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.

Ken Hommel (@TooCloseToTheTV) reported@BackintheBronze Sent cash in for Shazam! then it was cancelled. For the two remaining issues, they sent a Super Friends and a Superman. I also got one of the many subs won in the Superman Trivia Contest. I chose Action so I would get the giant sized #500.

Boeing Directed Energy Weapon Express (@vagefjoer) reportedTerrible to have a song stuck in your head but not being able to Shazam it with your brain

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.

Péist Mhór (@BigWorm11174792) reportedShazam had no answer for blade 2. Close to infallible normally, 3 wrong answers tonight!! Just put on pulp fiction and it had no problem picking up tracks from that.
-
Atro (@Atrocitus2008) reported@roger_stev82377 Shazam would have no issues even if they all came at him at once.
-
Ziggy (@ZquadboyZ) reported@dailystarzam Retire Billy, have the Shazam mantel be passed down every couple years, because Billy staying a child ruins any semblance of a timeline. Also Shazam is a cool name
-
Anny (@AnnySan1048425) reported@HanisRashidi @joker573426 @Rigoldente79928 Down so bad with no real streaming numbers to brag about that they’re flexing Shazam searches now..like it’s the same thing as streams. 😭 They really think 400k counts as streams. Its like never even went to school😭
-
JRB (@SteelersLe) reported@AxelTalksFilm With how he made it seem like he was such a ********* Adam fan it’s sad how it turned out. He shoulda had the accent down with the hair and ears, that woulda been an acting job he would get praise for bc the dialect. Also not wanting to be against Shazam too…
-
Maxime Aubin (@MaximeAubin1) reported@RealTomPetrini I had no service so I couldn’t Shazam this one 😢
-
Christopher Marc (@_ChristopherM) reported@Niklander3 I'm kind of curious if Safran is more the problem here...the SHAZAM sequel, and the AQUAMAN movies weren't some sort of bastion of quality.

𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐄 (@SUPERB0YPRlME) reportedMy appearance in Shazam will always be worse you literally cannot do anything as terrible
-
Richy (@RichyWarbucks) reported@_JTheChef I Shazam that **** so mfs ain’t gotta turn the music down
-
:) (@marcopoloed) reportedPlayed a song and asked my roommate to guess who the artist is. Guy cheekily pulls his phone out to make it seem like he’s texting someone and i saw his hand move from the top of the screen to shazam it. Puts down his phone a few secs later of fake brainstorming he gets it right

Edward Burger (not Berger) ❤️🌈 (@edwardbrgr) reported@jay_therealdeal So? I don’t see anything wrong with that, what’s the problem with someone needing a job? Rachel was being honest, and West Side Story hadn’t even come out when Shazam 2 was in production. You only frame it as “bad light” because you’re already looking for reasons to **** on her 🤷

pengasys (@pengasys) reported@p3aced3fender2 @doubtfully_xD you cant shazam the song, not because its in arabic, but probably because its taken down from youtube and spotify.
-
Robert P. Glover (@RPGlover) reported@TheComicSource Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, following the trajectory of failure around the aged up version of the character and the publication of perhaps the worst treatment of the property with the deceptive de-age in Shazam issue 20, this Superman Unlimited arc WOULD be a hoax if the young version of Jon does not remain in current continuity. Too often, editors forget that fans are people also- customers marking tally over each and every deficient story arc, and glaring lack of competence marring canon over time. DC certainly paid no attention to sales numbers, fan feedback, Go-Fund-Me campaigns… watching the publisher fall on their face with the Jon Kent character- heck, with core Kryptonian titles, has not been “fun.”

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.

Pencil Lord (@sm0ke828) reported@R0ssb1e @Bad_____bunny99 There's nothing close about the fight. Thragg aren't even as strong or as fast as Shazam, Thragg aren't seen anything or face anything like Shazam before but Shazam has taken down people far powerful than Thragg like I said earlier they're not on the same level.

Socovermenow 💙 (@Socovermenoww) reportedWho tried to Shazam Han’s back to life on Spotify, do you have a problem too?🙏🏼

John Rocha (@TheRochaSays) reportedWhen you look at this DC movies run from Man of Steel to #Supergirl (removing the TV shows here), this is a monumentally terrible run. At some point, it's WB that's the issue here. WW, Shazam (maybe), Joker, The Batman and Superman are the only qualified successes artistically and financially. Aquaman made a billion, but it's a **** of a movie. I love Man of Steel and it turned a tidy profit, but it didn't blow up the box office. Everything else is mostly a crash and burn, a slight disappointment or a moderate success. This is a Jets or Browns team going 4-13 for the NFL season. YIKES!
-
Cultured.souls (@CulturedSouls) reported@empatheticcain It wasn’t a rights issue. DC could always call Billy Captain marvel and even did so several times in alternate universes when his name was “Shazam” They just couldn’t call his comics “Captain marvel” and Geoff Johns decided to change the name in the New 52.

lay 🤓🤓🤓🤓 (@faultinourseal) reportedi genuinely love shazam i was at a coffee shop the other day, sat down, and immediately felt the need to shazam every single song bc the playlist was ******* fire

minion maniac (@ihateweirdcreep) reported@magmortality @MyNameIsWepeeI I have a really bad auditory processing problem and unironically just figured out today that a song I’ve been enjoying when I hear it come on is not, in fact, in English. I only figured it out because I finally thought to Shazam the song because I couldn’t remember enough words to Google it myself. I was like “wait what there’s zero English” So basically I do this to the highest degree with any song in any language :)
