For folks who dismiss this as 'just marketing', remember the SEC has rules around disclosure for marketing that these schemes don't adhere to; and even if they did disclose, it puts a giant asterisk on millions of views/listens.

@iamstillpunch No. I force myself to listen until my eyes bleed. In fact, I don’t enjoy anything anymore. Not even sex, food etc. life has become a joke. The only thing that makes me happy is twitter.

@Jo428De @theneedledrop You can have your Mozart, Debussy, Brahms and all of the orchestral mainstream high-stakes, big-money “pop music” of the time. A landfill of yawns.
I’ll stay by the side of Erik Satie, the godfather of “underground music” who lived penniless in that same era.

@_briefbarf_ @theneedledrop Oh really? So during Mozart’s days pop music was in landfill ?
English
@theneedledrop I dunno man. Pop music and major label output has always pretty much been a landfill. Let them play in their trash pile I guess.

can someone seriously tell me why numbers are more important than quality? By this metric is rockstar by Post Malone the greatest rap song ever?

@Zach23066 @WhoopingFeet Because it’s not real. It’s just pushing an agenda to make it trend but no one actually cares about the topic(until it’s trending). Basically bots without bots.

Trevor Noah is 100% correct they are paying for fake trends now
Drake Iceman currently has a campaign that’ll pay u if u get 100k views on X, TikTok or IG
This not including the Kalshi, Stake, Polymarket etc … as well as what they paying big media pages for fake hype

@ChiokeH82936 @Zach23066 @WhoopingFeet lol wtf?? It’s called marketing. It’s not illegal dumbass. People still have to fw the music you can’t just force garbage on people - it won’t work.

The left side still exists if you’re willing to travel to beautiful Hamilton Ontario
USA Reject@sadreturns
the left side actually made me sad to remember what we’ve lost

Under Armour is an American company.
So why is Pierre promoting it when Canada has its own sportswear brands?
Lululemon — Vancouver
Arc’teryx — North Vancouver
Muttonhead — Toronto/Ontario-made
True North Sportswear — Canadian activewear
“Canada First,” unless there’s a photo op?

@nora_trk GNX is one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time

I will not be gaslighted into believing that the album that had Reincarnated, Luther, Gloria and Wacced out murals is a bad album.

I will say one thing drake has good
Music and I’m just saying this from an outside perspective not wanting beef but it’s seem he has no identify to himself. It’s a mashup of different beliefs different views only caring about what can move the public toward his side. The sounds are all over the place even tho some songs sound good it’s a very confusing sound. Respectfully.

@brwnsknjermaine lol. Stay in your lane and stay out of Toronto cultural issues if you don’t get it

I didn’t even know that nigga was there😭😭

It’s quite hilarious that the boi is jabbing Derozan while big upping Kawhi as if Kawhi wasn’t at the Pop Out and Show concert too lol.

@privatemacro @youoldfool Stfu. This is how Nike writes. Ai copies Nikes - not the other way around
English

Jannik Sinner can do it all. 6 consecutive titles, a career Golden Masters, and a new record set on home soil. This isn't just history — it's his story in the making.
