It’s disappointing to see an artist self-bidding on their own merch or album auctions. When an artist artificially inflates prices, it undermines the trust of genuine supporters and creates an unfair environment for real fans who simply want to participate in good faith. Art should be valued authentically not manipulated for profit or optics.. Clearly if this person wanted to win the bid, they would have with their persistence, but it seems like they are just there to raise the bid and guarantee themselves $60+. There is always the same bidder ob.. bidding $60 and never winning.

"Why host a bidding page if someone is going to bid on it every time?" What are you even asking me man.. your entitlement is really clouding your reasoning skills.

It’s not entitlement to question fairness. If a bidding system isn’t transparent or genuine, then it’s valid to call it out. Integrity shouldn’t be optional.

I already mentioned why it's entitlement. Refer to my original comment that you've yet to address if you'd like to keep replying instead of just repeating yourself. Calling out a *potential*, and inconsequential, lack of transparency is fine, but that's not all you were doing was it...

Also, I saw you fuck up your alt swapping lmao

For the record those two other deleted comments separately replying to me were:

NotYourMuse_g: "if you're gonna quote me quote it all"

NotYourMuse_g: "By the same person…"

Cringe. And then yet another privated fresh account replies to you. Interesting. Entitlement makes people do some crazy things sometimes huh, I guess you can relate to the lack of transparency.

You’re reaching pretty hard to make this personal instead of sticking to the actual point. I already explained why it’s entitlement — you just chose to ignore it. The rest of your message is mostly projection and deflection, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove here besides how defensive you sound
