And the reason why is that I see the gift as a nice extra of what a membership of U2.com should be.
For me, the membership should be about getting advantages to purchase tickets for U2 when they tour.
But most of all, it should give you extra content and newsflashes about the band. Some things that I am thinking of when I talk about extra content are:
-Shows that never been physical released to download. Maybe not in the best quality, but I think that subscribe to U2.com shows you’re a dedicated fan. I think that a lot of dedicated fans are really happy to hear this.
-More news. And not only the headliners. But why not hype your band with footage of the band in the studio?
What I am trying to say is that IMO the discussion should not be about the gift. But about the way the official online community is organised at this moment.
I really think that the U2 fans deserve more than what we are getting now. And I really think it’s a shame that fansites like U2Songs and of course U2Start are doing a way better job than U2.com. Even without having official acces to the band and their productions.
And by shaming the gift we all getting distracted by the real problem. The official online community of U2 is a shame for the band.
And when they would fix that problem, I think the gift would be a nice extra to anyone.
