    Reason?

    heres the message they sent out:

    “Hello users,

    unfortunately we have to tell you that THE SOURCE will be closed.

    We simply don't have the time for a project like this anymore.

    If you are a buyer who still wants to buy some things,
    hurry up or you will probably loose the chance to buy most of the songs.

    A few sellers already told us that they want to continue with selling,
    but the majority of the verified sellers said that they also want to stop selling,
    matter the fact that there won't be any other legit existing platform after the shut down.

    Contact the verified sellers for their private contacts
    and they might agree to continue selling to you in private.

    Be very careful in the future,
    because there will be many imposters trying to scam you,
    by acting like THE SOURCE or the sellers that were verified on THE SOURCE.

    THE SOURCE will be closed and won't come back.

    The shut down succeeds the 18th of June at 16:00 PM Eastern Time (ET).”

    I much prefer the days of the solely behind the scenes leaking community. the popularity, in lack of a better word, of leak culture and “leaks” in general has brought the inevitable over-monetization of leaking music. i mean correct me if i’m wrong but before music mafia, no one was group buying songs / the majority did not have access the the leak community. like i said correct me if i’m wrong but idk. it would happen randomly or accidentally

    not to mention the stupid standards it sets for artists and the disrespect it is to them personally as an artist. if they didn’t want to release it they didn’t release it. for all we know, and ik this will never happen but maybe! he releases an album or two full of b-sides of all these songs that have leaked and many more. there may be mumble on there there may not be who knows that’s besides the point

    there were groupbuys, but usually small private groups instead of the big public ones. these groups would also just trust eachother not to leak the song (rarely worked) instead of just leaking it once it’s sold. like the other guy said, it was more like a pack of songs for about $300. once this concept hit the public though there was an infinite amount of people to contribute so the prices could just keep going up and still sell. it destroyed the market
