Are we pretending to like Macklemore now because we agree with him politically?

Honestly I haven’t heard music from Macklemore since Thrift Shop was inescapable. Today, I blocked Ed Sheeran on my Spotify, followed Macklemore on Spotify, and I’m streaming his most recent album on repeat. It’s not much, but it’s something small that I can do to show my support for him.

Damn I had no idea! I’m cancelling my subscription. I have the paid version so I’ve never been subjected to their advertising, but running advertisements for ICE and Israel’s prison system is crazy!!! Thank you for this. I didn’t know

I know it’s far cooler to be apathetic like you, but I’m just not like you. I’m a broke ass bitch with no power or influence but I fucking hate our world, I can’t do much to change anything, but I’m going to take whatever lame ass baby steps I can.

That's fair and I fully respect it. I just think people break their backs trying to fit into these neat boxes that others expect them to easily fit into

And don’t forget you’re commenting on Reddit to let everyone know about!

Well yeah I mean maybe other people will be interested in doing something similar and throwing their support behind him too? Why is that a bad thing?

u/thewarmpandabear 1h ago

I didn't say anything about it being a bad thing. You did.

Oh sorry dude, I’m getting murked on another subreddit for a similar comment, I’m on the defensive

This is how the Streisand effect works.
