Shazam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Miles (@mtvsthewrld_) reportedSeen somebody driving next to me put the window down to Shazam what I was listening to and I paused the song #Hater
-
ankle (@ankleknuckle) reported@DIRTBAGCLOWN @EXCELSIORSPEAKS really the titans are the bigger issue imo. unnecessary to have damian as a second robin, and having ALL of starfire, cyborg, raven, and zatanna is indulgent in a roster without like, the flash or shazam or supergirl
-
Chad Bricker (@SincerelyCmbric) reportedDear @FOXTV Beat Shazam hands down deserves a “ No Mouse Left Behind “ Cheesy Award. 🧀 🐁 🧀 🐁 🧀 🐁 Congratulations.
-
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
-
JOHN 🍿 🇺🇸 (@Tmbenedict) reported@bekeestitches The problem wasn’t Shazam… it was forcing a pure joy character into a universe that only wanted grimdark and corporate synergy.
-
@iamLenoBoss (@LENO_BOSS1) reportedEveryone blamed Shazam, when the real problem was the writing and how the character was handled. 😭🔥 The potential was always there.
-
BNY (@bnyvlts15) reported@restoreZSJL It’s quite unfortunate that they were shut down Shazam and black Adam gone 😭
-
Oye Superstar (@Oyesuperstar) reportedBro. Just me. Running down the street. Dancing to a song Shazam couldn't even find.
-
Tyme machine 420 (@TymeM10638) reported@PghPublicSafety The city of coincidence. Lets look to our past. They wanted a new stadium to replace 3 rivers. Coincidentally, a wall mysteriously falls during a game. Fake prez Joe Biden came in to town to talk about decaying bridges...Shazam.. Frick park bridge comes down same day. Now 🤔
-
Six (@SixSh00tHer) reported@absolute_verse I swear that’s the only reason they named it that so people thought it would be like the comic, my only issue with a KO fighting game is 32 is a giant roster for a fighting game and there’s only like Shazam and Mxy you could do as DLC from the comic
-
IsleofPigsStudios (Brand New Day Hype!) (@IsleofPigStudio) reported@C_JuniorsMagic I admit I'm guilty of rambling about bad quality control, but it's not like we haven't had these errors before. I remember getting a DC Minis pack with 2 Firestorm Flynns and no Shazam Arry. And I have a Robo Toby misprint. These things happen.
-
Sully (@ICSully) reported@YagoRochaAlvz "He took down the Snyderverse" Outperformed both Shazam movies, Flash and Wonder Woman 2 and was the better movie.
-
RickSeal (@Justrelaxabitt) reported@donovanmartin5 At this point I dont believe snyder will be back. Sure I preferred his style and tone. But that doesnt mean i can pretend this DCU stuff is interesting. Superman was entertaining but it still felt very cookie cutter and safe to appease all the old complaints. All these suit designs are just awful too. Supergirls box office is also telling that the dcus problems are abit more larger than a vocal minority. I dont know what the answer is for DC but I do know judging by everything since Birds of prey, shazam 2, ww84 that they need to ditch the action comedy feel good "family" stuff. Avatar is a great example of what the tone should be. Families watch avatar. They dont need to make everything "light hearted" for a family to watch it.

