I'm beginning to get sick and tired of the Taiwan music
scene.
The Chinese pop music scene is replete with new artistes without
any true abilities... mostly because the companies in Taiwan are
churning them out like nobody's business. And all for one reason,
PROFITS.
I have experienced some incidents which really pissed me
off...
As most of you know, there's this trend of artistes coming up with
several editions of the same album. And a group of fans got so
angry, because they had to fork out money [mostly pocket money] to
pay for those albums. Yeah, true that it's their freedom whether
they want to buy it or not... but the record company's response to
the fans' complains were RUDE. UNFEELING. They said in an untactful
manner that the fans didn't have to buy the albums if they didn't
like it. And that it is only a marketing strategy. Well of course
this is true, but they could have put it in a nicer way.
And I just discovered that moderators of the forum of a particular
record company delete topics at their free will. If they didn't
like the contents of a particular topic, it would be deleted
without even replying as to what was wrong with the topic that
deserved removal. It's a method pretty underhand, to me. [After
all, isn't the Internet an area for free speech?]
The impression that I'm getting is that, these Taiwanese record
companies do things that are SOLELY for their BENEFIT and they
TOTALLY do NOT care about consumers' interests or whatsoever. To an
extreme extent.
Are all record companies like this? It may appear to everyone that
my words seem unfair to the record company itself. I don't know...
but I'm really pissed at their actions. Perhaps you all need to
experience what I went through and you'll understand.
