OG 🍒 (@ogchkwnws) reportedShazam is on leave at Sunday Service rn

KIRAN KUMAR (@kd83kiran) reported@james88982622 Why wasn’t it allowed in the first place, why didn’t AQUAMAN, Wonder Woman or Shazam didn’t face that specific problem. It’s because his movies are the problem. Even at full creative control director cuts exist for his rebel moon movies.

TBPN (@tbpn) reportedShazam Founder @Inghelbrecht says Shazam should never have existed. To build the company in 2000, the team had to digitize one of the world’s largest music libraries before streaming existed. They had to invent music recognition technology from scratch and physically build the computing infrastructure needed to run it before companies like Google Cloud and AWS were around. They also had to convince mobile carriers to support a product category nobody had ever seen before. Inghelbrecht says even if each of those problems only had a 10% chance of working, the odds of Shazam surviving were practically zero.

Joseph Mora (@PapiNCali) reported@TaroPh59854 @MadonnaUltimate That sounds dramatic, but it does not really hold up from a music industry standpoint. Nobody needs an organized scheme to make a record underperform. The market does that all by itself. Streaming, radio callout, playlist retention, repeat listening, TikTok traction, Shazam activity, sales stability, and week-two drops tell the story. If a song connects, it holds. If it does not, no amount of “they are trying to erase her legacy” explains the public not coming back to the track. Madonna’s legacy is not being erased. Her legacy is already written. The issue is that some fans confuse legacy with current demand. She can be the Queen of Pop historically and still have a single that does not perform like a major hit in 2026. Those two things can exist at the same time. And honestly, blaming invisible “people hungry for the Queen title” feels like a distraction from the actual rollout. If the song had smashed, nobody would be talking about conspiracies. They would be posting chart receipts. But when you have label investment, Sabrina Carpenter attached, Coachella-adjacent hype, The Abbey, Grindr promo, listening parties, and still the numbers do not match the noise, that is not a takedown campaign. That is a rollout failing to convert attention into consumption. The music business is not sentimental. It does not care how iconic you are. It cares whether people stream the song again tomorrow. Madonna is not being erased. She is being measured. And that is what some fans cannot handle.

Erik Haile (@Erik_Haile) reported@Goldenfoxx @AndresTarango Same issue I have with some of my Flash merchandise. Lots of people mistaking it for BBT merch, or Shazam/Captain Marvel merch.
-
fiction denier 🇵🇸 (@badpunname) reported@Adsnewaccount @archrxz @CQuill97 Also Black Adam (I'm assuming that's the third Shazam movie?) was in pre-production for like a decade before it got made. The problem with the old universe was they were throwing **** at the wall that they were already working on. Gunn stopped everything and started from scratch.

SAFI / Mia(sma) (@mia_saneart) reported@NeilGrassTycon @xenvuen the account is GONE i can't even look that up to find it. shazam is not working. thump my life
-
Quako’s Shut (@nicholaski) reportedShazam might be the only app that solves an actual problem people ever developed but Instagram allowing you to add music to your Spotify liked songs without switching apps is right up there too

kait (@kaituhhh) reportedalmost 2 years ago, someone walking by was trying to shazam beat up chanels as i was listening to it first time w my windows down at a red light

Oddy23 (@MandelbrotEater) reported@VelaIka009 @clownvoid Problem is more often than not Shazam is not working
-
who, me? 🦉 (@mymanbpostin) reported@ghtljs @EricFarenheit When the options are "Captain Marvel" (fine but too associated with Marvel comics), "Shazam" (good for branding but terrible as an in-universe name), and "The Captain" (What was Waid thinking. What was the plan here.) then yeah, Captain Thunder seems like the obvious best one.

Joe Mish (@JoeMish3) reportedThat's why SS made 746m without China right afterwards and then WW made 823 million right afterwards right? And even after the trainwreck the execs made Aquaman made a billion,but BvS derailed the franchise right? The problems start with Shazam You disingenuous piece of ****

Saint Sam J. of IU Indy (@winatTheJim) reported@Bunny_ngl Order burgers and -Shazam- the amount you tip goes down

-
John Hyde (@The_DrJ3ckyll) reported@seattletimes @Widgetreine7 If you don’t investigate to find any issues Shazam there are no issues. In the same vain you can argue the same about legally purchased firearms and conceal and carry individuals. The left has no problem imposing even more draconian regulations for firearm purchases and ownership that are far above even these changes suggested for voting.

bori | IT'S PRIME TIME!!! (@bori___cha) reported@MILFMlLK source wall yes. I forgor abt that ngl (it happens after the green cube) but the monsterlands... uncertain. death metal almost entirely decanonizes his shazam issues bc it acts as if he just got out of the source wall but honestly who freakin knows
-
Jerry Berry🫐🍇🍓 (@slvttyberry) reportedShazam not working at Ben Sterling … Set is heating up
-
MotoNeko (@MotoNeko1) reported@RoyalMaj3sty Martian Manhunter has the same problem as Wonderwoman, he debuted in Justice League. Aquaman same but this one has a different appearence. I vote 100% on Zatanna. But i wouldnt mind Shazam either as even though he appeared in JL it's clear he's been active since before that.
-
ERIS Queen of CHAOS (@ERIS4ThePEOPLE) reportedI haven’t been to the theater in years now not since they stuck in that stupid useless scene in the second Shazam that didn’t fit about some kids saying oh yeah by the way, I’m gay that was it. I’m tired of people, shoving their **** down my face.
-
keldog (@keldog4) reported@EthicalSkeptic @JohnPlatner I started w/ google, gave them all the info. they wanted. Tried a few times through them and I failed. Then used Woo..2 single orders (myself and brother-in-law). Then Shazam sent a fraud alert and mentioned Milton, Georgia and ******/dating service? I have windows 10 computers

EvoTwinz (@evotwinz) reportedSHAZAM NOT WORKING! Internet do yall thing !

dELUsional (@Elutrixx) reported@hawolt I mean I understand the frustration, but as a fan and coder myself: I was more impressed by the custom shazam while at the same time thinking "yeah but im never gonna need this" I watch twitch a lot so the adblock did directly solve a problem i had
-
~X~ (xgrrrl1) (@jnsqxgrrrl1) reported@RaminNasibov @TheBookofG1nk0 I downloaded Merlin but it will absolutely not work unless you give location permissions which is not cool. I mean it listens through mic AND tracks location. Privacy issue. Someone needs to invent a competitor that makes it optional! Bird Shazam on demand w/ manual loc data

Greek mfer (@BROimGreeK) reported@tiktok_us how about you make it so we can hold down somewhere on the video to find what song is playing. Use @Shazam. All I ask is one payment of 100k

Julie Barrett (@juliecbarrett) reportedLast week Idaho Governor Brad Little signed HB 542, Stop Harms from Addictive Social Media Act (SHASM - ADF calls is “Shazam!! 💥”) While the bill seems to have good intentions, it’s impossible to implement without universal age verification - handing MORE data of children to Big Tech - and constant behavioral monitoring of children online. This “solution” will undoubtedly make the problem worse. Additionally, it is the opposite of “parental empowerment”, forcing a government mandate on every family.

Joseph Adorno (@ComicBookRehab) reported@ForLangley @WizardsComics And the debacle itself all came down to an appalling amount of bad communication/misinformation/lack of representation, whether intended or unintended, since Mick Anglo was still alive, although once the character Marvelman, it was like, "Oh...British Captain Marvel/Shazam.."
