TIDAL — WTF ARE YOU DOING?

It's one thing when businesses fail, it's another when continual losses of concept hit icebergs harder than the Titanic … over, and over, and over and …

From Jay Z Twitter tantrums to top figures ghosting out of it without saying goodbye, TIDAL has had a rough run. Yesterday, another brain-fart from whatever employee caused Rihanna's highly anticipated Anti album to be uploaded to its servers, with quick-fingered Internet users there to pirate and leak the shit out of it for the world to dissect and enjoy before the official release date of 1/29. If you want, you can sign up for TIDAL's services to hear the entire album (forced to drop a few days early), or, you know, wait until tomorrow when it will be everywhere.

Let's get this straight, however, because any time an artist has their shit taken without permission and given to others is a world of shade — it doesn't matter how much you dislike artists like Rihanna or Madonna (who had the same type of thing happen to her Rebel Heart album). These are arguably hard working individuals creating entertainment for the public, and to ruin that because of whatever god-complex some wannabe hacker has inside of them is garbage. From pushed dates to production issues, Rihanna presumably worked her ass off to create something semi-sincere, and stealing it is petty playground drama meant for the birds.

BUT TIDAL — WTF ARE YOU DOING? You demand that users pay comparably an exorbitant amount of money ($20 a month vs. $9.99) for a "better quality audio" that the general population can't even physically hear, and then try to shit on other streaming sites that have a grasp on the culture, even overcharging people while forcing them to go back and re-de-activate their accounts to avoid being charged further?

At this point, TIDAL taking all of these Ls is just comical …
