Is it unreasonable to pray this is the thing that gets young voters to actually vote?

They have plenty of reasons, this is just a clear cut example to point to and say "see? This right here is going on everywhere, and that's why things suck. This shit right here - this is the problem"

It's got attention and hardly anyone is defending Ticketmaster... They're pretty universally hated, even my conservative family members who reflexively jump up to defend businesses complain about them

I hope people will start looking at Amazon, Google, Facebook, grocery store suppliers, and everywhere else, and see the same patterns of companies racing each other to make worse products at higher prices
