@maanonliplumper You're really good at being two-faced.
I expected a low-quality bait thread, but I didn't expect arguments this poorly supported. Just don't block me this time.
@aetherlism@Blinky07777@maanonliplumper You’re moving from “HYBE made them famous” to “HYBE gave them promotion.” Those are not the same claim. Promotion can create exposure, but it doesn’t guarantee genuine public interest, fan growth, or long-term support.
@aetherlism@Blinky07777@maanonliplumper Interesting. You replied multiple times, then blocked me before I could respond. I'll let others decide what that says.
@aetherlism@Blinky07777@maanonliplumper Promotion is one thing. Accusing a company of payola is another. That's a serious allegation, and it requires evidence—not assumptions. If you have evidence, present it. If not, it's just speculation.
@aetherlism@Blinky07777@maanonliplumper Personal insults don't change the evidence. If your argument depends on calling people "retarded", it's not a very strong argument. If HYBE alone created success, every HYBE group would follow the same trajectory. They don't.
@Blinky07777@aetherlism@maanonliplumper You're acting like millions of people don't genuinely like the artists themselves, as if they're only here because of HYBE. That's an incredibly shallow assumption. Taste is personal. Most artists stay within a niche. CORTIS has simply connected with a much wider audience.
@aetherlism@Blinky07777@maanonliplumper Calling someone "unwell" isn't a substitute for evidence. You stopped addressing the argument and started attacking me instead. That says more about your position than mine.
@Blinky07777@maanonliplumper Whether they'll become legends is another question, but dismissing their success as "only because of HYBE" ignores the evidence.
Personally, I believe we're watching the rise of something special.
@Blinky07777@maanonliplumper Calling it "the truth" doesn't make it a fact. It's still your opinion. Their rapid growth in sales, fanbase, and followers is measurable. Their trajectory is different from what we usually see in K-pop.
@mattprxy Maybe work on your attitude before criticizing other people's music. Talent might get you noticed, but attitude determines how far you'll go.
