It was not a good post.
@Data-Hawk had truth sprinkled with a bunch of other unrelated stuff. I always hate when guys like that post because he's a smart cat (despite the fact that I disagree with him on a lot of things), but he allows other people who blindly hate to cling onto him for legitimacy. 98% of Tidal haters on here could not have articulated or pointed to what he said. Furthermore, why would people be defending Tidal the service in here when the argument is about the coverage of the service. People like
@Malta are missing the entire point and that was in my first post in the thread.
Aside from that,
Tidal has laid out what it does a bunch of times, but people in the media do not care. They're still telling you it costs 20 dollars per month. Have you noticed that very artist besides random euro bands has said Tidal is a good idea, but they don't know if it will work?
edit: I just read your post and my reply below doesn't really respond to what you just said........But I typed it up , so I'mma leave it
The only thing I remember from Tidal advertising is this:
From the commercial - ( 20s mark )
"Group of people being able to get together and make a stand", WTF? why would that interest me in any way, am i suppose to feel sorry for them? All of you are already millionaires, what exactly are you standing up against? That's what alot of people felt( Right or Wrong ), it's like Bill Gates complaining about taxes, even if he's paying 2 billion a year in taxes none of us are going to feel sorry for him. Now here's the thing, You can't say "Data-Hawk you're wrong" weather they meant that or not, me and alot of other consumers took it that way. So we are in the right. LOL.
As a consumer it's not my job to go looking for what they "REALLY" meant, that's their problem.It's up to them to come back with a different message and make us believe different.
I would like to also bring up the
EGO of these musicians, at the 50 second mark, Beyonce says
"If our fans can see that its from us, it's done!" , again they are banking on their
star power only as a reason for us to support them. A song is a song, what difference does it make to the average consumer where it came from? It only needs to be easily accessible.
at the 9 second mark Jay-z says " Change the course of history" , How will this change things for
"me" Hov? What will you do that is so different? As a consumer I shouldn't have to research what you meant.
40 second mark Jay-z says - " I think it's one of the things that sets us aside from someone that's a tech company" really? last I check technology is the main force behind this and the only thing I've seen so far that could be different is the high quality version which is driven by somebody who came up with an effective algorithm, not you.
1:20 second Madonna says - "Its about putting art back to the forefront, it's about bringing
humanity back to being an artist".....wtf does that even mean to somebody whose just trying to listen to a song while they do another activity? This sounds like they want us to donate to a save the dolphins charity.
. Look at the environment of the commercial, looks like a country club or some event where only rich people with elite attitudes can attend, am i lying?
Now here's the really funny thing, I'm actually looking "out" for his product more than most of these posters. Yes we should support black businesses, but at the same time you should also be critical of them and say what's working( I think they Concert helped ) and what's not, So they can come back with a better product and better message. Me being a hater or not wanting to support a black business would be me saying "This sucks" and never looking at it again. It's owned by a black man, but I'm sure he wants a diverse customer base, He doesn't want just "black" customers who will blindly support him just because they share the same skin color. So somebody bringing up what's wrong with the product is not a c00n or a sell-out. It's constructive criticism ( at least on my part ). If somebody made this same post and put Mark Zuckerberg in the article, I would go
.
Let me drop this off here to show how much hate Billy use to get back in the day:
the consumers telling jay nall bro im good ima keep getting crack from my same connect who I know aint the feds and I know got that a1 yola 
for cheaper
revenue thru the roof
