The most jaw-dropping music documentary you will ever watch

This documentary made in 2021 thoroughly exposes the modern music industry, especially the contradictions between Big Tech streaming services and the major labels that’s been going on for the past decade:

The doc focuses heavily on Billie Eilish and how her career was nothing more than a front for the streaming services to take over control of the music industry. The masterminds behind Billie’s career (namely, multiple higher-ups at Apple) were plotting this since the mid-2000s when the music industry was in a state of crisis. Ten years later they started grooming and pimping Billie via the Apple-affiliated artist development company known as Platoon as their flagship species, to show how a “subversive” and “outside-the-box” art pop artist could have a phenomenally successful career by defying the major labels and relying on nothing but music streaming.

This documentary is the most important thing you should be watching if you care about where the music industry is heading.

Don’t have the time.

is “subversive”

tells people to vote for Holocaust Harris

Jesus fucking Christ, Chappell and Kehlani have better politics than her.

Billie Eilish and how her career was nothing more than a front for the streaming services to take over control of the music industry

Billie Eilish's career postdates the streaming takeover of the music industry, so focusing her for a documentary about that subject seems retarded. Also,

That's gonna be a no from me, dawg

Stage doc goes into much more than that. Streaming didn’t completely take things over until the late 2010s when Billie’s career was in full bloom.

God I wanna fuck Billie Eilish so bad

So, how about them tariffs?

My understanding is, they were trying to model her career off of XXXtentacion who built a cult like fanbase on streaming alone since the music industry didn’t want to touch him due to his domestic violence case. That’s why she came off as the female version of X early on in her career.

Streaming didn’t completely take things over until the late 2010s when Billie’s career was in full bloom

Which suggests that Billie Eilish wasn't decisive in the streaming takeover of the music industry, rather that the rise of her career just coincided with it. There seems to be no reason to believe that wouldn't have happened anyway without Billie Eilish. The tweens and teens that listen to her music were already inclined to streaming before her name was known

Again, there’s much more to it than that and the doc goes over it nicely.

Every time

Kehlani lost a lot of brand endorsements when she began openly supporting Hamas, so yeah.

Fuck the brands. Be your own brand

Except brand deals are the only way pop stars make money these days. Music doesn’t pay shit anymore.

OP's one is about billie eilish though and i dont care. this one is about all famous people and now nothing really matters

“subversive” and “outside-the-box”

Get real. Her music is bland and boring as hell and her politics are nothing more than “vote Democrat”.

Well, during her rise to fame back in 2017-2018 her main selling point was that she defied major label control and music industry norms. Publications were even comparing her to John Lennon and Bob Dylan (or Joan Baez) for how her music spoke to her generation.

Useless slop.

Just corporate things.
I don't think the situation is different from the 60s nor the 70s.

I got time today cuh

he shills this video in every Billie thread. He probably made the video and is trying to shill his channel.

I’m not Yassine and Yassine doesn’t use Anon Babble. He’s a busy man.

”waaaaaaa the video is TOO LONG”

This is why TikTok needs to die. No one under 30 is able to stay focused on something for more than two minutes.

An hour 40 minutes is a whole fucking movie. For what, some schizo's rant about industry plants? I'll pass

Gramps complaining again

*swipes up*

if you care about where the music industry is heading.

Couldn't give a flying fuck. It's been a giant turd for sometime now.

Music doesn’t pay shit anymore.

projection

700 streams earns you a penny/

Youtubers have a direct incentive to pad lightweight videos out to extreme lengths because it increases their profit. That's more or less the basis of the youtube documentary as a medium

the guy who made the video thinks she's a rapper btw
