Gregory's Server@kitoconnell I saw some thread the other day trying to defend her but it basically came down to "she's nice to her fans"

 @kitoconnell yeah like, I don't need the bourgeoisie to be nice I need it to not exist @kitoconnell also: no one becomes a billionaire through just ticket sales and streaming royalties. None of the ex Beatles were ever billionaires. What are her other investments?  @julieofthespirits @kitoconnell I’m not gonna look too hard but I’m pretty sure the vast majority of her income comes from her music (and merch and tickets) @julieofthespirits @kitoconnell and I do have to give her some props for turning down $100 million (!) from FTX. Lots of celebs took the sleazy crypto cash @peterbutler @julieofthespirits that shows at least her managers have better judgment than most about staying away from scams, sure.  @peterbutler @julieofthespirits @kitoconnell Her dad was/is a vulture capitalist who could afford to move to Nashville when she was very young and hire top people to work with her. @RodneyPetersonTalent @julieofthespirits @kitoconnell Fair point. Family capital is often a hidden privilege |
@julieofthespirits yea a lot of it seems that way. And tbh that's fine, I do have some small respect for celebrities that treat their fans well. But I still believe being a billionaire is bad.
