"Had to" seems the wrong phrase. First world problem if I ever heard one.

"Had to" seems the wrong phrase. First world problem if I ever heard one.
- waboremo 4y agoI don't believe there's any point in debating semantics or dismissing the topic of discussion based on it being a "first world problem".
- MichaelZuo 4y agoI think it's a fair point to raise, 'had to' implies some form of compulsion or fixed process or unmovable obstacle in any context I've heard of.
- afavour 4y agoI don't really understand the objection here. Must we couch everything with "of course in the grand scheme of the world and poverty and famine it isn't a big deal, but..."
- bheadmaster 4y agoBe grateful - at least you weren't born in an AI-controlled human farm created to inflict as much suffering onto humans as possible. Poverty and famine are only a reflection of your privilege as a free human.
- darkerside 4y agoThat was a distracting side comment on my part. My real objection is that it's silly to characterize the artist as a victim. They had the opportunity to leverage other people's work, both technical and musical, to get eyeballs they likely never would have otherwise gotten. To me, saying it's "disappointing that they had to" feels wrong almost to the point of being offensive.
