Why is it that rich people are solemnly staring in general? You'd think they'd be whooping it up on account of being made.

- AussieWog93 3y agoProbably a case of people knowing how to reach their mouth shut climbing hierarchies faster ;)

- kortilla 3y agoRich people involved in business or politics have reputation risk and can’t be seen “letting loose”. See the Dean Scream.
- diego_sandoval 3y agoMeanwhile, Steve Ballmer: "Developers, developers, developers, developers. Developers, developers, developers, developers!!! Yes!!!"
- jowea 3y agoI think tech just works by different rules.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThat's the difference between being almost, but not quite at the top, vs. actually being there. Dean would've fared differently if he won first, and then did his scream. But either way, both Dean's and Ballmer's examples are marketing stunts, a calculated performance - that's entirely different to rich people honestly letting loose at a concert.
- sireat 3y agoOver the years I've heard that Ballmer really is like that quite often. Notice how he is at Clippers games. Sure it is part stunt, part performance but it also personality.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoFair. But I'll still write this off as stuff you can get away with once you're on top, but not while on your way there.
- watwut 3y agoPoorer people who would just stare do not buy tickets. Simple as that. When the price gets very high, you are filtering attendees by who has a lot of money - not by enthusiasm. If the ticket is cheap for me, I can go even if I don't like the band too much. And with very expensive tickets, many enthusiasts won't pay while rich non-enthusiasts are bigger part of audience. Meanwhile, if tickets are cheaper but you have to jump hoops to get them, you get enthusiasts.
