As to my understanding TS made so much money cause she couldn’t get her masters and recorded them herself and her fans bought them. Essentially taking the line share which would normally go to the record companies. I don’t see how that is a bad thing, but I’m open to learning how it could be.
You could argue she enables high ticket prices for concerts or whatever but again the artist is as beholden to TicketMaster and RockNation as the fans are.
I don’t know much about her charitable work, but I think if you’re a billionaire you could always do more, that said aside from giving it all away at once it’s pretty hard to lose money once you’re that rich.
She can certainly do more to be eco-conscious though.
I actually sound like I’m into her, which I’m really not. Just wanted a discussion.
Personally I think of she did something to deal with the absurd amounts of eco problems caused by her concerts and general mass flights she wouldn’t really have any issues, at least that I’m aware of. As far as billionaires go, not bad.
Wrong, that’s what they have been conditioned to believe it’s worth because that’s what things are priced at, it has nothing to do with their actual value.
You buy a Gucci handbag for 2k, it cost 50$ to make and sell, the rest is overhead going to investors. You think you paid a fair price because that’s what these things sell for but if you remove the leeches that have nothing to do with producing the good then you’re left with a 50$ handbag.
Im no Swifty but has she
rallyreally exploited people to get to this level of wealth?Im just talking about the actual money here and not her carbon footprint or whatever.
Indirectly? Absolutely. Directly? Almost certainly, but it would depend on what you mean by ‘rally’.
Apologies for the typo, I meant really.

One hell of an environmental impact though.
Where does her money comes from? People who overpay for what she sells compared to what it’s worth.
If they’re paying for it, then that’s what they think it’s worth. She’s not selling necessities.
Wrong, that’s what they have been conditioned to believe it’s worth because that’s what things are priced at, it has nothing to do with their actual value.

As I said further down to the other person. Artists are beholden to record labels, ticket master, and rock nation as the rest of us.
It’s the system that is broken.
Are you pretending she gives away her cut?
“Oh no, I have to keep these billions of dollars while the majority of people can’t imagine ever owning the place they live in!”
Fuck off, stop defending rich people, they exist at our expense.
I’m not defending per se. I was trying to have a discussion on whether there are scales to these people.
The answer is no, to become that rich you need to not care a single bit about the rest of humanity.
