Serendipity 7,821 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 1 minute ago, SlayedForTheGod said: if you want to listen to a song on spotify just search the artist or song title. this honestly wont do much damage. drake had an apple exclusive with views and hes still the number one artist on spotify. so take this with a grain of salt. Spotify has explicitly told artists who offer Apple Music exclusives that their music won't be included on featured playlists, and Spotify has also "buried" their songs in its search rankings. The music streaming service has reportedly been using these retaliatory tactics for about a year. See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manyatyau 262 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 But how can they possibly burry Big name artists like Lady Gaga? It will only irritate their users. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just how competition works. If you want to attract artists to sponsorize you, just improve your service in order to bring them in. Being petty and "punish" artists for not choosing you sounds so elementary school If theyre gonna help the competition then why should they give prime slots to them? I don't like the way they said "punishing". It just makes sense business wise to not promote those who promote ur competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debithius 5,056 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Spotify is getting salty over the fact that upcoming major arists are not debuting their music through their platform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the way they said "punishing". It just makes sense business wise to not promote those who promote ur competition. It's about rising your competition level in order to attract artists on their side. I know very little about this kind of stuff, but I think it's like when I choose to buy an LG tv over a Samsung one because the former has more to offer. Samsung, instead of punishing me by not letting me buy any other Samsung item (for example), should try to improve their TVs so that maybe people may choose them over the LG ones... This is my interpretation I don't know if it makes sense at least I tried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akiki 3,900 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Spotify is working in the name of music, It's not just about them but every other streaming service. This is good for everyone, but the greedy artists that trade their art for a check. I don't get why people are so upset. They are right or at least they are making something to make things accessible to everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,772 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Is this even legal? Praying Gaga just releases on every platform at the same time. MUSIC NOT THE BLING, girl. (and charts) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,365 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I would be really happy if both services just died. I've never really supported these music buffets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And undercutting competition is common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and charts) I think it is. It's the same situation but in reverse. If you don't release your work to a broader audience it's because you don't want it to reach that audience. Why would spotify promote those artists when they decided to release their work exclusively? This measures will benefit those who want their music everywhere. They should be on the top of the list and not the ones that went after a check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're literally doing the opposite by burying artists and making them harder to find on purpose tho. They don't give a **** about making music more accessible. They care about making more coins and punishing everyone who helps their competition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
