    Genius idea:
    1. Take a 5 minute song and split it up into 10 parts, 30 seconds each.
    2. Make an album out of the parts in the right order.
    3. 10x revenue.

      Why? Stuff like this has been going on for decades. As technology improves, people find a way to monetize it, often by making music shorter & easier to replay. When the 45" record was made, it allowed artists to put out short, easily re-playable "singles", usually of their more popular tracks. As tapes and CDs became mainstream, we saw the rise of "radio edits", where songs got shortened so they could fit more plays in an hour. Streaming is the new(ish) wave, people are still adjusting.

    I heard a few songs on Spotify that start with a snippet of the chorus even before the intro. Made me think of the technique of making sure people listen to the first 30 seconds of the track without skipping. “SMIB - Pink hair shawty” for example. But that might me more similar to the idea of catching someones attention in the first six seconds of internet audio/video. It’s a way to get the listeners/viewers hyped up as fast as possible, to make sure they don’t immediately skip.

      Alleen het nadeel bij Jacin is dat hij bij lange na geen tour uitverkoopt. Ik zelf denk dat dit wel in verband staat met de wat kortere nummers die hij schrijft. Door de kortere nummers zie je dat mensen zich minder verbinden met zijn nummers. Want als je kijkt naar Snelle die ook net komt kijken in de rap scène zie je hem wel een tour uitverkopen in no time. Hij heeft wel die 3minuten i.p.v. die 2minuten als Jacin.

    @ghost_in_the_system 3 роки тому +1

    One interesting effect of this system I've noticed is on the They Might Be Giants song "Fingertips". It's basically a song of songs, packing 21 short songs into the ~5 minutes of the track's runtime. Now, on the original release of the album, due to shuffle being the hot new feature of the time, all 21 songs were separate tracks. It was also that way on Apple Music originally, but somewhat recently it was changed to only have the combined version, and I bet this monetization stuff is why (since I assume Apple Music doesn't want to be paying 21x the normal rate)

    I kind of hate the whole 'white saviour' narrative that kinda played out, Billboard prevented a black rapper from getting into the country chart, but the moment Billy Ray Cyrus comes on the track, it's 'Nah, it's okay, he's with me' and now the song has reached this status of prestige all of a sudden for reaching some arbitrary requirement of 'being country'. I like the little story of success Lil Nas X has going on, but the fact Billboard kicked out his track for a vague reason 'not having any country elements' feels like a sham to me. Great video, Alfo! Totally agree, the song needs one more chorus.
    Also fun fact: the banjo which is synonymous with country music is actually an instrument from the Caribbean which was used by people of the Caribbean. It's mostly associated with African traditional music but you know, slavery happened and the banjo was reappropriated by colonists. Adam Neely talks about it in one of his videos.

    Cool video. You're on to something here. I noticed this when XO Tour Llif3 (3:03) came out. Every time I put it on, I had to listen to it a few times to get my fill. Made me wonder if it was done on purpose to generate more streams. Seems like many hit songs are getting shorter for this reason.

      Owolabby Azeez racism ends when people stop talking about racism, including saying “this will end racism” every time a black person does a “white” thing or a white person does a “black” thing.
      You keep it alive by saying it will end it, you plant the seed of racism in the minds of those who don’t pay attention to race.
      The only way to stop racism is to stop talking about it altogether, both the positive progress and the negative aspects.

      3alarm247 slavery is over but black people still act like they’re victims in society. Let’s face it racism is dead the issue is that people keep talking about it which keeps it alive.
      It’s like the news, the more liberal media talks about how Justin Trudeau is innocent the more people tune in to the issue and realize he’s a fraud, so the opposite of their goal is achieved.

    That view-to-watch-time switch is exactly what UA-cam did back in the day when Google bought them, basically under the logic that "more time on the website is more valuable than the number of videos clicked." Totally changed the game of content created for the site, i.e the rise of the Let's Play. Based on the theory that you laid out, don't see it having the same motivation/effect. Interesting parallel though. You freaking lunatic.
