The space at a concert is limited so some form filtering will have to happen, but if the only metric is market price that's a pretty sad society specially when we're talking about culture IMO
The way I see it, it is also highly likely that the person paying more is of average income and just convinced themselves to pay more because they are superfans
Like most discussions of "woke" and "wokeness," this one too fails HARD by not fully and directly addressing the origins of the term -- and by "fails hard" I do mean will almost certainly do more obscuring than clarifying by starting from an information-deficient premise.
Including, e.g. "The term 'woke' has its origins in the Black American community as a signifier of awareness about ones political and social situation..." is a bare minimum.
It makes sense to keep some high performers and a few redundancies to stabilize/modernize it and make small improvements, but it feels like tech got really bloated with these massive corps who were trying to burn as much as they could to keep all the VC money flowing. Take like Uber having a team that built and maintained a chat app just for internal use, and every single big org having a bunch of teams responsible for various "some_dumb_name" that is the "custom X for 'Y'" where smaller teams just use the OS solutions to those problems.
What do you mean by this? How do you find the old internet?
Things can go wrong without people scheming to do evil. It's not helpful to twist "these and these circumstances combined to produce a bad outcome" into a plan description unless you bring at least some evidence that it was, in fact, planned to go like that.
