The hate is proportional to the level of betrayal people feel. These people are scum(Amazon execs). Dave and the band rewarded them with a special people only concert for being extra parasitic on society. Shame is not unwarranted here.

I mean, I'm not exactly giving FF a pass here but rewarded is factually incorrect considering FF was paid to do the gig. The show wasn't some free pat on the back for the execs doing such a great job.

True but it's not like it was a life-changing payoff. If they didn't do this gig they could have been paid for a regular gig.

Again, not giving them a free pass. Just pointing out the terminology used is an overstatement.

Fair enough
