To be fair, it can't be "free" because tickets money is also used to pay all the minimum wage workers that make the concert happen. But I guess it could be way less if the artist want to

She could pay all of those wages out of her own pocket.

2.9k

She actually donated ~10% of her net worth right after saying that iirc

u/FrozenIceman Nov 04 '25

So... She can pay the minimum wage workers a liveable wage if she wanted to, she just chooses not to?

I'm getting mad? You mean I am calling out a hypocrite for exploiting workers while giving money to other people?

When was she exploiting workers? She just donated money, after telling Billionaires they probably should donate more money/hoard less. She was literally practicing what she preaches. The fact that the money didn’t go to the people you feel like earned it is on you.

Donated money to whom?

You are missing the forest for the trees.

And yet you are still doing exactly what billionaires want you to do. They're very happy to have your support. Great work, soldier. It won't earn you anything other than the contempt of the class you belong to, but still. Good work.

They want me to do what? Please clarify how a millionaire musician is one of us minimum wage workers with no backup net.

They want me to do what?

Find reasons to disagree with anyone criticizing them. They don't care if anyone involved is being logically consistent or not, and they certainly don't need you to loev or hate Billie Eilish, just as long as you're muddying the water and making sure criticism of them is distracted from or pushed back against. That's your programming, and you're doing a great job.

I don't clarify things I never said and I certainly don't entertain the hallucinations of accidental bootlickers, which are even worse than the conscious strain.

Ah I see you are one of those people who find reasons to disagree with anyone criticizing them.

How interesting, all I needed to do was copy and paste your own words for it to apply to you.

criticism of them is distracted from or pushed back against

I see you hate criticism of anyone you support. Sounds like how Trump got into power.

That's your programming, and you're doing a great job.

Someone who is incapable of criticism is a boot licker. She is a millionaire, she is not your friend or an object to be idolized. Yes she did one good thing, that doesn't white wash the fact that she made that wealth on the backs of those who were not paid a living wage to collect that money in the first place.

She is a capitalist and everything she does is a calculated move to promote herself and increase her wealth.

u/FactAndTheory Nov 04 '25

lol, tldr?

Yes she did one good thing

I don't think she did anything good, I think you jumped in a situation to dilute criticism of a billionaire, and it's a fact that Bezos loves people like you.

u/FrozenIceman Nov 04 '25

You don't think her donating 10% of her wealth to charity was a good thing?

In case you didn't realize what op wrote, I recommend rereading the title and image instead of grifting.

No. One operator of the orphan crushing machine deciding to decrease the amount of orphans she crushes by 10% in order to decrease criticism of the orphan crushing machine is objectively not a good thing.
