FYI: Ed Sheeran is a scab. - Lemmy.world

Willing to bet he knew nothing about the union issues and was just there for the Album PR. His manager said “Be here at this date and time and serve coffee and you’ll get a few more million album sales”
Probably, but still a dumb PR stunt. Why would anybody think serving coffee would boost album or concert ticket sales?
Its got people talking about it. Seems like a pretty successful PR stunt to me.
Talking about it doesn’t necessarily mean people are buying concert tickets because of it.

It’s PR that’s working very well but you just don’t get to see it. If you read the article, why makes sense. His new album and the associated concert have a fall theme with autumn in the name.

The bland as fuck white-girls and yoga-chick types who love those crappy drinks are also far more likely to listen to this fucker. It’s mass appeal for all these future Karens who are now happy that they 1, got their shitty lattes sooner; 2, got it served by the singer who writes all their shitty pop songs; 3, are now aware and have a stronger memory regarding this upcoming tour.

Does he even write his songs?

I looked it up. He writes the words over another guy’s music. rollingstone.com/…/ed-sheeran-lawsuit-new-album-j…

Rolling Stone
To be fair, and I am not comparing the two at all because you can’t compare Ed Sheeran with him, but Elton John only writes lyrics too. Bernie Taupin writes most of Elton John’s music.

The bland as fuck white-girls and yoga-chick types who love those crappy drinks are also far more likely to listen to this fucker.

Said the person who definitely went to Starbucks regularly before the whole union thing.
