  @roger_stev82377 I'm not the biggest comic reader, but one thing I've grown to learn is that if you're semi popular enough, you're bound to get a stupid broken feat. So I feel safe in assuming that Shazam has, during his run, done some bullshit for him to beat Thragg

  @CambsCops Why hasn't Shazam Choudhary been arrested for this Anti-Semitic advert? Why aren't the Police nationwide investigating @TheGreenParty for Anti-Semitism? It's time this party was SHUT DOWN!😡

  distrokid stays robbing me 99¢ per track. In the past I only added the shazam discovery to my tracks and ever since apple music bought shazam and make it essentially free to have your songs on shazam if they’re on apple music so to keep that charge valid they have it register with nielsen sounds can and all that ****, which is now called Luminate long story short they by it no right to collect money for a service they don’t provide anymore. i didn’t ask to have my **** on neilson soundscan/luminate, i added the discovery for shazam when that was the only service offered in the discovery pack. @DistroKid you should automatically stop charging for any 99¢/track discovery pack bought before apple bought shazam. or at the very least notify people that shazam is free but they can either continue the discovery w neilson or opt tracks out of that discovery system. ESPECIALLY when i never gave you the rights to have my data on soundscan for those old songs when soundscan registration wasn’t in the discovery pack. you have no right at all that’s like if you had a meal prep delivery company deciding to start sending you **** that’s NOT good and keeping your subscription alive in bad faith because it’s just the same company deluging SOME service

  4. Visual Intelligence point at anything, know everything. Press and hold the Camera Control button. Point your camera at anything. A plant: species identification and care instructions. A restaurant: reviews, hours, and menu. A sign in another language: instant translation. A product: price comparison and purchase links. A dog: breed identification. A building: historical information and architecture details. A math equation: solved. A business card: contact saved automatically. A food dish: calorie and nutrition estimate. This is Google Lens + ChatGPT + Shazam in one gesture. Built into the camera. No app needed. No typing. It also works on photos already in your Camera Roll. Open a screenshot. Activate Visual Intelligence. It reads and responds to whatever's in the image. Most owners have never held the Camera Control button for 2 seconds. The entire AI visual engine sits behind a long press nobody tries.

  @Ayeloja0 You people will just sit down and hype rubbish Seyi dey pack quantity over quality, that’s why his songs don’t have replay value why do you think people still dey go back and vibe to all Asake old albums till today? Who still dey remember Shazam or Instagram today lol

  Car 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?

  @DCUAlert Batman. He would be a terrible casting choice for Shazam and Zachary Levi is already killing it as Shazam

  @VesselorConnor @empatheticcain Cancelled after 15 issues. The book was a direct continuation of the curse of Shazam, which Johns just finishing being an executive producer for the movie. So it really seems like Johns was fully onboard with that version of the character to me.

  @DeathMetalV Maybe because too many of a certain kind of person were raised on reading science fiction where any inconvenient plot problem can be solved by simply making something up that's never existed before. Shazam! Problem solved!

  @RandyS0725 @fentyheffa Roy Thomas was going to tie him into the Shazam continuity. I wonder if there are rights issues? Although I know he's appeared in some animated stuff since then.

  @ri_neb LandR is pretty decent in my opinion here is pros and cons: pro: They give you shazam, contentID for free Cover licenses are a one time payout If you stop paying your subscription they won't take down your songs, but take a 15% cur from your revenue Support team are humans only and no useless chat bot cons: Because they dont use AI in their systems they have a manual QC team that needs to look through your release and manually approve which takes some business days If you're making a remix they need documentation for rights of sample usage which takes even more days to process They dont support label plans and is generally for solo artists so if you were planning a "Various Artist" release it is usually meant for 1-3 artists per release Hope this helps

  @JovanHoward13 Crazy thing though for DC (and any superhero franchise for that matter), anyone can be casted for whatever role. I love The Rock, but he forgot he doesn't own that character like that. If they fix Shazam down the line, then so be it. I'll probs be in my 70s by then lol

  @UltraBiasedFan But Black Adam was also terrible, like most of their films at the time. Shazam 2, Aquaman 2.

  @Blu_lulululu @iansmith06 @benardonhard Brother the same people handling the dcu rn have been in DC since 2021 making all those terrible movies like flash, aquaman 2, birds of prey, Shazam 2. James Gunn, Peter Saran, Christina, Andy mushetti. All these people made trash dceu movies before the reboot and stayed after.

  @WkndatBurnies @MikeWill_0 That’s the problem you really can’t have Black Adam story without Shazam unfortunately

  John Rocha (@TheRochaSays) reported 49 minutes ago

  When 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!

  @p3aced3fender2 @doubtfully_xD you cant shazam the song, not because its in arabic, but probably because its taken down from youtube and spotify.

  @PlayBkPlay @nikomoon I had the terrible misfortune of hearing Beach Cowboy in a Target the other day. I couldn’t believe how awful it was, and I had to Shazam it to hear who was responsible for such a musical travesty. Seriously, this is why country music gets a bad rap. Complete garbage.

  @jayjjalen I know the plots with his own villains are already so much better than king Shazam or the Ras plot. Like his parasite 2 issue was even better.

  Recovery Simp (@recovery_simp) reported 55 minutes ago

  This 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?

  @wakeupusa Oh Geez, not another new word. Besides a cheek swab, just pull your pants down and see what you were born with. Shazam you are a female and or shazam you are a male. No one's taking their rights to identify how they want, but you can't negate biological reality.

  @OtunbaSebotimo It’s a great movie. The only problem is teenage Billy Batson is played as a serious, street-smart kid, but when he transforms into Shazam, he completely changes into an over-the-top, immature goofball. Doesn’t feels like they the same person
