Guest Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's sad to know that some artists are like this, I have to earn $20 for example, she earns that probably every few seconds Like b---h just be in it to make your fans happy, what the **** are you gonna do with all of that money? But to an extent I do get it, streaming has killed the music industry in many ways, nobody wants to buy albums & singles anymore, it's a very mixed situation that you can view it differently from aomebody else, because of a different perspective on the digital & musical world in general.

Morphine Prince 105,652 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I don't think she's acting greedy, she's just trying to make a statement (which isn't much of a statement anyway). People who want to buy her music will still buy it (and it's not like she's not selling albums), and people who listened to it on Spotify and/or don't want to buy it will just listen to it elsewhere or illegally download it. Streaming is the lesser of two evils. She won't change the industry by taking away her music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellspont 1,468 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 She didn't personally go and delete the music, it was her and her labels decision even if it is a pointless one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdancy 282 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I don't think she's being greedy. Spotify isn't fair on the artists and more people need to take a stand. Streaming might be the way forward but not in it's current form. You know it takes between 125-180 listens on Spotify for an artist to earn as much as they would if someone just ****in bought the single? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladey Gagz 2,512 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Why are you justifying her wanting money by saying others have less.Why are you acting greedy go talk to the person who doesn't have a job or a home and struggles to have food and who can't pay 9.95 a month to listen to music.That's what you basically just said transposed in another situationAnd I'm sure she didn't do that to gain a few more cents Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji 20,113 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 You care way too much and your example just generally applies to everything in life. Isn't it greedy you're sat here b---hing about an artist from the comfort of your own home when you could be out working in a soup kitchen to help the homeless? Pots and kettles. Plus, if this was Gaga you would all be like "YAAASS GET THEM SELLS GAGS" and what not so let's not try to pretend you're actually bothered about her supposedly being greedy, when in reality you all just can't stand another artist is getting recognition for their hard work over Gaga.

Haroon 49,685 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 She may earn more but her expenditure is a lot more than a "normal person" too, so in the end it evens out anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
