GeminiCat Posted April 8 Posted April 8 49 minutes ago, Johnny said: Love Billie, and can't wait to own one of these vinyls, but next time she should be more careful about criticizing others for releasing multiple variants of vinyls and then do the same herself. I understand she is using recycled material, but those still use significant energy and materials to create and ship these variants that are being sold as collection items for fans, so it is still wasteful in a way that she was originally talking about having fans buy multiple versions of the same physicals. I'm not saying anything necessarily about her doing something wrong or right, but she shouldn't have been throwing stones from inside glass houses like that, it just opens her up to these accusations of hypocrisy. Honestly, even a statement promoting using sustainable materials for her vinyls would've sufficed just fine without her adding the "big artists using variants for greed/sales" angle because no matter what materials she's using, nobody is producing 9 variants and signature variant bundles for any other reason than boosting sales nnnn. Still super hyped for her album and this era but she literally just set herself up there to be dragged and get hypocrisy criticism. 3 5

The7thStranger Posted April 8 Posted April 8 You guys do realize that "recycled materials" are not always infinitely reusable, right?
Vespertine Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I like Billie and all, but the vinyl being recycled does not absolve her from being a hypocrite She's promoting mindless consumerism for the charts either way, like all the other pop stars, and "recycled" materials are just a slight improvement on what everyone else is doing. 12

Guilherme Make Love Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Not an entire thread of people saying she can´t criticize something if she does the same when herself said this... "And when it comes to variants, so many artists release them — including ME! which i clearly state in the article.” Some of ya´ll are doing the dumber ´´gotcha´´ moment i´ve ever seen lol. She said people do this for numbers, she also said she does the same, but that she want to at least do something better, which she is doing with the 100% recycled production. Swifties should care about Taylor new album that comes out in 11 days instead of keep pressed another month about an interview where Taylor wasn´t even mentioned

These pieces are then recycled and re-used for production of future discs. With Eco-Mix, every disc looks different from the last. All vinyl packaging is made from FSC® certified recycled paper/boards made 100% from post-consumer waste and recycled pre-consumer fibers. The ink used is raw plant-based and water-based dispersion varnish. In place of shrink-wrap, the sleeves are 100% recycled and re-usable. For shipping, all finished goods are packaged and shipped to depots in up to 93% recycled and 100% recyclable shipping boxes." Sticking to her original point! Swifties and their lack of reading comprehension. This woman is staying TRUE to what she said and not switching things around for money like some people do. 1 4
TROJAN Posted April 8 Posted April 8 1 hour ago, 40_L3VE said: Are people still missing her point on purpose? Unless every version has different / exclusive songs, she's not playing the same game certain other artists play, where you have to collect all variants like effing Pokemon to get the full album. eta: "...each on the same day, containing the same track-listing across the board and all produced with the most sustainable practices available..." And that's the difference - for the slow folks in the back. @TaylorFantasy Why did you downvote? Did you read it correctly? 1
