Matty Healy speaks out against paid meet & greets.

Who came up with payed meet and greets? Did they think "Surely there must be something else we can monetise........OH! Human connection!! They'll eat that up!"

MEET YOUR FANS OR DON'T

DON'T ONLY MEET THEM IF YOU'RE GETTING PAYED HONESTLY WHAT ARE YOU DOING

You can't be big enough for people to want to pay to meet you whilst not being big enough to pay for touring. Its a paradoxical excuse for making MUSIC EXLCUISVE.

I think the problem is that a lot of artists don't understand how brutal it is, because MAJOR LABELS have normalised it. So MAJOR LABELS should change it. They should make all fans pay in cash - directly to the artist. They should literally hand over the $200. Would soon stop x https://t.co/bHhnUo5SvJ

some artists do it bcos touring costs so much etc but I also think it’s depressing af and im surprised at how many artists (who don’t need the money?) do it https://t.co/8ObG7tW8NH

I don’t mean to shade other artists, we’re all part of the music industry which (like all business?) is based on extracting money from ppl, we get income from other areas so We could afford to lose some money.
