fan base Beyoncé

What has to be acknowledged is the fact we, her biggest supporters, will mostly not engage in fan-like things such as purchase of special editions, vinyls etc..

I know I wont. I will never ever ever pay over 100€ again for products that are scams (cheap ass Shirt, nothing special) or delayed and incomplete products (vinyls). Her attitude is HORRIBLE. Not even an official "Sorry my fans for the delay". Imagine big companies pulling this stunt. 

Its inexcusable and all she will get from.me and many other from now on are FREE STREAMS. Thats all. 

Not her losing her only fan in Germany

Im still making up 50% of her total streams here, so she can thank me dearly for her  Top90 charting singles and making it 5-6 weeks on our album charts.

Like the emotional twisted guilt trip always happening in this thread is so weird. 

What does her sacrificing her youth have to do with sending songs to radio? What does it have to do with putting a word out about your single? What does it have to do with telling your team to do all that? What does it have to do with putting songs on Spotify? 

And most importantly what does it have to do with caring a little bit about your fans?

That lavish party that she threw for some of the lowest of Hollywood like Kardashians and Megan Fox took more organization, fanfare, money and CARE than she has given to us since ST. 

I was so admirative of Drake's socks until I realize they all received that. They received fancy packages with beautiful socks and some other custom items for free. That's so cool. Those socks are so cool and they look like quality. 

And that had me thinking, what do we get for our money : a lazy shitty all black box, with an awful cartoon poster and a 1-dollar T-shirt that is already falling apart. Not to mention it came late and had double fees for some of us. 

 

The reasoning also doesn't make sense when she's been putting high-budget commercials for Ivy Park every six months and pushing it every where. Even in France, where I haven't seen a video of hers on TV since RTW. IVP has TV spots, huge Instagram compaigns, huge push on IG, she posted it on all her socials and her IG is literally her either poing as an influencer or IVP's promotion. it is promoted to hell and back! Does it not feel like a sacrifice when it likes directly in her pockets? 

Oop. A clock. Some dedicated stans act like you're asking for the world from an artist to do their regular job. She built a whole entire label and they tell them exactly what to do. She's not in a 360, nor is her story nearly as tragic as some of her peers and predecessors. 

 

So sometimes I get sick if seeing those types of excuses in this thread. Mariah doesnt have to work another day in her life but makes sure she has enough to celebrate her 25th anniversary for an album and perform AIWFCIY once a year. She has twins the same age as Blue and she's single. 

 

It's just not as hard as some of these stans want us to think.

Ehh I hope not. We were promised fun, joy, light and dance.

Whew this thread  The Hive is FED UP with the "Daddy" songstress and her shenanigans.

[Mitsouko]

I believe all true stans still love her in their heart of hearts because we know she's nice and good and a genius aand whatnot. And even those who say they're done with her probably will never stop hoping for a change. But we didn't sign up to stan an influencer bot. It's not the Hive's fault her belly collapsed in October 2011, stop punishing us Giselle.

That ong was #1 for two weeks and is already #62.

It will probably not get higher than top 30 on YE.   It is also already dead in the UK. Poor BMS, it is an anthem, alas heaven couldn't wait for it.

Come on CI and AS.

Y’all complaining about rankings always happening but complaining about Bey happens just as much repeatedly  the difference is rankings change, Beyonce’s 10+ year of career f*ck ups won’t ever change

[Golden]

I'm really sharing the sentiment in the base right now. The Tiffany ad/teaser (whatever the hell that was ) was the last straw for me. Why would she release a visual teaser for it in the midst of an era knowing her fanbase is craving for visuals/SOMETHING to be released. Like... who the **** cares about her partnership with a luxury jewelry brand 97% of her fanbase can't afford. I'm glad I didn't spend a DIME on this era. I'm returning the same energy she's giving which is absolutely **** all.

Yeah I'm really just complaining for the hell of it. I still love this woman to death and whenever she releases she got my money and streams. I just want the world to enjoy this album, not just the fans. The last part is so ****** up  

[Keith]

I liked the Tiffany's Ad. She looked great there.

[SashaDevachelli]

Yeah the Tiffany Ad is so dumb, that isn’t targeted for the average person to just purchase, especially in these economic times. And Ivy Park is way too ugly to be priced how it is, I’m gonna stay quiet on her business ventures

She's not done anything that bad besides not interact with us. 

 

Maybe this is easier on me because I'm not as invested in her anymore. I was RABID before the album but now that we have music I'm satiated. I've come to terms with the fact she is no longer a public figure in the way other celebs are. I don't really look to her for inspiration, etc the way I used to. I just love the music and the message.

 

Different people need different things. I do get that. But all the anger over singles and album success, I don't.

The saddest thing is that all this frustration could be avoided if only she was a little more transparent and concrete with her rolllouts.

 

I mean, if we knew already exactly what act ii and act iii will be, and when they are coming, the frustration would be WAYYY lower. But no, she needs to torture us with mystery

 

Remember when the whole Lion King soundtrack tracklist was announced with the exception of Spirit? What was the point of that? Sometimes I do believe that she has fetish for these silly games. Its like foreplay for her and Jay 

 

Jay: the Lion King soundtrack was announced

 

Bey: Did they omit Spirit?

 

Jay: Yes

 

Bey: ooohh

She was notorious for that during the 2012-2013 Beyhydration period. You couldn't buy her songs off of iTunes for the soundtracks

I wish we knew how Ivy Park was doing.

 

It's really weird and discomforting to see all these artists become billionaires off their cash grabs, tbh. Like I feel for those in spaces that have to compete with Kardashians in EVERYTHING now. One of them just released vitamins.

 

Dystopian world tbh

[R.E.M.]

The whining and complaining is so annoying  I hope she punishes y'all by delaying the visuals that probably don't exist let's be real

An interesting concept. I also like the connection between the isolation from the movie and the isolation from the pandemic! An interesting read.
