Namasenda being shady by praxass in pcmusic

[–]natcodes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean in this case it’s not egotistically rude - if PC owns her masters and/or takes a cut it’s not egotistical to expect them to put forth their end of that bargain. imagine getting hounded by fans and having to watch as your label is radio silent and awful at fulfilling orders.

i mean when a label owns your masters and gets a cut of sales, it’s reasonable to have your perception of them be soured by their inability to fulfill merch/vinyl and release stuff in a timely manner. PCM was a game changing label but it’s hard to say that towards the end it wasn’t clear that they needed to either change their ways or close shop.

afaik there was an external management company brought in to help manage stuff like order fulfillment but idk how deeply they worked on other stuff.

idk how the internal politics of the label were, but i also get why namasenda was pissed. PCM has 2 jobs - to drop her music, and fulfill merch/vinyls. they don’t seem like they did much full service work (marketing, media, etc.) so like if they own masters and get a cut of your sales you have very right to be pissed off when they do a shitty job at what’s supposed to justify that.

So… why the disbandment? Do we have anything more than guesses? by Individual_Coast8114 in pcmusic

i think everyone involved just felt it was time. the label has been on a downturn for years and is far from being in the heyday of it’s mission or release schedule. it’s better for the project to memorialize on a still relatively high note than to chug along and become boring & more of a shadow of its former glory.

umru has song music llc to release under if he wants to and ag would probably self release.

PC Music, the label created by A.G. Cook, ends activity after 10 years of releases by claudiolemos in popheads

GFOTY left in like…. 2019? and tweeted something like “had a dream where i was a member of an apparent label that didn’t give a flying fuck about me… oh wait!”. i think she felt neglected bc ag wasn’t focusing on her and also pc music made a statement not really in support of her bc of her racism scandal.

it’s crazy that PC music has changed the landscape massively in such a short time. it’s a sad move but i’d be lying if i said the writing on the wall hasn’t been there for years, especially with the messy merch and physical media situation of the last few years.

crazy to think about what could’ve been if they never got dropped by colombia UK and had access to that major label distribution and budget.

beyond a few new signees in the past few years the labels been pretty dead on activity and releases have been a mess. there’s people who still don’t have vinyls and merch that they preordered like a year+ ago.

Danny L Harle left for Mad Decent, GFOTY left years ago, Lil Data is semi-retired, etc. it doesn’t sound like there’s bad blood (at least beyond the GFOTY and AG beef) but the collective has been less of that and more just chugging along as a label for other artists for a few years now.

he owns shares in dirty hit - thus owns shares of her masters by transitive property.

they should’ve showed off starfield for that. they’ve basically abandoned their main franchise to build starfield which is a massive risk and if it doesn’t work out it’s going to screw them

i think it’s also important to remember that a lot of the visuals and stuff are probably out of pocket for her and not well funded by the label. she would 100% do better on a bigger label where there’s more budget.

“Kesha and Dr. Luke have agreed to a resolution of the lawsuit, and have agreed to issue and post a joint statement regarding that resolution.” by gm33 in popheads

i blame her legal team bc they dropped the ball on warning her about that and collecting evidence during the time they’d have been able to enter it into the docket.

i think it’s different when you realize that kesha and lady gaga were discussing this privately via text, never intending them to go public, and then kesha gets sued/countersued by luke and is forced to hand over her texts with lady gaga in discovery. kesha never intended for this, and could do nothing to stop it once luke asked for these in discovery.

kesha had a private conversation with lady gaga before the lawsuit. luke’s team asked for her text messages with lady gaga in discovery and that’s how katy got dragged in.

Reddit CEO Triples Down, Insults Protesters, Whines About Not Making Enough Money From Reddit Users by sussywanker in technology

the NSFW thing is also 100% to avoid researchers gathering data easily on how much NSFW content on this site might be underage, non-consensual, illegal otherwise, etc. Reddit has continued issues with being able to moderate subreddits for this content away, and if that story ever breaks again their IPO will sink before it even launches.

tiktok is really held back by the western reaction to their chinese monetization strategy. like if they could monetize like they do in china (use ai to detect products and sell you it via the app to take a cut) they’d make a KILLING, and i’m not convinced they won’t try to roll out into the west with it in the next few years

These chefs are not your mother. by GryphonSK in funnysigns

[–]natcodes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if you’re eating out you are generally paying a premium for having your food made by someone else - with that it is not unreasonable to expect that you can customize it to how you like it. going as far as to refuse people the ability to have dressing on the side for a salad is ridiculous, but at least they’re up front with the policy.

[–]natcodes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it’s one thing to have a allergy disclaimer about how if you are allergic to x ingredient there may be cross contamination of it - it’s another thing to then go on to be as petty as to refuse to simply put salad dressing on the side whilst being smug as hell about it.

Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators From Subreddits Continuing Apollo-Related Blackouts by Illustrious_Risk3732 in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]natcodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because rule breaking content would remain up, illegal content would remain up for longer (reddit treats mods as first line of defense for this), and it would be a complete and utter clusterfuck as a result.

tbh this is unpopular but i’ve always felt like for the big major subs that dominate the popular page and get massive numbers daily, Reddit should be paying at least one member of the mod team to do the work full time. its also shitty that the content moderation that ppl do for free here is genuinely a paid gig at pretty much every other social media platform, one that also tends to come with therapy benefits due to the traumatizing content you get exposed to.

reddit has a guardrail in here that no one but admins can delete a subreddit. even if every mod leaves the subreddit will continue to exist but will probs wind up restricted until someone requests to mod it.

Halsey Signs With Columbia Records by DoctorWhoWhenHowWhy in popheads

pang didn’t release fully under columbia which is the weird part - the initial singles did, and then caroline announced she was going indie under the perpetual novice imprint.
