      Not all of them. i wouldn’t call buying a concert ticket exploitation. Pricing them to astronomical heights, yeah. The only person responsible for parting with their moneys is the Self.

        This comes up a lot. While Swift might not be able to control concert ticket prices as a whole, she certainly has the influence to make it better. She’s a literal billionaire with a very devout following.

        If anyone could hold a concert at a non-ticketmaster venue, it’s her.

        If anyone could pay her staff quintuple the going rate, it’s her.

        If anyone could lobby cities that hold her concerts accountable for how they treat homeless people, it’s her.

        I love Taylor Swift as much as the next person, but she has blood on her hands just like every billionaire. She may be one of the “good” ones but if anyone could afford to do better, it’s her.

          And yet, you pay for her priviledge. Is your arm ever sore for the twisting of it?

                Are you like a boomer that can’t understand you’re not talking to the same person with every comment? You know lemmy is the whole forum, not a user you’re replying to right?
