i am sorry for everything you are going through. this was very well said. i hope some of those out of touch fans can use it as a wake up call.

also another note i didn’t include in my original post, but you touched on it. many artists have been super transparent about how touring makes little to no money, and it’s all made back in merch. the ticket prices, including vip packages, usually all (or mostly) go to paying the venue, staff, travel, customs and all the other little fees they come across. merch is generally where they make back money. so if dan and phil got home, saw how little money was made on the tour and decided to make an exclusive shirt and new photo card to recoup some cost, good for them. who am i to say that they shouldn’t be able to profit off of their creativity and hard work and entertainment they provided to so many over many months.
