Tiktok is about content creation not music streaming, when you take away some songs people will find another song to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling their music will definitely hurt them. They would not have had their recent hits without the vitality on TikTok (which happens from allowing their music and not taking down audios due to copywriting) Drake does not need Tik Tok lmaoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a significant lapse in judgement on their part. Someone’s getting fired in a few weeks’ time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VerdantHue Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I’m in favor of this decision. Pay musicians. They do not want free promo they want a check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare to be on the record label's side, but in this case, they're the ones actually paying the musicians. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROPICUM Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 in some ways this means they'll have to actually help out their smaller artists with promo now and not only order them to **** out 20 TikToks a day and hope one of them goes viral plus this opens doors for indie/smaller labels artists to be discovered by the GP honestly this kinda slays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
