imagine you regularly go to your favorite ice cream shop for their amazing 7-layer sundaes. they start tinkering with the recipe but it's still good.
one day you show up & they hand you a bowl of just sprinkles.
"wtf is this?" you say.
"we decided to focus on selling the individual ingredients instead of whole sundaes. enjoy!" they say.
you try to warn the next customer but they call YOU the asshole because "sundaes are forever! support all the ingredients!"
this has been a BTS metaphor.