Recovery Simp (@recovery_simp) reportedCOSOMA’s Blank Media Levy A THREAD 1/ Everybody is arguing about COSOMA payouts, but most people don’t even know what the Blank Media Levy actually is. Some think it’s government tax. Some think it’s Spotify money. Some think COSOMA just wakes up and chooses who to pay. None of that is true. So let’s break it down. 2/ Imagine you make a song. Thousands of people save it on their phones, laptops, memory cards and flash drives. Even if they don’t sell your music, they’re still making copies of it. Now imagine trying to ask every single person to pay you. Impossible, right? 3/ That’s why copyright law created the Blank Media Levy. Instead of chasing millions of people who copy music for personal use, a small levy is collected whenever devices that can store copyrighted content are imported into Malawi. That money goes into one big pool for creators. 4/ The devices include: • Phones • Laptops • Tablets • Flash drives • Hard drives • Memory cards • CDs & DVDs Basically, anything people use to store music, movies or books. 5/ So who collects this money? MRA. Think of MRA as the cashier. When importers bring these products into Malawi, MRA collects the Blank Media Levy together with other applicable charges. It then remits the money to COSOMA. MRA doesn’t decide who gets paid. 6/ Now COSOMA has one big pot of money. Thousands of musicians, filmmakers, writers and other creators are waiting for a share. So… How does COSOMA decide who gets what? 7/ Most people think it’s based on popularity. It isn’t. COSOMA isn’t supposed to ask: “Who’s the biggest artist?” It’s supposed to ask: “Whose copyrighted work was used the most according to the data available?” 8/ Think of two students. One is the most popular kid in school. The other has perfect attendance. Those aren’t always the same person. Royalties work the same way. Popularity and measured usage are not always the same thing. 9/ So how does COSOMA measure usage? Through a monitoring system. Think of it like a football referee. The referee doesn’t guess who scored. He keeps score throughout the game. 10/ Radio stations and TV stations keep playlists and broadcast logs showing every song they play. COSOMA collects that information and uses it to estimate how often songs were broadcast. The more qualifying plays your music gets, the bigger your potential share. 11/ Many copyright societies around the world also use music recognition technology (similar to Shazam) to automatically identify songs played on radio and TV. COSOMA has said it uses monitoring and broadcast data, although it hasn’t publicly explained every technical detail of its system. 12/ Imagine the monitoring results look like this: Artist A — 1,000 plays Artist B — 700 plays Artist C — 300 plays If royalties are shared using that data, Artist A gets a bigger slice than Artist C. Simple. 13/ Now here’s where the debate begins. People ask: “What about churches?” “What about weddings?” “What about crusades?” “What about minibuses blasting gospel all day?” If those uses aren’t captured in the monitoring data, they may not significantly affect the payout. 14/ People ask the same questions about: • YouTube • Spotify • TikTok • Facebook Those don’t automatically count towards Blank Media Levy distributions because they involve different rights and different royalty systems. 15/ This is why an artist can have millions of views… Fill stadiums… Trend every week… …and still receive a royalty payment that surprises everyone. Because popularity isn’t automatically the same as documented copyright use. 16/ So why do some artists receive millions while others receive much less? Generally because of: • More qualifying radio & TV airplay • More licensed public performances • Proper registration of their works • Their ownership share of the copyright Not simply because they’re more famous.

Jason Quinteros (@JQuinteros63) reported@BrownBastard90 @sonyabladesbf Comics & games & DCTV was doing fine at the time. Most DCEU movies post-Aquaman 1 were doing terrible and that’s on BVS? What about Shazam or Birds of Prey?

James (@jamescoder12) reported85% of Google Pixel owners use their phone for the same 5 things every Android phone does. Calls. Texts. Camera. Chrome. Gmail. That's a phone with 15+ exclusive features features Samsung doesn't have, features iPhone doesn't have, features no other Android phone on earth can run being used like a $200 budget phone. Your Pixel answers spam calls for you before you pick up. It identifies every song playing around you on your lock screen, without Shazam, without internet. It erases people from photos. It swaps faces in group shots. It holds your place in customer service queues so you don't have to. Google buried these features behind menus, toggles, and settings nobody opens after setup day. A Pixel product reviewer who's tested 30+ smartphones in 2026 told me: "Pixel isn't the fastest phone. It isn't the most powerful. But it has more genuinely useful exclusive software features than any phone I've tested iPhone included. The problem is Google markets the hardware and forgets to tell anyone about the software." Here are 11 Pixel-exclusive features most owners have never turned on 🧵

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.
-
Marco Almeida (@MarcoAlmeidaPT) reportedCar stereo playing a song on the radio. iPhone connected via CarPlay. Opening Shazam or Apple’s own “recognize music” tool immediately shuts down the radio. I know taking over the car stereo audio when the microphone is activated is the standard behavior, but it’s kind of stupid in this scenario, right?
-
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.
-
******** and Seven Inches Ago (@redrummarts) reportedGoing through a box of old comics and seeing a bunch of random Superman and Shazam issues I never read before and it turns out my dad used to get them Huh
-
Renier (@Renier72951774) reported@CityPowerJhb I would say turn on the lights maybe you will find the problem on block 11 and the 20 units thats off... Shazam us now come uncle. My dog is dont like the darkness..
-
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
-
Fluffy ☕ (@Fluffy_tampons) reported@garaa_arc None of that happened 😭 nobody liked the movie, it was a really bad movie! Like genuinely one of the worse superhero movies I've seen, and the issue was he thought he was too good to face off Shazam so he tried to face off superman...which made no sense and went nowhere
-
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
-
King Emmanuel (@Obanuell) reported@bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. The real issue was everyone underestimating what he could become and how much power he actually carried. They judged the kid instead of understanding the hero.
-
Zack Straw 🇹🇩 (@_Ramifications_) reportedaccidentally added my entire Shazam history to my Apple Music library, critical error

AliceinOH (@MaliceinOH) reported@AndrewC62983550 @GBNEWS Sounds good until a MP is forced to step down so they can install Burnham, then Shazam he's PM in months!
