Add onto this that he is using lotteries to get people to buy his chocolate (even though its consistently rated as not as good as others) and he is lying about the healthiness of said chocolate.
Your comment is confusing me.
While I agree that Ticketmaster is a fucked up monopoly,
Implies that what you’re going to say next is something that either excuses them or is worse than them, but you go on to say:
the only one fucked were those buying tickets.
Which, imo, is true but does not follow the logic of the “while” statement.
Then you go on to say:
Taylor will easily survive another day; those that sold their pancreases for a seat…not so much
Which makes me think you are blaming Taylor Swift for Ticketmaster’s prices, or at least saying that she is complacent in some way. But the point is the prices were set by Ticketmaster, and padded with exorbitant fees that Taylor had no control over.
But competition would force these middlemen to make their services better, lower prices, etc. This whole comment doesn’t get to the heart of this matter, regardless whether ticket master is a scapegoat, the ticket selling industry would be better off if there was more competition.
Also, isn’t it still wrong of companies like ticket master to bully artists with their top-down control of venues and promoting?
I hope you can avoid it because it’s shit. 🙃
