I think she does a lot of things to help the overall artist community but they don't really cost her anything. If anything, they improve her reputation by standing up for others. And with things like pushing back against payments from steaming services, she stood to gain as much if not more than other artists.

The real test is whether she is willing to do things that might cost her money or make her life more difficult. I'm guessing the answer is no.

Swift and a bunch of her buddies who have the biggest tours need to get together and say they're not using TM. Of course, they might lose a little money and maybe couldn't even play some cities if there isn't a large non-TM venue.

I wanted to like Power and, on paper, it seemed like a show right up my alley, but it was simply not good. Meanwhile, BB is generally considered one of the best shows of all time.

Caruso was really good on NYPD Blue but was gone after the first season because he demanded more money. He left, the show was a massive success for a long time and his career was non-existent until he got CSI Miami. Few people get a second chance like that.

I had a hard time finishing it. The interesting thing about Jack Ryan is he is a reluctant hero. He finds himself in intense situations and rises to the occasion. In much of season 2 and 3 he is more of an action hero which simply isn’t that interesting.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons, despite the plot issues with season two. I'm finishing episode 5 of season 3 now and find myself a little bored. I suppose I might just not be in the right mood. There are the same basic elements from the first two seasons but it's just not pulling me in.
