[BTS CONTENT] From Dynamic Pricing to Weverse Membership now charging for subtitles separately, can we FINALLY admit the BigHit that BTS raised from the ashes is GONE?

Quote from bartkun

wtf is that?

is it to all groups which are on Weverse?

I don't mind subs because of twitter but in same time if they put dynamic pricing just to view "membership only" photos then I'm done with this shit

dynamic pricing is in reference to platinum seating on ticketmaster. ARMY used to feel safe that HYBE would never turn this option on since Speak Yourself tour, but they did for Suga tour (and TXT, actually).

Quote from moonlightelle

Paying for subs is ridiculous, did Hybe forget that probably 70% of the fandom is international?

What is dynamic pricing? I've never heard of that...

they didn't, they are aware of it which is the reason they are charging it

Quote from merribelle

It’s like paying $10,000 for a handbag or $2,500 for a pair of sneakers, it’s your money, buy it or don’t buy it. It’s a choice everyone gets to make.

This doesn’t even make sense

You don’t have a choice when it comes to dynamic pricing

This is like paying for the $2500 bag and then the shop swaps it with the $10k bag without your awareness and you end up paying that full price

I swear if dynamic pricing is the reason (or part of) why we don't have agust d and txt in europe, protest trucks won't be enough

Weverse isn't perfect but it used to be good enough especially compared to those bubble systems I'm not fond of but now they are also doing that.

I never idealized BH or Hybe, they are a company after all, I didn't meddle with the hate because I dislike them as much as other companies and some of it was kind of dumb but those past months were frustrating.

i don't think SEA and japan have dynamic pricing. and how is dynamic pricing not illegal is beyond me

Update: I see some fans trying to distance BangPD from this because it makes them uncomfortable. As if he wasn't on the cover of Billboard, the one revealed just a week ago, talking up how to milk even more from fans not to mention using AI to mimic his own artists.

Not sure why the kind, friendly uncle image is something we are holding onto for dear life here.

“Artist and music for healing” was an old tagline for BigHit.

Now it’s “We believe in music (that helps us exploit fans to the fullest)”.

Those of you still finding excuses to defend this company and Bang PD, especially over dynamic pricing, I don’t know what else to say.

Since Vlive was shut down, HYBE succedeed in making ARMYS use Weverse.

Don't know if something new dropped so maybe I am responding on old info, but wasn't the paid subtitles be only for real time translation and the "normal" subs that are added later and are still supposed to be free.

At least that was a plan when they first mentioned the subscription plan but I didn't follow the new updates about weverse so maybe i did miss something?

Cuz if they want to really make it all paid, than weverse would be useless... everyone will watch on youtube with fan subs. It would be idiotic move... than again BangPD and Hybe are making a lot of idiotic moves so...

i dont mind it if i get proper subs, people do know this whole kpop business isnt charity. also, please close down comment section to just memberships, no one needs asinine spam from antis and others.

what i do hate is the lack of physical media, i hate digital codes

It's all about the money.

Quote from paradis

And when we get dynamic pricing for the mega BTS comeback tour...sigh...I have zero hopes now since that company will need to milk Armys to the max to show ginormous profits

And agencies know that fans are absolute fanatics about their faves. Whatever outrageous price HYBE makes for a BTS comeback the fanbase will buy it because they don't want the boys to NOT be number 1. Cue next album being all "platinum edition" with nft codes some ai bs and the box art and stuff costing 200$ a piece

cmiiw but isnt the old big hit staffs are now at source music? iirc the bighit staff who managed bts before also manages TXT and now transfered to source music by bangpd.. so yeah old big hit music is gone for good
