What makes yall think Tidal is gonna be able to compete with Spotify/Beats/Google? Nobody cares about that lossless shit. Lmao get over it. Can you at least admit they had a terrible marketing strategy and getting off to a bad start and the Twitter vagina monologues ain't helping?? Can you acknowledge that it's gonna be extremely difficult to capture market share?? I hear yall talking about Samsung and Apple but yall do realize a lot more businesses fail than succeed?

Got a BA in business administration with concentration in accounting from a highly ranked institution and I'm going back for my MBA in fall in case you want to tell me I don't know shit.

well i already have my mba and quite frankly it's too soon to say.

maybe you are correct and the market is not big enough for tidal, spotify and beats or maybe you are wrong and tidal can become more profitable or edge out the rest. It's too soon to say when a company goes through certain management change you give it awhile before you judge

So far all the calls that it is failing is based on its rankings on one platform (apple). That platform so happens to be a rival and is being accused of waging war against Tidal. Just saying.

not just the apple app store rankings see the likes to dislikes in this promo video

in this land of jay and bey stanning its nearly impossible a video would get 5 times as many dislikes as they do likes. fan are clearly disgusted with the marketing and concept of Tidal. Public opinion to me is bigger to me than the apple ranking.


comments from the video

"Where is the originality, creativity and emphasis on the craft? What's more important, improving the craft or improving how it sounds?"

"This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. A bunch of puppets acting like they know music and trying to convince one another that they're not as thick as a plank of wood! I'm still laughing. This has made my day :'D"

"Greed disguised as activism. Disgusting."

""Take a stand" AGAINST WHAT?"

Heat in the moment meme circle jerking doesn't translate into consumer sales nor is it a testament to a fail. If it fails, so be it, but let's try to be level headed about this. The only relevant indicator that people are holding onto that it is a fail is the actual rankings and sales. And only apple is being considered so far. Is it a PR fail. Maybe, is it a total fail? We'll see soon enough.
 
This entire 'debate' in a nutshell just explained right before our eyes

Tone deaf. Basically you're saying 'Who you gon believe, me or your lying eyes'

Its a digital age homie, the Yelp era. Complete transparency and accountability TO the consumer. What "sales" do you speak of if not from 'the masses' who use this thing called Youtube. The dame people you dismiss. Ngga are tbey gon sell it robots? Or are they selling this digital, internet service to people who dont use Youtibe? Lol, cmon, Youtube is a baromter

Ie if 'Latch' is the number 1 song in the country, if i go to Youtube it will have the corresponding millions of views, likes, and majority positive comments. It MATCHES

You cant outrun bad perception in 2015, especially a market for a luxury item. Your perception 9/10 will match or eventually catch up to your bottom line. To be an exception you have to have a near monopoly or limited competetion, ie Comcast. People hate Comcast but they still eat

BY THE WAY...these are Business course philosophies some of us are trying to give yall lls Ecomics, not even just 100 level. And look how stubborn some folk are lol smh
 
This whole convo is just going in a circle so ain't nothing to do from here on out but sit back and watch.... Personally I signed up for it and it had nothing to do with jay and everything to do with the value of what I got for the same price of what I was paying else where.....now only time will tell what they add or change about it to improve it but if y'all calling it a fail after 2 weeks that's your opinion me personally I like to give things a lil more time then that.... So we'll see how this ends....

So you went from being an ad student to a business grad? Interesting. Tone Deaf would be someone not being able to discern the difference between audio qualities. I'm sure you know perception can be changed. Ask sea world and their spammy campaign to rectify their image. It may not work, but don't act as if no effort could succeed, or there would be no PR industry. But hey, i'm gonna sit my ignorant ass out on this one since you gurus know the future.

Thats not what that means, son.

Tone deaf in this context means the inability to detect/the obliviousness to the mood or voice of people outside of your bubble

In a sentence: Jay z tweeting out promo for Tidal as a major American ciry burned was rather tone deaf on his part
 
What Jay eats don't make me shit, so I can care less if Tidal fail or not..

My biggest concern is how does Tidal Benefit me the "consumer" ??

What does Tidal offer that Spotify, Apple, Pandora, ect. don't ??

This shit boils down to, who do you want to spend your money with..

The only time I stream music is when I'm traveling..

I've been using free Pandora for years..

I don't mind the 2 commercials an hour,

they only 30 seconds anyway..

Besides that I use YouTube..
 
i still get most of my new music from cd's, dj pools or listenin to the radio

id rather have a physical copy of music i like than payin 20 bucks a month for that bullshit
 
Pause, though.

Somebody please fix this shit....
