    TAYLOR SWIFT WE NEED YOU! WHERE ARE YOU? DON'T LEAVE US WE NEED HELP!

    This is obviously tounge in check but it feels closer to real than it should be.

    Taylor Swift moving to another platform would absolutely cause a massive crowd to follow. Maybe we'll see it happen one day.

    You'll find that these professions have a vested interest in maintaining network effects, and as such will view Mast/Blue as threats to their networking infrastructure. They don't want to dilute the importance of the platform their patronage systems rely on (let alone destroy it) - in fact its centrality is why they leverage it to advance their careers. Artists I can see understanding platform agnosticism to some extent, but for the other two groups, it's simply not in their DNA. The gatekeeping is a feature for them.

    'The medium is the message' as a Canadian theorist once said.
