This is so fcked up! If you think this is not a payola, you're naive! Youtube Music is shameless.

  • I don't care how much you love Allday Project, but this is one of the most disrespectful shit I've seen from a streaming platform.


    Like, what the hell? I don't expect them to tweet about Hwasa being the #1 on their Chat for a whole week, but ignoring her achievement just to kiss ass?


    If this doesn't scream payola, nothing will.


    They would never do this if a BIG4 group or soloist topping their chart. And people dare to say, big company privilege is just an excuse and not real.

  • whats the problem..?

    Isn't it obvious?

    Probably another act getting praised while David feels his fave was ignored and her achievement underestimated.

    He is in his successful era after so many years of fail so everyone should just praise her and her only!

    Girly, if they do this to a Blackpink member, your fandom would go on rampage.


    Why are you acting as if this is her first time being successful when she does this for 7 years?


    I think the fact that no one else have 4 different Perfect All-Kills (not even GD or IU), and only IU and Heize has the same amount or more PAKs says it all.


    Also, it's not really about Hwasa. If any other artist is #1 and YT Music talking nonsense about a PAYOLA group, I would say the same thing.


    You don't care because you love them, but imagine if they do this your faves, like Jennie or Rose etc. Would you say the same?


    This is Hwasa on Billboard vs ADP btw.


    Talent vs Money:

  • So you are acting as immature as dumb blinks, glad you know how unhinged your behavior is.

    And idc if they praise another group instead of my faves. In the end of the day everybody has their favorites, nothing wrong with it.

    Calling out an obvious payola and a disrespectful behavior from an OFFICIAL platform, is not immature.


    My behavior is not unhinged, I have every right to call this bs out.


    It's not about who loves who. YT Music doesn't love anyone, they promote mainstream, because that pays more, simple as that, and I'm not talking about ADP alone.


    But the fact is, they would never do this with a BTS or Blackpink member.


    I didn't see YT Music talking about the rookie Zo Zazz when GD topped the chart.


    pasted-from-clipboard.png


    Or talking about QWER when Jennie were #1.


    pasted-from-clipboard.png


    Or talking about GD, aespa or Jennie when Rose and Bruno were #1.

  • And what they did isn't a problem. You are upset bc as I said, you are finally having something new and recent to brag, but wait!! "Praising another act who is also doing great? No no! Just Hwasa should be praised! Respect her!" Bla bla bla. I'm sure she doesn't care about this.

    Again, this is nothing new or recent. This is not her first or 2nd or 3rd time being on top.


    It's not even about Hwasa, if they do this your BP members I would say the same. Why YT Music talking about the number 2 when a small agency soloist topping the chart?


    They NEVER ignored the #1 when they post about any of their charts. You can see it on their acc. This is the FIRST time when they mention the #2 and not the #1.


    Lisa is my least fave BP member, but if they do this to her, I would call this out too. Just like I did it with Forbes Korea, because they ignored Lisa, because she's not Korean.


    Again, you can't say I'm biased.

  • No, it's not a random twitter acc, it's the OFFICIAL Youtube Music account.


    If it's another Idol it would matter more, especially if they do this to a BIG4 Idol or group.

    You and your one-sided beef with big 4 groups :meme-side-eye:


    Anyway, it doesn't matter. They are rookies. To be that close in recent success to an accomplished veteran is something to be noted, not degraded because, in your opinion, they didn't praise the right person.


    You're acting childish.

  • No excuses and no justification to be calling them names and acting like they are paying YOUTUBE TWITTER ACCOUNT to "praise" them as if they need this.

    You are salty and it's ridiculous how dumb this whole thread idea is.

  • You and your one-sided beef with big 4 groups :meme-side-eye:

    AGENCIES, not groups! I don't hate groups, not even ADP. I dislike their crap Tiktok music, and I would throw Disney boy in the bin, but I don't hate him either, especially the others. I know how this industry works, so I don't care if they use Samsung money or not, but I hate when an official platform does this for the first time. They never did this before.

    Like I said above, multiple times, it's not Hwasa, it's about the #1 artist! I don't care if it's Hwasa, Taylor Swift, BTS or BP members or the Easter Bunny.


    This is disrespectful, and they would never do this to anyone else, and never did it before, as I already told you. That's why it's actually more disrespectful.


    I'm not downgrading ADP's success, even tho, they would never achieve this under a small agency or without Annie, but that's just my opinion.

    I'm not salty. People like you don't care, because it's not your fave, but if this is about Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, BTS or BP members or anyone else, everyone would call them out.


    That's a fact!

  • I'm not salty. People like you don't care, because it's not your fave, but if this is about Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, BTS or BP members or anyone else, everyone would call them out.

    *Everyone aka the jobless behaviors users on Twitter like you? Of course they would go crazy as if it was their own success getting "discredited" when reality is: nobody cares.

  • i stg david just takes his petty twitter arguments and imposes that shit on us lol. Most of us probably would not know or care if this happened to our faves and its the dumbest thing to get upset over.

    Most of you don't even follow small agency groups, so this shit never gonna happen to your faves.


    The funny thing is, I've seen ARMY and BLINKS going on rampage for less. Even here on AKP.


    Hypocrisy is not a suit that looks good on y'all. :iconpepe:

    Kpop stans are not a monolith, hope that helps

    Using that shit platform, and the others is literally one of my job, just sayin'. 😂


    You're talking shit about me, while you're arguing all day about stupid streaming stats and other things here on AKP. Like, stop acting as if you're any better.

  • I mean, the picture says it all. YT Music talking about the #2 when the #1 artist topped their weekly chart this weekend, and no one can take away #1 from her all week on the Daily Chart.


    Like, this is so disrespectful and screams payola.

    This is nothing weird. It’s just some social media manager doing some random shit. And so what if it’s payola it’s just some promo I feel like you don’t even know how the world works lol.


    Even before all this soloists were always ignored in kpop in favor of idol groups in all sorts of announcements. Are you perhaps new to kpop or something

    That's not my point. I don't care about payola, that's the most basic thing in Music since the stone ages. I work in this industry for 20 years now soon, btw.


    But disrespecting the #1 like this is not okay, and they never did this before. Also, payola need some boundaries.


    I follow Kpop since 2003, mate, and I've NEVER seen any OFFICIAL platform praising the #2 even if a soloist were the #1. 😂


    Like, imagine if Taylor Swift is #1 and Bruno oppa is #2, but YT Music praising Bruno. The amount of hate they would get, and people would call them misogynistic as well.

    Not you saying this when you are weeks fighting about it girl status and now this... Really jobless behavior...

  • I can't tell if people actually think it's a non-issue or if they are simply disagreeing because it's David.

    Personally, I'm going back and forth between D and E.

  • It’s not really disrespecting. If hwasa wanted it her agency would have reached out to YouTube that’s how these things work


    Do you think all the announcements companies like Spotify or YouTube make based on good will? Don’t be dumb David you really do sound like someone who joined yesterday.


    If hwsa wanted it her company would have done the needful. Clearly she doesn’t care so why are you bothered and acting like someone who joined kpop recently.

    Yes, groups. Don't even try to deny it.

    And by your logic then no one should praise or commend Hwasa's debut at #43 on Billboard Global 200 because it's all about who's on top, right?
