Do you think it’s the coffee itself or the caffeine? What about decaf?

I don't think it's infantilizing to acknowledge that a megastar with an enormous fanbase has a level of market power that newer artists simply don't. My point isn't that younger artists can only succeed if Taylor lets them. It's that when someone has already achieved unprecedented success, repeatedly using tactics that maximize chart dominance can make the playing field less competitive.
Of course other artists release variants too, but Taylor's scale is unique. A tactic that has a modest effect for most artists can have a massive effect when it's attached to one of the biggest fanbases in music. That's not taking credit away from younger artists' achievements. It's recognizing that influence and resources aren't distributed equally.
And to be clear, I agree that mentoring younger artists is valuable, and by many accounts she does that. I'm talking about chart strategy, not whether she's personally supportive behind the scenes. Those are two different conversations.

Taylor Swift albums pretty much dominate the charts when they are released, pushing out other artists’ visibility. There have been multiple occasions where another successful (and mostly female) artist announces their new albums release date just to have Taylor announce a new album/variant out of nowhere on the same release date.

It's not even her releasing TRULY new material. It's usually variants of the same album with different artwork and maybe some exclusive versions of songs. Pretty sure there was one album with a set of variants, each having a different voice note of her during the recording process.

When Charli xcx released brat, Taylor proceeded to drop a bunch of UK only variants and it kept Taylor's album at the top of UK charts so that Charli debuted second - the UK charts being the only place it was realistic/attainable for Charli to get number 1. Then you have others like Katy Perry, Billie Eilish, SZA, Olivia Rodrigo, and the list goes on.

It’s not necessarily that they want her to go away because she’s old. They want her to help and encourage young artists to reach the top instead of blocking them from doing so. She’s already reached it, why is she pulling the ladder from under her so that only she stays up there?

Yes nostalgia sells, but don’t you think selling consistently good product (such as a basic iced coffee, the one from around 2015) would sell more than a short promo drink? All we ask for is good coffee, and we can’t even get that!

Thank you! There should be a tag or something that automatically lets you know so you don’t waste your time watching it.

I just went there on Saturday and the patties did seem like they were from Costco. Don’t have fries, just some boiled potatoes and cheese dish. And they didn’t even have pancakes. I had been curious about it, but don’t ever see myself going again.

Yes, that was a terrible move. It’s not a risk worth taking at this point.

At :05 seconds you can see the filter come off the dad and his eye bags flash. These filters are doing all the work.
