I don't really hate anyone, I'm simply not bothered by those I don't like.
But as a Britney fan I do hate, in general, the fact that pop artists that came after Britney, had it much easier than Britney, in a lot of aspects.
Britney, despite all the fame and success she had, she also had a lot of detractors and people that mocked her or her music, or you know, I don't even have to mention how the media treated her, and that's without counting what her family did to her.
I mean, I know there's a lot of factors that come into play and we'll never know where her career would've gone to if it wasn't for the conservatorship, but it seems like she came out at this weird moment in time where at the beginning she was seen as too young to be recognized as a true artist, but then by the time the digital era came, she was seen as this old *** act that didn't have a place among younger/newer acts.
There seems to be a resurgence and a slight shift regarding how people see her as an artist and her music nowadays, especially after the FreeBritney movement, but even if her Spotify numbers are doing great now, I feel like they should be way higher, at the very least, everything from Circus onwards.
Like if you see the Youtube numbers of Rihanna, Katy Perry, Gaga, Taylor, etc, Britney should be at that level or even higher, everything from Womanizer on. So, I respect those other singers even if I'm not a diehard fan, they're doing their thing so good for them, I just hate that they never had to endure what Britney did, and again, leaving the personal stuff aside, the cship and so, which of course had a lot to do with her career, but they never had the amount of scrutiny or criticism, career-wise, that Britney did.
I'm glad that nowadays, older videos like Toxic, BOMT, Oops are the most watched on her channel, but they only increased their views around 2015. They should've always received that amount of views since the beginning. Or, in the other hand, the videos that used to be her most watched, like I Wanna Go, TTWE, WB, Womanizer, etc, don't get as many views anymore, when they should be at least at the same numbers as Scream & Shout.
So I don't know, it's this feeling of unfairness towards Britney that will always make me give the side eye to all the artists that came after or during the rise of the digital era.
Next insider claim will be "book ghostwriter abducted by aliens, explains delays"
It's just that Britney isn't interested in a long term involvement of things and a book is such a thing. So I guess she A just works on it sporadically or B doesn't work on it at all.
At this point I don't care, we know Britney will never be able to tell everything she might want to, as none of the involved people got sentenced or even a trial for the things she might spill, and therefore there's major liability.
It'd be easier to wait for her dad to die and then release.
