This is the modern “musical” equivalent of share buybacks and dividends — you’ve played the “market” and defrauded the purchasing public by conjuring a big nothing in the commercial realm. It’s why stock buybacks were illegal until Reagan. Moreover — in the realm of arts, artists are presumed to produce “art” and given “acceptable” means of promotion…said art is placed before the masses for “approval.” NOT BOTS presumably rigged to drive the market for said “artist.”
