I can't even judge them 'cause I've spent several hundred dollars on replicas of MJ's clothes, including a gorgeous sequin glove that I'll be wearing when I see Janet in a month

Collectors are collectors. They're not the ones with the problem, Taylor and her predatory products are

see, high value replicas and other memorabilia like picture discs or vinyls with alternate artworks i can understand but owning every single version of TTPD just for one song difference is so insane to me

Tell me you haven't seen @River's bank account without telling me you haven't seen @River's bank account

 

I'm cheap, I buy only on sales

I finally bought the magsafe charger after waiting months for it to hit $35 instead of $45

Oh my god are some of these comments actually vile or what? Why are you guys insulting and going after fans who just want to collect their favorite artist's merch? Don't act all high and mighty when there's big time collectors in every fanbase.

tbh it's not about collecting but more about what is being collected.

For example a good collectors value would be 1 variant of TTPD with every every bonus track, alternative covers and some other merch and bonuses instead of 30 variants of just 1 bonus track and 1 alternative cover, that's exploiting FOMO rather than giving a good value for the collectors, in 10-20 years the value of all the variants would be the same or even lower, compare to a good collector's editions where the value goes up the moment they go out of stock.

That's fair and I totally get it! 'cause I'm picky with what I add to my collection(s) and what I purchase as well, however, that doesn't justify insulting people.

But not when they can't defend themselves or are just minding their business!

True!

But, I'd prefer to speak out about it. It shouldn't have to reach a point where I have to warn someone imo. It's not right to talk like that about anyone so I'll call it out first 

@River your training has failed, he's still human

@PartySick tried but I almost deleted myself accidentally and he decided that was enough teaching...for life. 

[skaxboy 4,387]

Are they hurting anyone? Are they stealing money from anyone to pay for this junk? Are they forcing anyone else to listen to her music?

People spend their money on dumb stuff but that’s their choice. 

Taylor/her label is hustling them. I’m not tryna stop anyone’s hustle, but what they won’t do is try and hustle me.
