Louis talking about the boys 🥹

#was thiking how if h had said the things louis had said #about 1d #and the way he phrases his music snoberry #while reducing us too #to some tasteless women who don't know what music us #H would have been burnt at the stake #I am just tired that no one is having the conversation #about how bad louis' image is right now #and how not engaging it is for us #we do it when it comes to harry so why not with loouis

Streaming off that many devices is more absurd than immoral. There’s no way that wouldn’t be flagged as bot behaviour and excluded. The reality is that a relative handful of obsessed fans from a mid tier artist like Louis aren’t taking money out of the pockets of smaller artists. Louis’s streaming numbers show a normal pattern of use. The numbers are high in the first week and then decline because that is how fans have always reacted to new music from their favourite artists. (1/3)

The elephant you never want to acknowledge is that the handful of top tier artists like Harry are making obscene profits at the expense of smaller artists. They always have but streaming structures have exacerbated that. They don’t even do it primarily for the money either. They do it for the prestige of awards and kudos. (2/3)

It’s the same with dynamic pricing too. You could sell five other tickets for the average price of one of Harry’s tickets. It’s even worse for some artists. Top tier artists sucking up the majority of people’s disposable income will prevent other artists from touring. I wonder how they justify the choice to put other artists out of work. (3/3)

*******

So there are a couple of things I want to say to this.

The first is that all members of 1D, including Louis, are among the handful of aritsts who are making very good living from streaming. 1D is still making them a lot of money and they're all doing well enough out of streaming to be in the very top tier of artists. The idea that Louis is a 'mid-tier' streaming artist - shows that your understanding of the music industry has already cut out most musicians. If you're going to try and talk about the music industry, please learn about the wider range of artists who are either on the brink of making a living, or would have been able to make a living in the past.

I don't think it helps people understand the industry to compare dynamic pricing to streaming. Streaming is literally a zero sum game. There is a finite pool and if fans stream more, eveyone gets paid less per stream.

Dynamic pricing isn't so direct - there may be people who have very strict concert budgets and stick to them, but mostly people are going to be choosing between concert tickets and a wide range of leisure (and non leisure!) spending. Dynamic pricing sucks, but the impact on other artists is nothing like the impact of streaming.

I wanna see ur Taylor Harry music parallels just for fun 🥺👉👈 blame it on me if u get hunted

Hi bby,

Oh the one I heard was today was

“gravity is holding me back” (as it was, 2022)

“he spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity” (forever winter, 2021)

also

“I want to hold out the palm of your hand” (as it was, 2022)

“my pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand” (ivy, 2020)

it’s just them using specific words and me being a stan of both slcbaoqbxlzn

I am not a TS fan but boy oh boy is she sitting at a nasty intersection of misogyny and capitalist greed. The idea that people can write this off as “business as usual” should tell people everything they need to know about the predatory nature of the music industry. I can hear the chorus of “it’s just good business” from here. She didn’t even get the chance to bid on her own life’s work because she refused to sign an NDA and promise not to speak ill of Scooter Braun. What sort of nonsense is that? What’s even sadder is that the vast majority of artists don’t own their masters. This is how the music industry operates.

Okay, 21-26 please, I'm VERY curious about your opinions! 💖

Fringe! It's so soft and he's always messing with it ahdjfj i love it

Shaved!!! What even was that blonde streak honestly ajfgjbhj my favourite hair on him is when he keeps it longer and without any product (but ALL his haircuts are glorious tbh)

25. Blonde or brunette Niall?

BRUNETTE!!!!!!!! Not even a question
