They are marketing geniuses. They also undermine any woman that doesn't serve them a purpose and perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards while claiming it's all "natural". Sure, part of the criticism is plain misogyny but let's not play dumb about it
Khloé Kardashian admits that her entire family has zero actual talent and has been running a 20-year psychological con on the public
"I think we have so much power in marketing and branding, and we've been in this business for 20 years... if we were men, you'd be like they're marketing geniuses. But because we're women, people want to... sort of poke and make fun. And we are along for the ride. We will make fun... we'll go with it."
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against YouTube over its "ad-free" subscription claims
Plaintiffs argue YouTube Premium still shows ads because creators include sponsorship segments in their videos
@MrJoeMcBob I'm Portuguese and from the town the library is at. The project makes zero sense. I get the sentiment, but not the place. There are no banned books in Portugal, haven't been since 74. And it's also weird because the library is quite controversial locally and mostly a tourist trap
@/sam.chiqui on Tik Tok explains this onslaught of misinformation and AI propaganda towards Taylor (as well as other celebrities) SO WELL. Please check out his video on Tik Tok as well!
Y'all and your witch-hunts are going to make fanfiction extinct. Most writers don't have English as a first language, a lot of them are starting out and trying to mimic styles they read, and everyone is doing this for FREE. Unless there's a prompt in the text, there's zero proof
Music critic Anthony Fantano speaks to Variety after being slammed by Halsey:
“We’re talking about a two-year-old review here where I’ve remained mostly silent on the reception of the review, despite the fact that Halsey and her fans, for the duration of that time, have pushed the narrative that I disliked the album — or said in my assessment of the album that there was a ‘self-centeredness’ about it — because she was sick. That I specifically attacked this album and tore it apart because there’s some cartoonishly evil characteristic about me that somehow just singled this album out because of who she is or the illness that she suffered during that time in her life that inspired the record, which couldn’t be further from the truth...

She's the youngest female artist inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, gets constant praise on her talent from the Beatles and several music legends and you call that PR? Her entire career is built on nothing but merit
The worst thing about her is that so few of her accomplishments are based on merit—it’s all PR. When she is brought up it’s never about how good her music is, it’s about metrics, business, and quantity, very rarely the quality
