Would you still support Gaga if she became a billionaire

[David Ward 9,456]

Gaga’s power has always come from risk, discomfort, and speaking from the margins.

Extreme wealth pulls an artist into the systems they once challenged.

At that level, art gets filtered through brands, lawyers, and profit protection. Risk becomes a liability. Activism risks turning symbolic instead of disruptive and fans shift from community to consumers.

I will. She is not the first billionaire that I'll still bought the product of after the fact 

Say, Windows, Apple, Samsung, LVMH, Uniqlo, Nike, and so on and so forth

So you think Gaga is a product that should be bought like Apple or some other corporation?

If I can stick with her through Joanne & Chromatica, I don't see why this would change anything.

If she did, I just wouldn't feel any guilt about pirating anything. Allegedly.

She sells music and live performances, sure, she can say it art or whatever, and yes, her music touched me in higher level, but in the end she still gets paid from this, aside from her make up line, champagne, luxury watches, migraine pills, among others, which I mostly try to support by purchasing them, so yes.

Isn’t that what ARTPOP was 

popart = turning a product into art (making a soup can a painting)

ARTPOP = turning art into product (making a painting a soup can)

or am I just dumb 

Also sidenote u in ur pfp is kinda hot

I don't see how that would change anything tbh. She's already extremely wealthy. If you support her now, supporting her if/when she becomes a billionaire shouldn't make a difference. I guess the argument is that "there are no ethical billionaires," but like...do y'all think getting to be as wealthy as she is right now is ethical either?? 

[Guille 1,569]

Yes.

We have seen what she stands for. She has been a philanthropist since the very beginning, she has stood against racism, homophobia, sexism, sexual assault, even Trump (even though lately she has been quiet, which I can guess why)... she has given so much visibility to the importance of mental health. She is just the right deal, if anyone should become a billionaire, it should be Gaga. 

We wish all of them billionaires were like her.

I wouldn't care, I'm broke either way 

Although I don't support her ticket prices for the last tour

yes i will and i WILL expect atleast 100 million and some land for it

[Roughhouse Dandy 12,348]

I don't support the hoarding of money, but on the ladder of money hoarders the artists are on a low rung of billionaires to worry about. 

I'll focus that energy on the almost trillionaires and billionaires that make money off of killing individuals. After they're taken care of we can light our pitchforks for the ones who made it primarily sharing their art. 

Besides, I'm a Beyoncé enjoyer.

In the way that I'll still listen to her music, watch her music videos, go to concerts, yes.

But I never and will never support her other businesses and money-hungry moves.
