PLEASE READ IF YOU’D LIKE

I am a high school drop out with severe depression and anxiety.
I’ve been trying to get a job for 4 months now so I can finally start to get my life rolling.

I shared this photo with my friend not even 2 days ago and now I start work at a 5 star hotel tomorrow morning.

I just thought maybe some people should know.

Know that like, some good can come out of life too.

I’ll just… never understand creators of musicals specifically making their followers feel guilty for watching a bootleg. Like sure, it’s one thing for creators of movies to be like “Can you please just pay $5 to go to the movie theater to see this so we get paid for our hard work?”. But your tickets cost $1000 a piece because it’s always sold out and require hundreds of dollars in traveling and hotel fees, Lin. 

How bout instead of “You’re disrespecting me” try “I’m so sorry you have to watch this shitty quality recording of this art I made that you’re literally dying to get your hands on, thank you so much for loving what I created and I promise I’m trying to get it to you affordably asap so you can truly experience it.”?

But idk, that’s just me.

I’d also like to add:

Why not make recordings and sell them through you, so you get the money you deserve and you art can still be appreciated? If someone can’t afford to go to a show, they probably won’t be able to afford it for the next few years, even if they would save up as much as they possibly can. Moreover, I don’t think that anyone who can afford it would rather buy a recording than see the real deal. With that you would also be able to capture many different shows over the years and still be able to watch musical that have gone out of production for new ones for example, and you could still profit off of them.
