Melon is unreliable with increasingly more sajaegi?

Pann: Melon chart these days

(Pann talks about Melon chart being unreliable due to sajaegis)

1. [+137, -1] The chart stays the same for months so it's boring for me.

2. [+131, -2] The problem is the public that knows a song is a sajaegi but doesn't bother to filter out the song. Idol stans are sensitive with the chart so they filter out sajaegis and call out artists like Shaun and Nilo all the time but the public listens to sajaegis without paying attention and thinks they're listening to underrated indie artists.

3. [+83, -2] They say you're a fool if you don't do sajaegi. My friend does music and he was contacted by a broker to get him charted higher by marketing. The broker named a few artists and said the artists got popular this way. The broke said you're a fool if you don't do it and that even big idol fandoms contact him for it. He said rookie artists these days must do it if you want to compete against them. A rookie artist or an indie artist's song is climbing back on the chart? It's 100% sajaegi.

4. [+44, -0] Honestly, since one day, there started to be so many nugus on the chart. Why are there so many songs that climb back on the chart now?

5. [+43, -0] Agreed. Is the #1 song right now also a sajaegi? It's such a nugu but it's #1.

6. [+28, -15] But people only use Melon.

7. [+26, -0] The sajaegi artists are shamelessly denying their obvious cheating and they gain a lot of listeners. Now it seems like any artist is jumping to doing sajaegi ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So frustrating

8. [+23, -0] Who even listens to the #1 song on Melon right now? I've never seen anyone who listens to the song.

9. [+22, -0] Lee Hi is #1 right now. People talk about filtering out YG but seems like they still listen to YG.

10. [+19, -0] I stream my bias all the time but it doesn't chart any higher whereas other nugus chart so much easier.

11. [+15, -0] I don't want to see YG songs, either.

12. [+15, -0] Sajaegi + YG... No wonder why they take the public for fools.
