'What’s happening is not organic': Why the right thinks Taylor Swift is a government PsyOp designed to swing the 2024 election
'What’s happening is not organic': Why the right thinks Taylor Swift is a government PsyOp designed to swing the 2024 election
The only Swift conspiracy I believe is that she and the NFL fabricated her relationship with Travis Kelce to cross-pollinate the fan bases.
The NFL fabricating stories for views / clicks / likes?!?!
Never!!!
Cuts to Taylor at a football game
Cuts to demar Hamlin - tho he did die
Cuts to Josh Dobbs and his degree
Cuts to Jackson mahomes
Etc.
I firmly believe that the NFL absolutely drives a narrative, creates drama, has the referees keep games close for views and latches on to anything that makes news and drives viewers.
The games exist to only serve us ads... :/
Ohhhh that's why football got huge, like, turned into a full on human meat grinder industry huge. Because advertisers wanted more eyeballs, so they started pumping money in.
Wild how capitalism effects everything like that x.x
Not sure I would have ever put that together without your "the game exists to only serve us ads" quip. Like, there's naturally big, but when advertising gets involved, it becomes gigantic, whatever it is.
Yeah I hate to put it that way... But last year with the demar Hamlin deal and then the whole Taylor swift deal this year and how overboard everything has gone with it... It just really drove home that they just want to drive a narrative that gets eyes on the screen.
Alabama being in the college football playoffs over Florida State is the same thing for the NCAA. Saban is marketable and a household name outside of the sec. Which is why he's on Aflac commercials... So of course bama gets into the playoffs. Marketing and views.
Perhaps I'm just jaded, perhaps I'm wrong. But it really doesn't feel like I am. :(
It's also a game that works for advertising better than many others. Games like basketball want to keep things moving all the time. Now, the NBA does tend to stop everything a lot, but it's unnatural to the game and fans hate it. Nobody plays a pickup game of basketball in a park like that.
American Football inherently stops and starts, so there's more places to stick commercial breaks.
That and - I am going from memory here, so apologies if it’s not 100% correct, but you will get the idea:
Isn’t that somewhat related to why the military does flyovers and things for some games? It’s a way of recruiting via advertisement.
Please correct me if I’m getting it wrong.
Correction: the games used to exist to serve ads. They now exist to create gambling addicts.
Damn that's so true.
¿Por que no los dos?
Capitalism seeks to squeeze every dollar out of every person by every means all the time.
The NFL fabricated her relationship with Travis Kelce to cross-pollinate the fan bases.
I totally believe this too. I bet this was supposed to culminate in a Superbowl halftime show. She declined to headline it tho so maybe not. Maybe she'll be a surprise appearance if the chiefs or eagles are there.
But no matter the plan the relationship smells super fake.
Edit: yo, downvoters, but seriously, why? I keep rereading what i wrote and i don't get what's angering peeps?
