If you release a song and get a few thousand streams everyone is really happy for you. But if you release a song and get ten million streams…
When you get a little too famous, the people (and media outlets) who have known about you for a while but haven’t bothered to comment suddenly start saying how much you suck…now you’ve woken up the beasts. Now some people are talking about hating your band. Now you think ‘everyone’ is out to get you. Now you think maybe it was better when people weren’t saying mean things.
But it wasn’t better back then. You just got a little too famous and started getting a reaction out of a bigger pool of people….which includes the type of people who wait for you to get just famous enough to where they feel esteem and stature in their putdown.
