What about the people who need internet to pay their bills but forego a meal? The ones who don't even have their own networks and visit a McDonald's in order to check this site or do whatever because they need an escape from the world, especially with what is going on? 9 hours ago, Chrisspaulsen said: Sorry - but no. I was lucky and privileged enough to have the money for this, but I had to think about it for a few minutes before I hit that purchase button. I’ve lost months and months of income because of the pandemic, and the steppingstone of a job that I have been working to get for the past 10 years went down the drain. The only reason I’m able to afford and enjoy music at all right now is because I’m lucky enough that I live in a country that has great support for the unemployed. I could never in my wildest dreams imagine Gaga feeling that “the least we owe her is $12” - that’s not her.. (or at least that’s not the person I see her as..) I absolutely get you wanting us all to support her, and wanting us all to run out and get the album, absolutely! It should however be clear that the people who choose to spend time on this forum are in fact all really devoted supporters. I’m gonna interpret your post as an enthusiastic cheer, and just remind you that these are not normal times. People’s economic situation might be far from your own, and that might be incredibly tough for some. So please, keep promoting and spreading the Chromatica love - but don’t, in any way, snap back at those who might not be able to afford a copy of the album at this very moment. You guys I totally sympathize with what your saying but perhaps I should have added more context. I am referring to a specific group of Gaga fans who do this time and time again. Those who are financially able to support but simply do not because they think buying an album is not important (when they can just illegally download it, this was more the case before streaming), those very same people will have no problem buying her concert tickets. We have always had people like that in this fan base, who do the maximum to complain about every album and every album rollout only to contribute nothing to it. I truly apologize if I came across insensitive and will be careful to give more context time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this rollout is perfect I don’t remember There being much hype surrounding the album back then a later rollout allowed her to gain extra exposure by organizing and headlining the one world at home together concert. She amassed so much GP attention and praise by doing that. It definitely would have she was meant to drop Rain on Me in March, perform at Cochella, do an Apple Music Fan Concert, she had billboards planned, international promo most likely and more. If covid did not happen the album would’ve easily done 300k-350k I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can afford $12 for an album they knew was coming months in advanced. It's the least support a Gaga fan can show. Not just to support her music but to support everything she's given back to the community during this pandemic and donating to so many honorable causes. She always has our backs, most should manage $12 as an indirect thank you. Gaga herself would tell us not to buy the album if we don’t have the money because that’s who she is, clearly it’s not who you are. WiFi & cell phones are a NECESSITY. Myself & others NEED WiFi to continue our schooling (which costs thousands to attend) & I won’t even go into why people need a phone because that should be common sense. Simply listening to the album is showing your support because you are giving up time you will never get back & giving it to Gaga. Not to mention streaming counts so there’s no reason to condemn monsters who can’t afford an album for whatever that reason may be. I urge you to put things into perspective & be thankful that you were able to buy the album because as we’ve seen, not every monster has that luxury. EDIT: just saw your reply to other monsters & glad you cleared it up. In regard to that specific group that can but don’t buy the album I agree with you.
