The biggest oil company in the world is the most hated online

NEW YORK, May 6 - After a week of bad news for BP in which they received a $25 million fine for two Alaska pipeline spills in 2006, the oil company’s reputation is plummeting with the online community.

With a public approval rating of only 19 percent, BP is ranked the Most Hated of the Top 5 largest Oil companies on Amplicate, an online opinion collating resource that accounts for more than 90 millionpublic opinions of social media users.

The most dramatic spike in negative opinions occurred in May 2010, a result of the impact of theDeepwater Horizon oil spill. The greatest rise in positive opinions was in November 2010 when BP announced that they would invest $78 million to help Louisiana tourism and advertise seafood. The company also said it had sent $1.7 billion in checks to those affected by the disaster.

Most common BP Negative opinions:  - BP has made poor excuses for their actions through PR spin and false information  - BP has not redeemed itself and is continuing to be an environmental hazard  - People should boycott the company

Most common BP Positive opinions:  - Mistakes happen with operations of such scale  - The world needs oil, therefore the world needs BP  - The environmental impact is not as bad as thousands of people loosing their jobs

Amplicate’s BP highest rated opinions:

“British Petroleum only cares about their BOTTOM LINE! How profitable their company IS! I say we totally boycott anything to do with this lackadaisical company and all of their subsidiaries. A company that has repeatedly ignored safety and environmental concerns does not deserve America's business.”[Read all]

"...Maybe we should all boycott BP Products on a mass scale before they drag us all down to hell with them.” [Read all]

“The most damage being done to the Gulf is the ban on any more drilling, putting hundreds of thousands out of jobs” [Read all]

…”Managing a complex offshore drilling rig isn't like running a bake sale. Mistakes happen. Get over it.” [Read all]

NEW YORK, May 11 - In the battle of the online music market, Spotify is lagging as social media users rank the company as their least loved Music Streaming Service.

Amplicate, an online opinion collating resource that accounts for more than 95 million public opinions of social media users, report that there has been over 450 negative Spotify opinions expressed on Twitter, Facebook and Amplicate within the last 3 months.

Opinions on the music database include complaints about advertising, criticism of the Spotify Premium service and comments on the limitations of the playlists. As one opinion stated, “Way to expensive to subscribe [...] as soon as you end your subscription after 3 years you still end up with nothing [...] this will just enforce downloading. If you wanna [sic] stop downloading put down the price.”

Not all the opinions regarding Spotify are negative however. One fan stated, “The selection of music is not perfect but it's good enough, even for the less commercial genres [...] I really like the new social features that have been added, particularly the ability to drop music into my friends' inboxes.”

These positive opinions account for an impressive 70 percent of the ratings, though not quite enough to compete with the likes of LastFM and Grooveshark, who both scored a love percentage of above 90 percent, leaving the Spotify in the bottom spot of the Top 10 for the past 3 months.

Amplicate ranks the most discussed Music Streaming Services to show how the Top 10 compare against each other in terms of public love, reach and absolute number of opinions. The service also publishes rankings and real opinions for over 200 thousand topics.
