WATCH: The Music Industry’s Darkest Secret

The latest in our “hey, that’s kinda interesting…” season for the Christmas week is this fascinating documentary on the music industry from youtuber Barely Sociable.

There’s a lot of fascinating talking points covered, but to me by far the most interesting was the notion that the charts are rigged, and the industry can create “number 1 hits” through various corrupt practices.

We know this goes on to this day, with companies buying bot-views for their rising stars on youtube music and spotify, and it should make us wonder just how big stars get to be big stars, and what the price for that fame might be.

Interesting stuff.

It would explain why these – shall we say “overripe”? – rock stars keep banging away into their 80s and beyond. Last time I saw Dylan (and it may have been twenty years ago now) he was so far away he may as well have been Max Bygraves who frankly would have been more entertaining. So is Bobby literally dodging the bullet?

Happy belated Christmas OG team!

I would wholeheartedly recommend the work of Sage of Quay (aka Mike Williams) on the music industry, especially his research on the Tavistock Institute in shaping the music of the past 60 years and his outstanding work on the Beatles.

His channel:

The big picture. This world is involved in a war between the Creator of all things and a created angel most of humanity either knowingly or unknowingly have aligned with the created angel…

Late to the party again OG. with the above MO, this would also apply to Candance, Cast, Dr shill Jorden paternoster, Ben Shillco and the 10.000’s of others who feed you poison daily on YT, Tictok, Brightoen, Rumble – whilst proclaiming to be Indypendance fake MsM Plus media.

It is not rocket science. Most of you are all shills. Brought and paid for whores feeding the system you pretend to oppose.

Music industry? What music?
Lotsa beats, zero melodies, vapid lyrics and wall to wall sexuality.

You mean like the NYC Comex precious metal indexes? Johnny come lately.

At Google search the highest bidder will come as top result, not the best one.

A lot of Pop music has dark strains, like Heavy Metal or Rap.
