Why does no one like Justin Bieber

[Mr Tree]

Let me see his music sucks for 1, second his antics.

His music has little to no bearing on the person itself, so I'll take it as a sidenote but it really isn't a reason to call someone a whatever you called him

His antics, I can see why I also loved his escapedes his I can do what I want attitude. Sadly that's gone and now he's a devout christian (a.k.a. boring).

It's "cool to hate." I'm not into Bieber, just not my style. I think there are far worse musicians. Cough, cough... Nickelback. Cough, cough... Coldplay. Anyway, why do you care what people think of the music you like? I like classic rock that no one my age listens to anymore.

**** Bieber is all I gotta say, what a damn ****.

May I ask why?

Surely this was meant as "why would you dig up this thread when it was resting peacefully".

Spoiler: Mod remove if it is not nice

Before I clicked on the spoiler I thought it was going to be about the late Osama Bin Bieber.

Poor Justin Bieber wants to be relevant again by encouraging his fans to manipulate the music charts.

The irony is that coverage of this is unlikely to do anything but increase streaming instances and purchases beyond those that would have occurred without this coming to light, resulting in higher charting.

I constantly see people doing stuff like that and don't really see a problem with it. It's not like Bieber (or any other artist) being #1 on the charts has any effect on the music I listen to.

I feel bad for him. Yeah he’s wealthy beyond the imagination of most... but he’s clearly not happy.

I guess it's the reverse Streisand effect.

He also said the other day he has Lyme Disease.

I guess it's the reverse Streisand effect.

I think it's more a case of doing something resulting in something having been done. Attention was brought to it and so attention was brought to it.

I don't imagine there's a term for that, because it just...is.

Edit: Shortest possible self-fulfilling prophecy?

Well yes I do know. But usually its solely by the extremely dedicated fans that's unconnected to the artist. The fact that the artist himself encouraging it is quite a ballsy move as Spotify and Apple can implement some form of punishment to the artist now that they have proof of his involvment.
