Lizzo gave her TikTok followers a crash course on algorithms and how they affect what people see on the Internet.
The disappointed singer said she dropped new music on Friday, but few people heard it because TikTok’s algorithms suppressed her content.
She introduced herself in the video, saying, “Hi, I’m a multiple Grammy Award-winning artist with multiple number ones and multiple platinum plaques – soon to be diamond plaques.”
She continued:
“The music industry is in complete shambles right now… Back in the day the music industry was very algorithmic… But that industry was controlled to a certain extent. Now that we are in the digital streaming age, there is no control over the algorithm and it is stressing people the f–k out – myself included.”
Lizzo complained that she dropped a mixtape over the summer and she released the deluxe to her mixtape on Friday. “And yet there are still people who don’t even know I dropped music.”
She said there is no song of the summer this year because the algorithms prevent artists from serving the masses.
Lizzo launched a private TikTok page (@LizzoIRL) where she shares her private thoughts and exclusive music with her fans. She has a private page because sharing her music on her popular TikTok page won’t reach her millions of followers.
@LizzoIRL already has 282.1K followers and 1.8 million likes.
