I'm not even including the BE/Butter/Proof stupidness or the $300 scam version. When will the company stans realize that "music for healing" is now complete and utter bullshit? The Weverse membership is NOTHING like the Vlive + membership. That one was an OPTION, you didn't need to have it because subs were already there for the people who either didn't want the membership or couldn't afford it, but at least they can still watch and understand their favs for free. Then you have Dynamic pricing, something that since its conception BTS took no part in but now HYBE has started doing with Suga's concert. At what point will be enough for people to realize the BigHit we liked is GONE?
Dynamic pricing is a scam. I don't understand why it's still allowed in USA - it's already banned in Europe.
I hope they will get a lot of negative feedback because of it and will change they plan on it.
But when it comes to subs - they are not going anywhere.
The membership one's are real-time subs while the live is on, ''normal'' subs will still be uploaded and available after for all members (not only paid). So it's still very much an option if you want to pay or you will wait few days.
I don't get the outrage for the 300$ version of Proof. Sure, it's for money - and what of it? No one is forcing anyone to buy it. The same way no one is forcing anyone to buy the merch. It's was collector edition, released later and normal album was available. If people want to buy it, let them... a lot of artist has collectors edition as well. I would never pay for it but there are consumers for it, so why not.
The fixation on AI creeps me out, I don't like it at all.
