At what expense, though? They have all sorts of fans, and right now, the ones who like them for their music and don't care too much about their personal lives are not really responding well to the app and their recent announcements. I'm in between. I like them for their music first, but I also care about them as people, but I don't get caught up in things like what they had for breakfast, what cemetery they've been to recently or the 156 changes Bill has done to his physique. So while I do understand they need these bells and whistles to keep some of their fans (perhaps a slim majority) occupied to make up for the absence of music-related news, I hope this phase isn't going to overstay its welcome.
I tend to support my favorite acts in all they do, but Tokio Hotel have been a little.. different, I must say. Bottom line, sure, do what you need to do, but don't drag this out. Throw us music lovers a bone, too.
Agreed with the rest of your post though, Amdee.
