I’m still blown away that people are on a message board about a stream tracking app complaining about people steaming just because they can’t see outside of their bubble of convoluted facts that an artist with the biggest sales day, sold out tour and streaming leader across multiple platforms couldn’t dare possibly have legitimately earned, checks notes…”2 million scrobbles”
New day and I've calmed down. You know, I don't care much that they call me a bot, I've been called worse, no, what really makes me furious is that in doing so they're calling BTS's success unauthentic, inorganic. They're discrediting them & their work. THAT makes my blood boil.
Everyone in the industry seems to dismiss the value of fan-driven streaming and the beautiful culture of a strong, global community that thrives without an industry push. The reason is more than clear: they want to turn everything into a paid game. We have been called bots for as long as I can remember, but I have never met a community as organised, goal-oriented, and hardworking as ARMY.
Perhaps that is why it is so hard for others to see our seven members succeed...because they achieved everything they deserve through pure talent and hard work, rather than just shaking hands with decision-makers.
Please, ARMY, let's never stop supporting BTS with all our hearts. Let's grow even bigger and work even harder together! Let's turn into an unstoppable force. We can and we should do it!
“The healthiest fandoms understand the difference between support & ownership.
From a security perspective, admiration isn’t the biggest risk—it’s entitlement. The moment someone starts believing they deserve access to someone, they’ve crossed into dangerous territory.”
For me Pied Piper will forever be one of the most magical songs in the BTS discography. It casts a spell every time I hear this fantastic song!! Bravo to every single person involved in the creation of it. 💜👏👏👏🔥✨
