Ticketmaster owns nearly all the large venues. Ticketmaster also own merch distribution companies. They also own artist promotion companies. So if an artist cuts ties with Ticketmaster, they get locked out of really everything. Ticketmaster has a whopping 300+ subsidiaries. Link to everything they own- https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1335258/000119312511050243/dex211.htm
They also make up 89% of ticket revenue shares.
Artists don't have much of an option.

Damn, guess it's good that the last time I went there was 1994 when you could get through the line and still have time to do other stuff that day.

dude space mountain was so fucking awesome, it's like a combo black crazy water slide + rollercoaster, so metal.
i went there after it became star wars land and that ride was lame as shit, like ok, a shitty indoor coaster, sounds effects and projectors? congrats.
and the fact that they made that building stop spinning??? madness

> Carlson declared that "M&M's will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous," and that when "you're totally turned off, we've achieved equity."
Who looks at M&M cartoons to be turned on? How are these people real?

I got to listen, yesterday, to a coworker describe in very unfamiliar terms that they were upset about a "noodle company" changing their product/a flavor of their product to no longer be named Oriental.
​
He did not buy the product, he did not use it (he didn't even know exactly what company, had just "heard about it"), yet somehow this was something to be angry about.
​
I remain confused how that changes the world for him.

Boots to shoes is an outrage! They should have at least put Green in spike heels and nylons. How dare they threaten by my ability to sexualize candy. Get the torches and pitchforks. We've got to stop these Mars perverts. /s

I mean honestly, anyone and everywhere who has ever attended a concert or event where Ticketmaster applied fees should protest. It’s absolutely ridiculous the fees they’re able to tack on and additionally how they’re scalping their own tickets.

That would be ridiculous. There is no way those old oldies could stand up to the new girls now that purple is on the scene.

Reply to Ted Sarandos says that Netflix has “never canceled a successful show” by avery5712
What's the oniony bit here?
Netflix has metrics for success. They cancel shows that don't meet them, and don't cancel shows that do.
