Is this money laundry or he sees a potential I'm too dumb/poor to get?

lmao look below

2 ppl think the same thing. we must be right

[vintage_boom]

there's potential here. integrating something like square into a streaming platform could greatly benefit the artists and make it easier for fans to pay for exclusives or merch or tickets to livestreams within the app itself. Square gets to tack on a fee to each purchase.

Now they just have to get more people to actually use TIDAL.

I see, makes sense. Thank you.

(this is why I'm poor)

[kellyhell]

do enough people still use Tidal (did people EVER use Tidal?) to make it worth almost $300m? I pay for a service that allows me to get the hifi Tidal for $5 a month and I still pay $10 for Spotify instead, lol.

I used Tidal once (1) to download ANTI, lmao.

I use it, but we have a high end sound system that makes paying for the hi-fi worth it.

I only ever tried the free trial(also used WiMp before Tidal bought it).

Spotify is enough for. Also, have Apple Music now since I received a voucher to use it for free but honestly often even forget I can use it. lol
