Well doesn't that prove the hypocrisy I mentioned even further? There was so much chatter about her not posting enough, not using her social media enough to promote, and now she's "spamming" because she will separate posts per look and post all at the same moment?

 

I know a happy medium is possible: posting at the right time, when its needed, when it can help, not all at once and whenever she feels like it, but largely it feels like we're so used to nitpicking Beyoncé that we're even nitpicking how many posts she should make in a night. Meanwhile, she's posted many times at once for a long while. It's not a new thing, nor is it even that much of an issue. It seems silly to complain about.

 

 

Not everything we talk about has to be a paramount issue. I don't really nitpick her, so I don't see the hypocrisy, either. I work in this field so little things like that do bug me.

 

But different strokes for different folks.

Nerves? We back to birthday blog and album ranking times 

I know there's a 99% chance of that dd but we'll still be perched. Once the tour's over, we're in uncharted territory. What will come next? Visuals? Act II? More hints and game-playing like in June 2022? Surgery on the other foot and six months of silence? Anything could happen.

 

Spoiler

Nothing will tho

I really could see her taking eight months off (out of the public eye, at least, she'll still be working) and coming back next summer.

Last time we were in uncharted territory it lasted for months. She'd better gives us something before the tour ends...

why wait let’s rank her wigs from the trailer now 

 

i need to know which songs uses the bob with the blue background and black latex top so bad

that’s literally what i’m saying  

sure, but my point is just that it's not an issue. There's something to be said for this being basically the first fashion-show-tour and for letting her followers know in great detail just how many costumes go into it. Condensing it into a single post per night means it's a condensed look at the RWT fashion.

I also work (adjacent) to social media, and understand why it might be better to post less and/or space them out, but then again, also feel like the "post drop" strategy is very Beyoncé and allows people to consume a lot at once. I generally dislike the whole "rules" of social media, that you need to do THIS or have to do THAT in order for best engagement. It takes some of the spontaneity away. Seeing her drop three posts after my show at like 1AM was so amazing, it felt like she was herself sitting back and reminiscing about the show just as I was (even though that's probably not the case at all). And I know this is not always how the posts are dropped but, I duno, I'd rather her post as she wants and give us more than doing whatever to maximize a stat no one will ever talk about or praise her for (likes), unless it's record-setting.

Does anyone have the most recent U.S. sales stats for all her albums?

 

On the topic of likes, it's crazy to me that the RENAISSANCE album cover drop post with a caption has as many likes as her caption-less Gold-Party D&G look (imo the ugly gold version of the 2007 BET red carpet look).

 

And the British Vogue cover has just over half the likes of either, and that was the FIRST, SURPRISE glimpse into the era.

 

Simply put, it seems people are just going to like whatever they like, and maybe it has to do with time of day and if she posted anything after or not and when she last posted and what she is wearing and whether it has a caption but at the end of the day Beyoncé isn't trying to sell us anything through her IG. I doubt her team has an engagement quota to hit. She's simply documenting her life and work mainly through fashion.

I'm ready for whatever is next

She can definitely improve her IG and it wont take much effort to do that. That is a constructive criticism, but of course Kiss Ass Hive will try to spin it into something else. Beyoncé doing something she already does better benefits everyone so I don’t understand why some of you are against it.

 

Same crap with the ballads discourse. Bey performing new songs mean you as a fan get to experience more of her artistry but god forbid someone suggests she replaces I Care with another song

You can refer to me (or others) as "Kiss Ass Hive" all you want but that doesn't mean we aren't allowed to also share our takes on the same topics.

 

Constructive criticism is completely valid, but so often in this base that is not how it is presented. It usually comes with a complaint, a sassy remark and perhaps a bit of a lie forged to attempt to prove a point. None of this constitutes constructive criticism, with "constructive" implying there is something good that could come from it. Here, the base often gets in a tizzy with little to no result. There's a huge difference between suggesting and complaining, which is not constructive.

Honestly she doesn't care about engagement or likes. She's just posting her looks.

!! Y’all are whining in here about instagram and other pointless **** just like the pointless whining about how her shows weren’t sold out on day 1 and yet another date atrlhive swore was gonna be a bomb was sold out 

 

you guys worry abt the wrong things

anyway, after all these acts are released, and maybe even later into her career if needed, I'd still love her to put out a remix-album greatest hits where every song is turned on its head into a new sound (like CUFF IT / WETTER REMIX), and then make it a double disc with remixes on side A and originals on side B for maximal streams lol.

 

Let's all calm down and enjoy this updated masterpiece! Let's shoo away the imaginary fly together!

Will the weekend end up surpassing Bey since he is extending his tour? 

"Gay rights!"

most of them don’t care about the costumes they’d rather see her eat a slice of pizza or post pictures with blue 

 

that’s for hardcore stans and even then, half of us don’t care about the new outfits anymore, that was "exciting" 3 months ago (especially with the quality of most of them going down) 

 

i’ve been team surprise songs every night over clunky, ugly costumes since day one for a reason

I see we are in here about to tear our weaves out over IG posts due to Bey-sual Dehydration...
