Date: July 4th, 2025 12:06 PM Author: aqua state d money. i understand that actors were always just sort of weird pedophiles that roamed around doing useless work but they were huge fucking celebrities in the 90s and made infinite money. musicians often have actual talent and got to live the rockstar lifestyle. these days it seems like pro athletes are just running circles around the other two groups.

Athletes perform more dates per year, you have the live event plus TV. Two streams of revenue. And then gambling. You can't bet on movies.
The average NFL game brings in 67,000,000.
A big movie might bring in a lot more but you have so many more people to pay between making the thing and marketing.
But then you don't have another movie next week. You're done. You can't crank out a blockbuster every week. |

Also athletes always have the possibility of suddenly and out nowhere losing their career in an instant through injury. |

To be fair actors are all on roids, T, diet pills, and weird fuckin diets and shit to look like Hugh Jackman or something with your shirt off probably a similar amount of work. |

Date: July 4th, 2025 12:27 PM Author: Cordovan Field I have absolutely no idea how they don't go insane playing the same songs every night. Imagine being Oliver Anthony and you have One Song that you play every night. Just going around the country and having to play Rich Men North of Richmond over and over. How do you not lose your mind after the 10th time and you have 200 more tour dates? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5746084&forum_id=2...id#49071760) |

Date: July 4th, 2025 12:56 PM Author: Cordovan Field This is true but to be fair to Shlomo Shekelstein he is creating value here. Sabrina has no idea how to compose hit songs, has no idea how to formulate a social media identity or write and direct music videos. Has no personal connections to get into Super Bowl ads and shit. This is a 100% win for her having no talent beyond looking pretty and she didn't even have to make an OnlyFans or have any personality or individuality. Hymie made her out of thin air. She was just a pretty face who could sing somewhat in tune and she won the audition lotto.
Now take a band like Pearl Jam that likely own everything outright by this stage and do a stiff business of touring and merch. They make a killing and everyone knows they did it their own way and weren't some prefab corporate nonsense. They're crushing it financially. |

Date: July 4th, 2025 9:18 PM Author: Cordovan Field A band you've never heard of can make $5000 a night filling a 2000 seater. Most "bands" are solo artists now, virtually no "bands" exist anymore unless they're really old and established. That's grossing $625 an hour if you worked an 8 hour day. Now figure a lot of bands tour 200 nights a year. It really adds up. And these are bands with niche audiences. Now imagine you have any type of household recognition it just goes up from there. The hard part is getting famous and developing an act people want to see, but if you can find a few thousand people in every city who want to hear you over and over you're going to live in a giant house and your kids will never go hungry.

Date: July 4th, 2025 9:46 PM Author: Cordovan Field I've seen bands that were atrocious and had absolutely no ability to play in the most niche subgenre but their merch was the most elaborate shit imaginable. I actually know several bands where the art is better than the music. I knew this other band where the guys couldn't play at all but their merch looked like something out of Supreme like hoodies for $200. I told them they should quit music and go into design and they were like FUCK YOU NO WE'RE A BAND but they could not play for shit.

They write these contracts out so that Jews get a BIG WIN if the artist dies. They just pray for fent so they get a big windfall. Now imagine you're a teenage dindu with instant money and fame.
