SL Streaming Link Is Probably Real

I posted this in the LG6 Discussion thread, and @ShayCristoforo recommended that I make it a thread, so here goes:

It was found that the UMG streaming link for Stupid Love (ladygaga.lnk.to/stupidlove) seems to be up. As you can see, it uses Bad Romance info instead of Stupid Love. However, from the little research I did in the code, Stupid Love is mentioned in the code, and the places where it is mentioned probably aren’t the result of templating, which means that they would have been manually entered by someone.

More specifically, when compared to other such websites by UMG (justinbieber.lnk.to/changes or ladygaga.lnk.to/thecure), the meta tags that are used when sharing on social media platforms do not match. For example, for Bieber, you have "Preview, download or stream Changes by Justin Bieber", whereas for Gaga, it’s "Go to Stupid Love". This is what will be displayed as the description of the thumbnail when sharing the link of Facebook, for instance. Of course, this could mean that they simply used another template, or that the "Go to *song*" is just the default text, but still.

From the little I was able to gather, it doesn’t seem like this is just a mistake or some random website. It’s practically impossible that it was created by someone else, as UMG owns that domain.

I’ll keep you posted if I find anything else!

Please note that this does not confirm that Stupid Love is coming soon or that I think this is 100% real. There might be something important I missed. If there are other developers out there who would like to help, that would be appreciated!

After that "stupidlove" thing in her site's info or smth, I dont believe these things anymore :poot: 

That content was able to be edited by the public.
The OP expects that it is virtually impossible for anyone other than UMG to produce or edit this current link. Which is why I suggested they spotlight this 

Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time.

I understand, but I really don’t think this is the same thing. Briefly, the other situation happened because everyone was getting access to "common information" that could have been entered by any user of the website (that is called "caching"). But that was possible because the web page already existed, and it was just a single random portion of the code within that page.

In this situation, we have a new page, and in that page’s code, specific instances of Stupid Love that can’t possibly be the result of caching.

I realize this isn’t the best of explanations, but anyway. All in all, this is a lot more reliable from a code perspective, and it has a lot more chances of being real.

thing is, that was patched. her team fixed it once they heard about it.

also, to create something like this you'd have to pay for it. along with that, the domain is owned by UMG. you can't use her website to do something like this
