free albums go heck even Dead Petz is better.
However if she didn't listen to Tidal and released it for $$ on ITunes she would still have sold off her fan base, so my question is why did she listen to Tidal and do you think they ruined her career?
