Taylor Swift has played a major role in how Streaming service pay The artist! Everyone from all fandom should thank Ts because of whom their artists earn good money!

If anyone ever wondered, "Why are there so many music streaming services?" If there was only Amazon Music for example, Bezos could charge anything he wanted a month and no one could really stop him, similarly to what's going on with Ticketmaster currently.

Billboard, we all know that you are targeting BTS ARMY. The fact that you uploaded this video just a few weeks before BTS release their comeback. It's obvious. We know the value of things in this music industry most likely more than you. Hope you realise that changing rules won't change our success 👍

[valendez]

This also all depends on the LOCATION OF THE LISTENER. The money paid depends on geography. Unfortunately, a stream in the USA is worth less money than a stream in a South American country.

It’s all bullshit. The artists should be getting paid way more than they are.

Coming here to see ARMY in the comment section because we know they know we know.

You only give BTS a fraction of a second, which shouldn't surprise me given the past. You'll get your Proof.

[owenxox]

[sanchos_pants]

I'm trying to understand the content of this vid but I keep seeing BTS fans in the comment section. Can somebody please explain it to me why they're acting as if BB is offending them again?
