Recovery Simp (@recovery_simp) reportedThis COSOMA debate made me realize something… A thread 1/ While everyone is arguing about royalty payouts, I’m seeing something different. I’m seeing a system problem. And software problems are meant to be solved. 2/ If artists don’t fully trust how royalties are calculated… If the public doesn’t understand the monitoring system… If people keep asking where the numbers come from… That’s a transparency problem. Transparency is exactly what technology can improve. 3/ Imagine a platform that monitors radio and TV broadcasts in real time. Not guesses. Not spreadsheets passed around. Actual digital monitoring with an auditable trail. 4/ Imagine every song played being automatically detected using audio fingerprinting—similar to how Shazam recognizes music. Every play gets recorded. Every record has a timestamp. Every calculation can be traced. 5/ Now imagine every artist having their own dashboard. “My song played 287 times this month.” “These are the stations.” “These are the broadcasts.” “This is exactly how my royalty was calculated.” No mystery. Just data. 6/ The platform could also allow broadcasters to upload playlists digitally instead of relying only on manual submissions. Everything becomes faster. Everything becomes easier to audit. Everything becomes more transparent. 7/ And why stop there? Churches… Event organizers… Festivals… DJs… Could also submit licensed digital setlists. The more legitimate usage we capture, the fairer the royalty system becomes. 8/ This isn’t just a COSOMA solution. It’s a solution for every collective management organization across Africa that struggles with monitoring, reporting and royalty distribution. That’s a regional software market. 9/ This is the type of software Malawi can build. We don’t always have to import technology. Sometimes we should build the infrastructure ourselves. 10/ That’s why I’m putting this idea out there. I’m looking for partners who believe Malawi can build world-class technology. Investors. Government. COSOMA. Broadcasters. Let’s build it together. 11/ Imagine Malawi becoming the country that develops one of Africa’s most transparent copyright royalty systems. Not because we complained. Because we built the solution. 12/ Sometimes the biggest opportunities don’t come from asking, Why is the system like this? They come from asking, What if I built something better?

Wanderer (@Wander_0n) reported@fadotzara @TBKReturns No, I hated this universe since Superman 2025, same with the DCEU, it was terrible from the get go with horrible films like MOS and BVS, at least there were some decent movies like WW, Aquaman, and Shazam, but overall it was a terrible universe.

@iamLenoBoss (@LENO_BOSS1) reported@bekeestitches Everyone blamed Shazam, when the real problem was the writing and how the character was handled. 😭🔥 The potential was always there.

uche (@Ando_boy9090) reported@bigjozzy @tolathebaddest No na no be iPhone u dey use? Scroll down Shazam am

Reef (@Reefmetax) reported@barkmeta If anyone knows what that second to last song was, let me know. I was turning it down before I could hit Shazam

Giovanetta Marangoz 🌹 天下大乱形势大好 (@giovanettanyc) reported@meeksthoughtbub The music down here is pretty fire I'm trying to Shazam it
-
Red Ranger Chris (@RedRangerChris) reportedI'll always stand by the fact that Blue Beetle was the best DC movie of that year. Shazam and Aquaman were totally forgettable at best, and The Flash had too many issues that ultimately held it back.

Zack Straw 🇹🇩 (@_Ramifications_) reportedaccidentally added my entire Shazam history to my Apple Music library, critical error
-
BERLUSCONI (@joevannitrap) reported@SavvyRinu No mind them, they are just tensioning people up and down, my own is the song playing at the background. I just had to shazam it now and findout the title... Straight to download it.. Johnny Drille - Stars Align

Donal DeLay (@DonalTDeLay) reportedI went back & reworked Jaeger Bomb 3 times. First he was a down on his luck Luchador that gets powers to fight Kaiju after he drinks. Then it was a Shazam knock off, then it went back to the first iteration but with some lore changes to give the powers history & more purpose.

JUSTIN (@JustinMKowalski) reported@NickZednik If this is the math we are trying to math with, Levi is only one worth bringing back going by Shazam 1 performance. Anyone, burn it all down.

🍉 Damian Wayne te amo 🍉 (@FandomWasp) reported@zhang_digiden One could hope, i mean, considering to where we were before (#that Shazam Issue was last year i recall?) Their storyline is actually improving. seems like someone in the writting room aknowledges trying to break their bond is equivalent to burn money.

will you marry me cinderelly (@agapanthuslily) reportedold navy’s indie selection has genuinely been integral to my musical identity for most of my life like there was nothing like trying to write down lyrics in the fitting room so i could search them up later because i didn’t have shazam
-
Joubin (@Joubinparsapour) reported@NadrGo2 @BistThunder @drewmacwwe23 *Justice League* was not profitable; it was a financial loss. However, the studio pressed on because other films were highly profitable—*Shazam!* is a prime example: while its gross revenue appeared low, its profit margin was acceptable. Unfortunately, management issues arose,

Oliver Fit (@aipusher) reported@tomaldertweets Everyone talks about being early on a platform. Shazam was early on the problem.
-
Meimei🍦🍧 (@Billy_batshed) reported@the_xueyutanhua We should all agree that that Shazam run never existed, never happened, was never written. Not only did it do absolute **** for jon and Damian, but also it's main characters throughout every issue 😭
-
Bruh (@Returnofthebruh) reported@junglekxng3 @ReconNarwhal He's always had a huge ego, it was just at an all time high at the time (and even now) he really believed a Shazam villain could fix an already broken universe
-
𝓻𝓲𝓻𝓲 ✧🦋 (@jnkcullt) reportedGuys Shazam is not working for me like it doesn't even recognise any songs.. it's keep saying try again but it's not working
-
Oye Superstar (@Oyesuperstar) reportedBro. Just me. Running down the street. Dancing to a song Shazam couldn't even find.
-
real cozy guy (@lvbs) reportedbefore shazam, i used to find songs i heard by writing down wtvr lyrics i could make out, go home and google them to find the song. now when you search lyrics, the ai guess machine will tell you six irrelevant things and the song still won’t appear in the search results
-
Canyons. (@CanhNguyenSuy) reported@PsychoJX The cover of the issue is kinda misleading bruh 😭🙏 Superman isn't aura farming here. He got his *** beaten by King Shazam so bad instead
-
Mush - Super Sonic Summer of Scares (@MushHog) reported@parkerslawyer I won’t deny Diana is in need of content, but this is a terrible argument to make when Booster Gold has nothing to his name compared to Diana carrying a previous universe with Aquaman and Shazam, pretending Superman doesn’t exist outside of false promises with cameos.
-
SYNNRG (@synnrg_) reported@GunntArchive Shazam had a terrible script and writing tho, this film series relied upon Zachary Levi"s acting way too much
-
chavis (@Untamed_Boi) reportedChasing a car down to Shazam the name of a Chris brown song the car is playing is insane
-
BigE 🌴 (@_enoch_eze_) reported@esosaleonard @farbulou One of my major problems with DC and Superman is their inconsistency with him. Magic has been stated a long time a ago to be one of Superman's major weaknesses. Him beating Shazam didn't make sense That bother is not beating Doom
-
Eric S.w.a.n.SUN (@LuckyTPUB) reported@Duranous @EthanVanSciver The Beetle movie was sadly positioned at the switch over and it really was not terrible. Same with the Shazam flicks. Some of the better ones of that era. Maybe its AI but from what I understand this is who should be appearing in the next Superman movie
