CD players did not spell the end of live music. I have never really understood people who pay money to OnlyFans models but I do think its not just to see some boobs on a screen? its to experience a (para)social relationship with another person.
- kevinventullo 2y agoOn the other hand it is not completely trivial to determine whether a live performance is really live versus the artist lip-syncing.
- elevatedastalt 2y agoMost of the experience of a live performance (especially for pop artists) is in being there, with a crowd, and the soundscape of a giant auditorium or stadium, so the lip-syncing doesn't matter much either way.

- hmmm-i-wonder 2y agoI just don't get parasocial relationships. Do people honestly convince themselves some stranger performing on the internet in a very one way relationship somehow truly cares about them and not their ability to monetize.
