No. Music blogs sold taste. You visited because you trusted the brand or the writers. Streaming flipped that. In my experience running a streaming service, many users trust their own taste over a curator’s and default to personalized recommendations, which keep them in a bubble.
Ask ANYONE who has worked or crossed paths with Tunji and they’ll no doubt echo these sentiments. He’s a real A&R, a Music Man. He has an ear, but also a heart, a rare combination in this insane industry.
@_ShamGod I mean, what is it all even based on? She has never said anything to insinuate these theories, and to my knowledge nobody with actual involvement on her side has.
I find it comical that anytime you publicly disagree with someone's poorly thought-out music industry take, they immediately counter that you have no experience in the industry.
Look, at the end of the day, music industry advice on social media often comes from people with ulterior motives. Having the answers serves them. Before you listen, think about what they gain from sharing it, and whether that ultimately serves you or even agrees with you.
