I blame YOU nikkaz who BUILD this platform VIA WORLDSTARR then made it the destination for c00ns and ratchets because it would have been more dominant than youtube had it not become the domain of ignorance.

Black people innovate and abandon shyt all the time. Now this cac who sucked blood out the rap game and left when it was dry is trying to 360 youtube. :mjlol:

Ask lyoh cohen why he sensored mos def on the rapeover. He's a vampire. Don't pay that man for shyt.

I already told yaw nikkas independence will cease to exist soon. You won't be able to bootleg music soon. You can't escape the labels every platform is label owned or affiliated.

Then add the fact labels been losing money for years because of independence, they will do everything to gain that power back

Read between the lines fellas... anyone with a camera and a rap video will be charged to upload their content...

Would ruin YouTube. They're on thin ground after the advertising issues recently. Charging content creators would lead to them going to Vimeo, Twitch or somewhere.

They always playing with people's money, changing algorithms, pulling advertising, censoring mahfuggas...

If peeps weren't lazy and learned coding they could say fucc Youtube. That shyt is just a playground for bloodsuccas to eat off the little guy. Shoulda been bushed when they created VEVO.

This music shyt always been a finesse but they being more blatant with it since the profits are dwindling.

YouTube should offer more engaging content like livestreaming concerts and other industry events since that terrain hasn't been explored yet and charge people monthly to view. Like nikkas can pay to see festivals release parties pop ups shows and and shyt along with ad free content for like $50 or some other price points. That's the only how I see this working.

They're eating off YouTube Red/Google Play Music. They're gonna be working on getting more prominent content creators to make series for that paywall. Get that, plus them now offering live TV, the original movies, etc. Plus them battling twitch with the streaming and I definitely don't think the amount of these live 24/7 streaming channels of music and shows popping up across everyone's page is a coincidence.

Some of these big concerts are streamed. I know you can find a lot of Coachella, SXSW, Lollapalooza, etc streams while they happen.

They have succeeded in making the internet analog tv and music again.
Like I told y'all would happen but people wanted to give precedent to labels putting out low quality..instead of rewarding high quality artist. While labels priced everything out of the sector for you to succeed as a real indie.
