A company that effectively owns all the venues for events is a de facto monopoly.
I don't believe Ticket Master/Live Nation owns (many, any?) of the venues, but you're right that they do have exclusivity for selling tickets at said venues, for pretty much any and all events that matter to those venues.

But the fact that that calculation is going on is fucking insane and we should all be freaking the fuck out right now
As I heard someone say recently - we're now towards the end of that authoritarian playbook, not the beginning of it. Should've been freaking the fuck out long ago.

Another thing I would love to see more of is virtual tickets where I could buy a streaming ticket for the night and watch the show from home. I think it would take some of the sting out of not being able to get tickets or afford them.
I can see in the future some sort of "VR concert" where you can "attend" (by wearing a VR set) a live event, and experience it as, say, a front-row spectator.
They would still exist as live events, but be less 'luxury good' only available to the rich/lucky few.
Kinda like how the VCR lifted the limits of how you can view movies, etc.

Sam Altman Says Bots Are Making Social Media Feel 'Fake'. [....] Sam Altman had an epiphany on Monday: Bots have made it impossible to determine whether social media posts are really written by humans, he posted. [...] Altman surmises, "The net effect is somehow AI twitter/AI Reddit feels very fake in a way it really didn't a year or two ago."
Bots make social media feel fake? It makes it fake.
Like, WTF does this typical rich white asshole think the " social " part of "social media" is anyways?
And he's just had an 'epiphany' on this? What a fucking dumbass he is.
