I like the concept of this website, but the implmentation is terrible. All hypem does is leech all of the content from a selection of hand picked blogs, yet they are the ones who reap the rewards.
These hard working music blogs get virtually nothing back in return except for a slight boost in visitor numbers. Apart from searching for downloads there is no need for a vistor to the Hype Machine to visit the blogs directly.
And look who is getting all of the album exclusive streams now. Not the blogs who have to put in the hard yards to keep up with current music trends, but the website who has built a semi-decent parsing script.
How is this fair at all?
There is hardly any hate for Hypem, but I think this is because people have blindly walked into this situation without thinking about the larger ramifications.
Fuck Hypem, if you want a music blog aggregator then visit somewhere like Bloglovin' instead, and build up your own list of music blogs to frequent. Stop this bullshit monopoly.
