Yes it literally does. Disappointed to see OP approach this with such bad faith—it’s clear you don’t want to have your predetermined conclusions challenged. :(
This is an open-ended question, and there have been tons of useful, insightful answers that have changed my views if you cared to read, as to why this particular pop star, who doesn't seem to differ much from most other pop stars, is rewarded so much more and is so much more popular.
Yes, people like her music, but that isn't the question, which is why do people like her music?
Why are Israel and Palestine fighting?

I wish people would stop using the goalposts comment when you obviously don't know what it means.
Let's look at these three questions.
What are the mechanisms that explain Taylor Swift's popularity?
What are the mechanisms that explain Taylor Swift's recognized popularity?

Pretty on message.
If you look at the threads of this post, you'll find the most people recognize that and are contributing to the answer.
someone provides their answer to number #1 and you dismissed it without evidence. i find this gross and in bad faith; this is all im pointing out. 👍
Do you want to provide any evidence for that? I've answered tons of people who have answered the first question, and for the most part we've had engaging conversations and many of them have contributed to the overall answer.
And that's not all you're pointing out. You repeatedly are inaccurately attacking the merits of my questions or comments rather than responding to the questions or comments.
If you consistently encounter a lot of "bad faith" arguments to your comments that are provably in good faith, you should probably look a little closer to home for where those bad faith arguments lie.
