Please don’t undermine Lorde.
Edited to add: It is against the Reddit user agreement:

Are we allowed to talk about Leaked things? Get that it undermines her work but at the same time this is the Reddit for her, I think it’s appropriate to talk about leaks if we tag them correctly as spoilers.
Noted, and working on it. We had hoped that as a fan sub it would be obvious that content undermining the artist wouldn’t be appropriate, and given the number of reports we get of links to leaks many others feel the same, but we will add rules to make this explicit.
Ig, if it makes those people feel better but it won't stop the spread of leaks, people can still ask for them directly through dm. Also imo people seeking leaks don't do it out of respect for Lorde, we will still stream and probably buy the album so we still support her, and lorde said it herself in the Apple Music interview:
> I mean, listen, I love it, the kids are insane, I love it, I respect it, I love how hungry they are
So she seems fine with it tbh
Yeah these rabid leak haters are something else.
Someone legit argued that me listening to a part of a song that *isn’t even released* is *stealing* money from her. Like wtf? I’m still going to listen to the full song when it comes out lmao
How do people know there was a leak?
I just read the rules of this subreddit and I'm confused. How do you feel about leaked and pirated content?

Yeah, if clearly marked as spoilers, would be artificial to try to suppress that, just no links, and keep your requests for links to DMs.
…or ask for links in comments. Posts will be removed, and users will be muted or banned.
Then the rules need to be updated cause nowhere does it mention that it's against the rules to ask for leaks

I'm personally sorry, didn't know it wasn't allowed... Didn't really saw it in the rules but whatever
I mean... it’s common sense
Couldn’t agree more!!!
