I thought I wouldn't say a word about the issue but I really need to let this out of my chest as people keep talking about content redistribution and capitalism, to which I'm personally concerning irl.

I have this principle that the kpop industry is a part of capitalism (hint: 'industry'), the companies are capitalists and we, of course, are the market, the consumers.

No I wouldn't talk about economical shits, that's neither my main major or my favorite subject.

The artists here are both the workers and products of their companies, unlike independent artists with their own works as the products. Yes they are being taken out as objects and yes we 'buy' them as one, directly or not. The staffs are also workers. They deserve rights.

About paid contents: I honestly, very honestly have no problem with you all redistributing such a thing for those who couldn't afford it. Yes, art and entertainment should be accessible for everyone.

On the other hand, those who paid aren't (supposedly) being the entitled ones. Consider paying for the artists, crew, and creative team's effort to make this online concert possible, even accesible globally. It's not an overnight work, it took a lot of efforts and time.

"You support capitalism" aren't we all, in this kpop industry? I hate it too, I oppose the base of capitalism if you can't tell, but last night's discourse missed the point. I think about buying the content so the workers could get paid with deserved amount after their hard work.

Ideally, the payment we made for it would go to the artists and the crew aside from the company itself, with each of their deserved percentage.

(If it doesn't happen that way, well, screw the companies)

So, is it worth my penny for a 1.45 hr online concert? I'd say yes.

I kinda lost track at this point but here's my stance: don't feel guilty for not being able to make a purchase and ended up trying to get a free access, and don't feel guilty for purchasing the content also. We are all struggling in this difficult situation, though differently.

If you can afford the purchase, do it, at least for the artists and the crew aside from your own entertainment purpose. If you can't, don't feel guilty, being a fan shouldn't be this complicated.

(Sorry for butting into this issue eventually but this is ironically hilarious for me to talk about this again in my 3rd account and 4th fandom this time, a.k.a people seem to not ready for this conversation yet)

Enough trying to be smart today, I'm back crying over jaehyun
