I'm clearly a complete asshole. no, it's just your complaint is a broader one about late capitalism and has nothing to do with blink.

It gave us the Mark Zoom, therefore - it's worth its weight in gold. Davey, can you vouch for me again - I'm a cool guy. I'm trying to remember how I started getting involved here... yea i haven't seen you on the disco since like feb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveyjones Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 17 minutes ago, Depf said: Because under socialism only her party member father would have gotten one? cute. in all seriousness, i was referring to the concept of artificial scarcity as it relates to the attention economy. scarcity has always been what makes capitalism work, especially when it's manufactured scarcity (which is, in fact, anti-market). the attention economy means that the owners of society are very focused on socials and their numbers... the likes, the subscribes... limited edition merchandise has existed probably since fan-based product has existed (think of all the pieces of the "true cross" sold on the pilgrimage trail). so what you have now is people who want to drive followings on their twitters or tiktoks or instagrams or facebooks or youtubes or whatever. so they only announce their limited edition wares there, and the people that follow the socials get rewarded. so when @Kay complains that she has to be "camped out online every single day" to not miss out on limited edition blink merch, what she's really saying is i don't want to pay attention to the attention economy. which i fully respect, it's a principled choice. and the result (or consequence) of that choice is that you don't get the rewards it offers then. broadly, this is about a.) i want to live in a world in which my choices carry no consequences and / or b.) i am an obstinate person who derives security, identity—and possibly even pleasure—from grievance. both positions of which i relate to and actually empathize with. @Patient #48273does that about cover it? thank you for listening to my TED talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw he posted some pics in a Mickey Mouse hat, and my Eskimo Brother commented “Mickey mouse after burning those backwoods” or something like that. To which Travis replied with a smoke/cloud emoji. I thought he couldn’t smoke anymore because of some throat cancer threat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm out of the blink loop. Either way, Tom should join up. Skiba can stay if he wants, they would sound way better live with two guitarists and another singer. Skiba also brings a unique sound that has worked well in places. Mix it with Tom and see where it goes. AVA is a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
