thread of my favorite fics 🫶🏼

I also want to comment for non ARMYs. You know this now means last fm’s data is compromised and not actually statistically relevant anymore. With this removal of BTS listens they have proven they can and will change numbers based on their own desires. That artist that pays them enough or they decide they like? They are now open to accusations of changing numbers. They can adjust as they see fit regardless of who is actually being streamed. An artist that doesn’t fit their standards? Doesn’t pay enough? Can see streams counted at 1 for every 2, 3 or 4 listens. As the saying goes, they might have come for army now. And now ARMYs will no longer be there to fight for other artists. I’m glad I switched off last fm months ago to musicat.

People can’t read anymore so they just think everything means whatever they want it to mean lol

The last fm music bros will swear it’s not misogynistic until they’re purple in the face but then say this shit in the next breath.

(long tweet warning) I mean the following sincerely. One of the significant advantages to owning your own business is that you can run that business how you wish. If the new owners of @lastfm do not want ARMY to use their service, that is their perogative. If the new owners are happy to lose the revenue from Pro subscriptions and to lose ad revenue due to the lower amount they will be able to charge for ads due to lower engagement numbers, that is their decision and their right. I wish them well and I mean that sincerely. Now. Here is why I say the new owners of Last do not want ARMY to use their service. Yesterday, I noticed that my streams weren’t syncing with Last. I assumed it was some kind of tech issue on my end. Checking twitter showed that others were having the same issue. Then someone (I forget who or I would credit) found the tweet and reply below. That made it clear it was not random. I decided to test to see what was happening since I am not a bot and my coding days are long past and I could not write a script if I had to do so. I pulled up the Last website and watched in real time as my scrobbles were deleted. It would show a BTS track that I was sitting there playing as being scrobbled. As soon as the next track started, the prior scrobble was deleted. Last was treating me, an actual human being who was actually listening to the music, as a bot. I then checked to see who owns Last because there is at least arguably shareholder action for purposefully alienating a major portion of user base to say nothing of making a change that resulted in data being inaccurate. It turns out that Last was sold on May 27, 2026. It further turns out that Last was sold to a group of Last staffers. See below. I have not been able to see purchase price or any information as to how it was financed, though sales price may be in Paramount/Skydance’s next set of quarterlies. For some further context, CBS bought Last in 2004 for $280 million USD and it was a cash purchase. Which brings us back to where I started. If the new owners want to cut off their nose to spite their face, that is 100% their right to do so. I wish them well. I also will not use a service that does not want me there. That is my right. I will be interested to see how this turns out. /fin

IShowSpeed ran into a Chinese fan during his World Cup livestream, but the fan’s English was "very bad." Suddenly, Speed switched to Chinese: "冷静，我说中文。请给我的直播加油!" (Calm, I speak Chinese. Plz cheer for my stream!)

Le ponían corazón morado jahskajs 🤧

do u know what's even cuter about this clip? jimin pulled seonghyeon closer cos he was standing a little far away.. and cos hyeon tried to make a little V on his own earlier, maybe jimin noticed and made V pose for him instead holding hyeon's shoulders he's such a sweet hyung😭

bts were still on hiatus during those girls peak and nothing moved
