IVE's recent era confirms is impossible to do well in youtube without using ads

isn't spotify the new battleground?

Quote from randkpopstan

Seems like the only group who can pull big numbers anymore is blackpink thanks to the SEA streaming farms, i guess youtube will lose its meaning for kpop fans in some time.

Oh the salt don’t be mad bp is more popular in SEA

is thailand producing sea salt on their farms.

I think it's true. Nobody cares about Youtube anymore, it seems.

All of us have seen blinks paying for entire cyber cafes with hundreds of machines looping blackpink videos, thats just damn hard facts they will do big numbers without them because of their great video production and their videos are watched by kpop fans in general and outside of kpop but stop denying reality friend.

Mate I’m IN reality, you seem to be up your own ass.

Every Kpop fandom mass streams, mind you PV, SD mv still rack up more daily views this year then anny other Kpop comeback besides jisoo Flower Take the L.

aye at least those views are organic, nothing worse than fraudulent false views that makes it seem like the comeback is more big than it actually is. I don't care for YT ads, I always thought it was because the company wasn't confident in the groups debut/comeback so they buy ads. I mean I prefer when the views are at like 10 mil or for V's sake 60 mil cause 200 mil is just absurd for a debut that wasn't all that big outside of bts's fandom. IVE's baddie is just doing "poorly" cause nobody liked the song and nobody wants to stream. who cares for streaming anyway, if the song is bad i ain't streaming nothing at all.

and yeah it's wild how mr beast gets so many views bro his video bore me so badly.

Now that I think about it: how did it happen so quickly? Not that long ago it was all about Youtube and now it's all about Spotify. Spotify has been around for a while, so it's not the new thing everyone is trying. Why did nobody care about Spotify in 2021, but they do now?

Kpop decline prob.

Quote from randkpopstan

i noticed twice started doing better on spotify than on youtube in late 2021 with doughnut, moonlight sunrise, talk that talk and pop all have bigger number on spotify.

Yeah, I guess it was around that time. Maybe early 2022 when I noticed.

maybe it's because the B-sides are better represented on Spotify and people just decided to stream there.

maybe spotify expanding? more access to countries? becoming the better easy access platform? subscription was probablyh cheaper back then?

i agree with the mr beast thing btw. that dude is out of control and needs to be stopped

In the west the most popular platform is arguably Spotify. But in my southeast european countries it's either YouTube music or deezer. Depends on the market. If I'm not mistaken YouTube music is the most popular in korea
