This is absolutely ridiculous . Taylor is preventing her fans from being scammed again. This is a program that rewards fans for doing things they were already doing , but a scapler would have no interest in taking time to participate in.
So many fans got scammed during the 1989 tour, they were sold tickets by scaplers at high prices , and often these were tickets to seats that didn’t even exist. Many people were turned away. Taylor’s doing something so this doesn’t happen again.
This is a system that is entirely voluntary. It caters to the things that fans were already doing , they’re just being rewarded now , by not being scammed or Scapled. Fans are going to buy merch and pre order albums anyway , we always do. We do this every era without any incentive. Why do you think Taylor has had 3 albums sell a million copies in the first week? - because we buy albums. She knows this.
Yes , there were some concerns from fans initially , mainly the fact that this system seemed to favor Rich fans, but those concerns were quickly resolved after taking it to tumblr with Taylor. she quickly made changes to the platform To make things more ( free) activities based. Videos are no longer low boost with a maximum of 5 views per day. Videos are now Medium boost and you can watch each video 20 times a day , and each view is a medium boost.
Pretty much all the free activities are Medium boosts now. The only free activities that are still low boosts , are friend referrals and visiting the site everyday. You can easily get high priority just from watching videos.
All she’s doing is basically giving us a code for tickets , so we can bypass scaplers and bots this era
Inside an album she already knew we wanted and would buy , and she’s also putting those codes in free videos too.
You really don’t have to buy anything , my pre order hasn’t even been in the system long enough to register that I have purchased anything , but I’m already in priority just from watching videos!
Since when is not wanting your fans to be scammed “ fan exploitation” ? I don’t feel exploited one bit, in fact I actually feel relief.
As someone who’s waited by my computer all day, intending to buy tickets , only to have a bot buy my ticket, and then not being able to go to the concert because the only seats left were from scaplers charging 6X the original price -I like this system.
X-23 even goes out of her way to make that clear. She loudly proclaims that she’s not just a weapon. She’s Laura Kinney. She has a mother, a father, and the title. She is, by every meaningful criteria, Wolverine. Taylor does everything necessary to make this abundantly clear. If anyone has any doubts at this point that Laura is worthy of that title, then they’re just clueless.
