I was not moved (keeping in mind, Jay-Z&#8217;s Empire State of Mind is one of my favourite tunes).<\/p>\n<p>So Taylor Swift has done before too. One of the reasons why I have subscribed to Apple Music was to listen to her music when she pulled out of Spotify. While this has changed, I have never bothered to change my streaming music service of choice.<\/p>\n<p>It occured to me that these folk only do this to get in the news. It is free advertising, via &#8220;earned media&#8221;. I generally don&#8217;t read music reviews in the papers that I subscribe to, but if it makes the main pages, it is quite hard to skip over.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"3440\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/archives\/2018\/06\/27\/beyonce-jay-z-streaming-music-and-earned-media\/img_1320-jpg\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_1320.jpg?fit=1668%2C1544&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1668,1544\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_1320.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_1320.jpg?fit=300%2C278&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_1320.jpg?fit=1024%2C948&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_1320.jpg?resize=1668%2C1544\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3440\" height=\"1544\" width=\"1668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_1320.jpg?w=1668&amp;ssl=1 1668w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_1320.jpg?resize=300%2C278&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_1320.jpg?resize=768%2C711&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_1320.jpg?resize=1024%2C948&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Beyonc%C3%83%C2%A9%2C%20Jay-Z%2C%20streaming%20music%20and%20earned%20media&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2018%2F06%2F27%2Fbeyonce-jay-z-streaming-music-and-earned-media&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
