Donations help me finance my life and this work here, which I am doing for free.
Rather than buying some stupid music and BTS merch, if you would donate even 1% of it here on the page and include my username - "boti" - I receive the full payment after the merchant fees have been deducted.
Even writing one post takes time and more detailed subjects, such as BigHit financial reports took me months to complete.
This isn't just BTS related, this is all my knowledge after being in this business for a looooong long time. Enough to recognize patterns, lies fed to the public, the meaning of a stock going up or down, or things like you thinking that by streaming Jungkook\s album you are helping him - you are only helping Bang, Scooter, and the rest of the criminals.
Jungkook doesn\t own shit of the music.
People don't make money by selling music.
This is how copyrighting fees work> you get money for : composer, video, audio, performer. So you get 4 times a fee.
Then you get copyrights, sometimes even 2EUR per a few seconds (usually 20-30( of a song featured/played anywhere in the stores, or radio.
Additional big fees apply if this is a top radio show, the hour, time of the day. Of course, streaming Jungkok at 6 AM in the morning on a radio station won't get as much copyright, as streaming it during high hours, traffic intensity, and big audience number.
The same applies to performances.
Let's say Jungkook would have had the balls to have a normal contract and stand by what he himself believes to be "important status".
He would have gotten paid maybe a fee over 250,000 USD to perform at Times Square, his latest performance. I estimate.
He would have made since then at least 1,5 million just from the copyrights and image fee.
Nearly 2 mil for nothing.
But no. All the money goes into Bang and Scooter pockets.
BECAUSE OF YOU.
You wouldn't help someone like me, a failed musician, to keep exposing and writing about what goes on in the music industry, but you pay to see BTS content...Even if you are all 16 years old, you should know better, than be fooled like this.
