Also, it's always Taylor Swift.
I feel like this is seeing in action the thinking that led to the cultural revolution. "Sure, he's just a chemistry teacher. But he's one of the evil ones. He's in the bad group. Into the labor camp!"
Fixing the awful problems with our society requires changing a lot of things, among them taxes and the power of the wealthy to distort government and public opinion. Demonizing Taylor Swift relentlessly will do fuck all.
Of all the rich and influential people in US Taylor Swift is the least of your problems. She's an absolute winner for opposing the power grabbing ppl. Take it out on Jeff Bozos or Elon or some other undemocratic capitalist.
I’d love to see entertainment democratized. That was kind of the promise of Netflix and YouTube that was sold to us 20 years ago. It was supposed to allow room for many artists to bloom and prosper and find audiences. Unfortunately, that was kind of a false promise and now we still have superstars who suck up the world’s entertainment resources. I want to watch more local bands. I want to watch more independent movies. Taylor swift is just an advertising agency at this point. She’s just a marketing agency with one client.
Our household has a subscription on Nebula we're quite happy with. Some good independent content.
