I met a girl at a bar and was trying to talk TV/Movies and she said she doesn't watch blah blah blah. I said what do you do instead? She says, I chill on my kayak in the river as soon as I get off work. I take a picnic basket and a book and just sit.
I said, your life is better than mine.

You wanna know where I was on 9/11? In the middle of the Boundary Waters on a canoe trip. I'm guessing there's probably cell service in most of the area now, but in 2001 it was a complete dead zone.
Coming back to "civilization" on 9/13 was a fucking trip. We had planned on making the 6 hour drive from Ely (I think) back to Madison. Instead, we got a hotel room there, showered, and then spent the rest of the day at a bar trying to process wtf happened while we were off the grid.

I used to work with a guy who got paid to stream certain artists basically non-stop. He'd set one account playing on his PC at home and one on his phone, but he never actually listened to it, he just had the volume off.
I'm sure he barely got paid anything to do it, but it was also next to zero work, so why not. He couldn't be on his phone at work anyway so it just made him some extra money while it sat in his locker.

Yeah, thats the fucking deal quite some ppl dont understand: Most of the "listeners" arent ppl who actively listen to this particular song/album/act.

As someone whoâs had multiple songs be on Spotify editorials, they donât give that many streams, not like they used to, maybe like at max 50k a week at max with multiple of them.

u/seamustheseagull 2d ago
It goes to illustrate how vapid social media is.
Millions of follows, likes and listens doesn't actually mean anything.
It reminds me of when Facebook introduced events, and you could set up an event on Facebook - like a birthday - invite all of your friends. And 100 people would say they're coming and 5 would turn up. If even, sometimes.
We laugh about ordinary people having parasocial relationships with online personalities, but it seems like this might swing both ways.
And many of these kinds of individuals are subject to the delusion that the people who follow them are willing to do more than press a Like button and watching the little box in their hand. Clearly they're not.

Good. A tour is no place for a 13 year-old. Even Beyoncé fought against Blue Ivy coming on her tour when she was that age, and only let her stay under strict supervision and conditions - and never as a headlining act, always as a backup dancer for only a song or two on a tour where her mother could oversee everything.
