I’m kinda tired of reading news about Amazon sponsoring this festival. It’s not like this is the first time a corporation supporting a music event. Why has it become an issue all of a sudden?
This is a very legit question. Do we continue to fund, with our attendance, music festivals that are owned and or sponsored by corporations we despise? I have wrestled with this ethical dilemma myself. I buy shit from Amazon, I admit. I try not to buy that much shit. But sometimes I needs it, and they have it, and they can get it to me for cheap and quick. I know, I'm going hell. But I don't buy from Walmart. So I guess I would go to a festival funded by Amazon but not Walmart.
Do not attempt to make any sense in my logic. Or apply it to yourself.

All ethics aside, I just read the article and it’s terrible. “First were books then the kindle. First dvds, now streaming.” Where was the hit piece on computer companies when they were putting typewriter manufacturers and repair shops out of business. We got bigger problems we all pretend to be ignorant about here than who pays the dj’s to come make the live untz happen. Let’s just go back to talking about how good the lineup is and who’s going?

I don't really have an idea in how big the actual influence is on the organisation side of Amazon on this but imo there's a big difference in when an organisation (like Lollapalooza, Primavera, Coachella etc) is seeking money from whatever brand to fund their festival or let them have a brand stand on the field and a brand doing it themselves. And even then there would still be a massive difference between a Budlight or Red Bull funded festival and Amazon.

You’re right, Bud light kills a ton of people so it’s way worse.
No, Bud Light doing it is worse because their beer is terrible and festivals will then rarely give you good alternative drink options.
But isnt that at every festival that gets sponsored by a beer brand? (Unless they have a special beer bar installed ofcourse with some heavier beers). Dutch festivals are often Heineken only whilst Belgian festivals are most of the time Jupiler.

Right, but Bud Light is way worse than Heineken and Jupiler.
Coachellas highest up is a shit head, Day for Night and FYF were run by monsters, live Nation and ticket Master are the devil, not super concerned with AWS really.

I personally feel the gov should be upholding the ethical standards of major corporations and consumers should not have to pick easy, cheap, and quality service over feeling bad about what they are doing.
Obviously that is not realistic under the current administration but we live and stupid times and I believe in speaking things into existence so here we go

You really haven't spelled out your unique issue with this situation beyond just saying it's different than others and bad.
