Whispering 18,865 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Then tell me how many times i have said that? You should perhaps learn how to read more thoroughly, because my statement wasn't against Gaga at all, it was against some people in here, who are always b---hing about every other artist, but when it come to their favorites they start crying everytime someone has to say anything about them. Which wasn't the subject of the thread. And you were wrong, because Gaga would get slaughtered here if she had pulled this same move. No one is safe from getting dragged on this site. (unless they are a complete unknown and pose no threat to anyone) That's the truth of the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladey Gagz 2,512 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 *sigh*It doesn't matter that she makes a lot of money already. If she's not being paid fairly for her work (which mind you, doesn't 100% go to taylor, but mostly her team of not famous people helping behind the scenes), then she deserves the proper payment. I'm not even a taylor swift fan and I'm agreeing with her. It doesn't make her greedy, it shows that she knows the value of her art.And if this was gaga, you would all be defending her and attacking the people mocking her and calling her 'greedy'. So all of you can kindly take a seat. :applause: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retep 0 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I don't even see the issue on Taylor's side being directly with her 100%, she's not even the one taking the greatest hit. If Taylor is getting $500,000 and is one of the top artists can you imagine what other singers/bands make? Spotify is making ridiculous amounts of profit from ad revenue and subscriptions and isn't even supporting the artists on the service in a fair way. I think Circa Survive (a semi-mid popular band) posted a while back getting like $34 from streaming, I see it as more of a strike; it's simple: make payouts more balanced for the amount the artist is being streamed.

CHANTEL 2 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 what if everyone had this philosophy though? the world would be full of singers and footballers and no doctors hehe. just a thought. except sis, not everyone WANTS to do that and not everyone has the talent/star power/etc. to do that People try to do as much as they can within what they want to do not what necessarily brings in the biggest amount of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Streaming is the way that things are going. There's no way around it. People want what they want right at the moment that they want it. Spotify, Netflix, on-demand TV, whatever, it's the direction that things are heading. Can't stop it. This is true, but even at that, everything still isn't available anytime you want it. CBS has now set up a separate paid on-demand service. Otherwise, you have to wait a week to see the shows you want to see. Certain TV shows won't be available on Netflix, due to the fact that they are getting more money somewhere else. (such as Modern Family) Just when you think you have a good thing going, the cable service will add levels to your on-demand service, where you have to upgrade and pay more if you want all the shows they have to offer. They will find a way to make you pay more for the services that are the highest demand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaMyBlood95 9,915 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 And then people will just piratebay it and you get 0 for your music. I just got spotify for Gaga, if I want anything else and it's not on Spotify, sorry but I aint paying a dollar. And then there's countries like mine that don't have access to Spotify at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stop please, i don't like your negative energy at all. Not gonna answer to you anymore, it's just waste of time. Looked back at my comments- I never said everyone. I figured you would understand that "people here" didn't mean every single person who is a member here, but just to clarify: There would be some people here who would.... There would be those here who would.... Just replying to your off topic comment and that's more than fine. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv u Sum 2,391 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Her career is making music and in return she gets money...and spotify is preventing that from happening. If you had a good pay amount and then something shows up and your pay gets decreased wouldnt you be pissed about it too? And also Tay is not the only person this is effecting its hurting her label and everyone who works and gets payed from her sales... All this money doesnt just go to her pocket. It goes into a lot of things that she needs to make music. So stop being smart asses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor 1,060 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Everyone in this entire thread is wrong. The numbers that her label used were cherrypicked, they were from the US ONLY, and they were BEFORE her new album released. So OF COURSE, the number is small, worldwide it is much larger and with 1989, royalties would be in the range that spotify are saying /thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if this was gaga, you would all be defending her and attacking the people mocking her and calling her 'greedy'. So all of you can kindly take a seat. So True!!!! She doesn't know everything. She does have business advisors too. It's her decision to remove her music because it is her art. People need to just accept it and move on! If Spotify works for other artists then that is great for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
