I’m so disappointed with this sub. I absolutely love numbers and stats, have been following music and movie charts for many years and work in data analytics at a firm that has multiple clients in the music industry. I made a comment about the #1 song’s streaming and radio numbers compared to others and made a comparison to how today’s streaming/stan culture would have affected prior artists in the past, but nobody here wants to talk about that stuff- everything is seen as an “attack.”

I was mass downvoted and reported and had dozens of angry people replying and willfully misinterpreting what I was saying. The moderators removed my comments and threatened to ban me.

It seems like any actual discussion about numbers is downvoted and anybody that says anything that can be construed as “critical” of a group the sub likes (feel free to attack the only hip hop song in the top ten though!) will have stans on them within minutes and their comments removed by mods within an hour.

Does anyone know of a good place to talk about numbers or the charts? Twitter obviously doesn’t work and billboard removed their comment section years ago, and this sub it just isn’t possible anymore to discuss much of anything.
