You guys are clowns if you think companies are making albums more "compact" for the sake of the environment

We all know it's because jyp wants to hoarde all the plastic to put it in his pants

I agree

thats what I said in my thread about platform albums

sounds like gimmicks

Quote from tetetete

cds are made of plastic so if less cds are produced thats a good thing

Not sure why companies are suddenly pretending to care about the environment but it is ultimately a good thing

bc when we start dying from the heat, oppa probably cant save us

they need us alive for profit

I don't care about their motive as long as the ends benefit the environment lmao.

Now, if the makes things worse...

But if it makes thing better, idgaf why they made that decision tbh lol.

Businesses making ethical decisions is such a peculiar concept

but at the same time, why buy albums? music is free on streaming platforms, you'll only be paying for photocards and stickers. at least if photobook is included. how is printing books any different from printing photobooks?

ditch the cd and keep all the rest.

Why do we even have bookstores? Abolish all bookstores make everything e-book save the environment cut less trees

don't them dare stop printing books

unless the photoshoots that are used in the album photobooks cease to happen, the decrease in cost of album materials won't be that significant in proportion to the actual revenue they get from album sales (since a nice chunk of the revenue will probably go to the outsourced companies who handle printing, packaging and assembling the albums, as well as other parties involved in the production of the album). hiring teams for shooting MVs, conceptual pics and teasers is also a cost that won't suddenly disappear with this "physical album minimalism" idea. i highly doubt they will stop doing those.

these are the same companies who have their idols travel in private jets (and the executives of said companies probably too, in a much larger degree, we just don't know about it), and it's likely that will not be changing, so really we shouldn't be preaching company xyz for "taking a step" to "change the mentality" bc this is all about sustainability marketing every big enterprise has and tbh it's all bs.

the source of income from the world tours that have started after the pandemic is more than enough to make up for whatever decrease or stagnation in album sales they might experience with this waste reduction.

Be careful idiots might set fire to libraries

Countless companies have already been using the word ''sustainable'' marketing gimmick to gain support and investment including mine, kpop is just late to the party I guess..

Thank u Sherlock

Who cares if it accomplished good things overall. Like the hell? Why does this matter

Now watch kpop fans cream themselves over this thinking JYP or any company who comes up with these gimmicks is helping save the world. It's like McDonald going all in on paper straws as a commendable effort........except they still use plastic drinks lids, plastic containers for their sauces, plastic cups and spoons for their ice creams etc. So nothing really changed apart from saving a bit by using paper straws

Quote from icyruios

BISH Y'ALL HAVE PAPER STRAWS? MY MCDONALDS TOTALLY ABOLISHED STRAWS

Lmfao you have no straws as all? That's some medieval era shit lol.

But then again paper straws are utter shit so you're not missing out, it's better to drink with your lips.
