    MySpace was the beginning to all of this

    You know how many MySpace rappers about to come back out for a plaque? My ? Tay Zahnday with the Chocolate Rain about to surpass LEGENDS.

    Let that sink in: Michael Jackson is gonna be surpassed by cats going viral with Frooty Loops.

    In a world where fake accounts run amok it isn't the best idea to allow continuous view amounts count toward a plaque for a single or an album. The best solution would be to cap the amount of views from youtube to only 500,000 units or gold status. That way if your ? is viral enough to get hella views you get a gold plaque. Anything past that should be purchased singles and or streams from a paid account on any website.

    While people view ? on youtube even before pulling up spotify, youtube is a very "passive" way to look at content. It would almost be like counting 1 single sale =every 3,000 people listening to ? on the radio or in the club.

    I know they are trying to make it a easy as possible for musicians to get gold and plat as soon as possible. These some GTA cheat code type updates to the benchmarks. Next thing we know they are going to count every time someone mentions a song in public = 1 album sale.

    Is this strictly for official accounts? What about random accounts that have music on them? Are music videos included?

    I'm thinking official accounts and Vevo accounts (since some lables don't ? with Vevo a la WMG). Videos are likely included, don't quote me though, it's purely speculation on my end.

    So how long before we have to pay for youtube?

    I said this before - aallll these websites yall take for granted yall take for granted arent doing this ? to be free they have families too and are trying to make money off it. YouTube is slowly working to make yall pay for their service, they not gonna change that now. Enjoy it while it lasts..... Even news sites and the IC youre gonna have to pay for content. This is why Puffy and Jay are trying to build up social media platforms with Revolt and Tidal. They aint stupid.

    ? wont realize until its too late and since jay and diddy at the forefront, ? will hate it and keep supporting spotify and anything else not named tidal.
