remember when industry plants were “planted” and rarely talked about or showed signs of being planted? in my country (somewhere in the eu) we have a specific problem. musicians are built up from within the system ,tv stations and big capital rarely even hide the fact anymore, the whole eurovision concept has been pushed to its limits, with the system “creating” artists on an annual basis. obviously, ou’re going to ask me: why the fuck do you even care. plants have existed since the dawn of mass media but nowadays they are not even hiding it. tv channel ads on music videos ,EXTREME advertising of “sponsors” who also own said tv broadcasting stations, which stations themselves are owned by the same people who own the banks. and on top of that, a systemic push for the “quality” of said music. i’m sick and tired of people turning the blind eye on the system promoting itself to us while being led to believe that it’s all separate.
