It seems @lastfm miserably and poorly attempted to damage control
But that attempt is so backhanded because they didn’t even attempt to try and address some of the misconceptions about scrobbling their “real users” have
Remember to delete your lastfm accounts
I know people act like we’re being hysterical and butthurt for leaving LastFM, but isn’t it more weird to expect us to use a product that doesn’t do the exact thing we were using for anymore? We want to track BTS streams and it doesn’t track BTS streams. It’s a no brainer 🤷🏻♀️
Hey everyone,
Just a quick heads-up about what’s been going on with Last fm, in case you haven’t heard.
Over the past few hours, Last fm seems to have made some changes to its algorithm that resulted in BTS disappearing from several of its charts. Subsequently many of us have noticed that our plays aren’t being scrobbled properly. It’s becoming clear that the platform is flagging a significant portion of ARMY’s activity as spam or bot behaviour. Furthermore we have seen screenshots from their forums that dismiss BTS charting as inauthentic.
We don’t accept that.
We work hard to stream authentically, and having that dedication dismissed or written off is something we refuse to get behind. We will always stand by platforms that treat BTS and ARMY with respect, and right now, Last fm isn’t doing that. It’s not even doing its job of counting streams correctly. So for now, we’re asking you to unlink and delete your Last fm accounts.
Right now, you may want to switch to apps like Stats fm or Musicat, especially if you’re running missions on bcd app! Keep streaming. Keep playing. Every play still counts across all music platforms, our support for BTS will never be held hostage by small-minded people. 💜

Lastfm has reportedly seen a significant decline in users following its dispute with BTS ARMY, with its app rating dropping from 5 stars to 2.5 stars amid growing backlash from fans.
Close your https://t.co/lYD65Ek2DJ accounts. There’s no need to give any traffic to a platform run by BTS antis with a weird vendetta against them. They should not be holding onto your personal information either.
I think its funny that the English are surprised Boston can hold a 250 year old grudge. Coming here and shit talking our new Scottish best friends definitely isn't helping their cause either...
