  • This is true, but not everything that gets promoted gets popular. A lot also flunks.

    Taylor Swift just happens to hit a sweet spot that appeals to a lot of people.

    And music has a self-reinforcing spiral. People listen to music from artists that they like, and which their peers like.

    So a popular artist could theoretically release an album without any promotion and it would still become popular, just because people will be curious to listen to the new songs from an artist that they already like (of course, record labels will always heavily promote work from their popular artists to make them even more popular).









  • Honestly, the one thing that really surprises me about this war is how little the Israeli government cares about the hostages.

    They really do value land more than human lives.

    And the absolute cold blooded attitude they have towards innocent Palestinians is horrifying.

    Regardless of what the ICJ decides, for me people who support Hamas, ISIS, Russia, deny the Holocaust, neo-nazis or those who support the state of Israel are all immoral persons.

    And it is difficult to accept that most people are actually quite comfortable with evil. It seems to be that people are just tribal in which evil they support and which evil they object to.
