It's an awareness stunt. I get the point - but its also hard to feel bad for very successful music superstars who are having a few down years. That being said these music industry shills running ticketing, touring etc. Are awful so bringing that to attention is a worthwhile cause.

But who else is going to make people aware of the issue but a successful music superstar?

If me, Joe Musician who tours the regional small clubs, puts my feet on OnlyFans, no one gives a shit. Lily Allen has charted multiple times (although she's nowhere near as popular in the U.S. as she is in other countries).

Yes that's what I was trying to say. It's an awareness stunt more so than I woe is me type of complaint.
