There is no way I'm going to allow myself to work for the machine by sitting with my laptop refreshing all day long for what? Bragging rights?! Cause that's what it really comes down to to fans that only care about numbers. "It's for Gaga. She needs to be on top." No she doesn't. YOU think she wants that because you grew up brainwashed by the machine to think that's all that matters. Think for a second!! On your own, about what truly matters to HER. When has she EVER said "thank you" for breaking records? She appreciates our support by being positive people who love her music and HER, not stupid numbers that the corporations care about.
Have you not seen Gaga's recent interview? Talking about these numbers that drive the industry, that make or break the artists which is wrong. Artists should be celebrated by quality of work and not number of sales - number of fans, number of awards. Enjoy the art and don't think about the numbers. Watch it because you want to and not because you "have to".
Just with this post, it shows how little monsters didn't understand ARTPOP message. We don't care about the number, it's not like this that she's going to be proud of you, it's to love, creating and be yourself which is important. This "mission" is so useless...
