But she saw it as an opportunity to play the victim for the 50th time and drain the pockets of her cult [...] with those stupid ass re-recordings

This is what I came to post. About how funny it is that she waited until she milked her fans to buy the same 5 albums for a second time (? not sure how many of the re-recordings she did and I can't be bothered to look) to buy these back.

I can't imagine this kind of greed.

Everyone taking her side like "ohhh won't someone pleeeeease have sympathy for this blood-sucking billionaire?!?!?!" in here make me SICK.

FUCK OFF

You are correct and so is Marte.

Yeah it's crazy how much sympathy there is in here. Wild.

People have sympathy for artists that have been screwed out of owning their own music by middleman record labels - a tale as old as record labels themselves?

And this artist in particular, while imperfect, gives a whole lot of money to positive charities, is pro trans rights, pro LGBT, and anti Trump.

Gosh, how hard to comprehend the sympathy.

I think I mayhave heard 2-3of her songs, so no Swiftie here.

She's a Billionaire. She creates value. She offers it to people who willingly buy it.

Nothing like billionaires who manipulate markets, hoard resources, or land, or housing.

Yes, I've heard the jet controversy, and there are other questionable things, I'm sure, but in the Billionaire context, I'd say she's on the decent side of the spectrum.

She's OK by me.
