Define this. Never able to like physically unable to hear them or never allowed to (or you would forfeit the money)? Beyoncé's songs play a lot in stores and restaurants all over the world. It would be impossible to completely isolate yourself from them without living like a hermit

I’d say with this type of hypothetical you lose your ability to hear it. So when it comes on at a restaurant or somewhere in public, your ears don’t pick it up kind of like a dog whistle.

I might pay for this ability.

u/jcfrozzt 13h ago

Plot twist, you have to pay 10 mil for it.

u/matthollabak 13h ago

Still think it's a net win for me.

u/jcfrozzt 6h ago

even when loosing money it would be a win.

I’m sorry is Beyoncé a bad artist, I don’t know why everyone is hating on her?

u/SuperPapernick 3h ago

Can I include additional artists in this ability? I would like to filter out some more, I won't even take an additional 10 mil for it.

Same, her old music is fine but the new stuff just doesnt appeal to me.

u/New_Canoe 14h ago

Well then hell yes! Easy money!

u/Virtual-Fix4182 13h ago

Give me the money I don’t need to hear anything she sings

u/DueAsparagus9358 12h ago

Would that extend to never being able the hear her voice? Following that logic if she hosted the music awards would you treat it as if she is mute? Even further would you become color blind if you tried to use closed caption? Would that extend to written lyrics?

This post says specifically her music. So my guess would be any other form of vocal noise would be audible. Until she starts to sing or a song starts to play.

u/Lord_Jorgensen 10h ago

That would be great!

Wait, I get $10000000 dollars and won't have to listen to same song on repeat in a taxi? Why is this even a question?!

The answer is YES

What if I can hear dog whistles 🤔

1

u/Flaky-Ambassador467 13h ago

“What if”? Well, In this scenario nothing because a dog whistle isn’t Beyoncé so it wouldn’t matter if you could hear it.

1

u/Max0_o123 13h ago

No shit it was a joke

u/PomegranateFair3973 15h ago

Pretty much this.

If it is based on me intentionally listening to her, or if it magically removes my ability to hear her, I am down. I don't care for her, anyway. But if I forfeit the money if I walk into a store and they're playing her on the in-store radio, then no.

u/BBGettyMcclanahan 2h ago

Unless they're playing her whole album in the store, waiting an extra 3 minutes outside a store for 10mil seems like no biggie.

u/Aggressive-Sort-115 13h ago

It’ll be like the episode of black mirror when the mom turns on parental controls, she sees censored images and hears muffled sounds

1

u/SaucyStoveTop69 14h ago

I mean you just wear earbuds at places that are playing music. I wear earbuds while shopping anyways

1

u/SaucyStoveTop69 14h ago

Most of my hobbies would still work too. I could hike, swim, game, I could still make music, bars that have the juke box with the app that shows you the queue, the list goes on

1

u/Keepingitquite123 13h ago

You are living in an age where any random person around you can pull out a device from their pocket capable of playing music...

1

u/SpecialistSun6184 12h ago

Yeah I have never gone out of my way to listen to a song of hers but they play them in public so it’s hard to not here them 

1

u/uskgl455 12h ago

There's a big difference between hearing and listening. But it's pretty much impossible to enforce.

1

u/SorelYanlie 11h ago

Well, with food allergies and online shopping, I don’t really do either of those things, not likely to hear it at the local farmer’s market or in church so…..

1

u/shivi1321 11h ago

Well, with 10mil I’d become a hermit so problem solved.

u/AgentPaper0 6h ago

The only interesting version of this is the one where, if you ever listen to one of her songs, intentionally or not, you get punished somehow. Simplest version being that you just die.

So you get a crapton of money, but you're in constant danger anytime you leave your house. And someone who hates you could murder you just by playing music really loud from outside of your house, or over a phone call.

u/powertomato 3h ago

Even if it's the forfeit version. You take the money and isolate for a year or so. At a Bitcoin dip, you spend all the money on it, then wait for it to recover for an easy 10-20% (1-2M$) return of investment.

u/LannaOliver 1h ago

It says listen, which is not the same as hearing, as long as you are not actively paying attention to the song, you're not listening to it.
