Hot take: It's all about the money

Strictly my opinion here but it seems the Blink fan teet is being milked for all it's worth. It was reported in 2018 that To The Stars was almost $38 million in debt. Tom claimed that was based on stock compensation. It's now a shell of an organization now. After reading Marks book, it seemed like the band as a whole took advantage of the opportunities they had and it worked out well for them. Tom took it to a different level though and always was trying to make one more dollar.

One more time came out and they did a tour. Then One More Time Part 2 came out, another tour but really no songs from that album were played and I think its a pretty unremarkable album. I've lost track now but is this tour 3 or 4 since getting back together? Reading comments about the start of this tour and on night 2 it's 2 less songs and they're rushing through it. Is there some truth to Tom's debt, personal guarantee(?), that Mark and Travis are doing him a solid. This thought came to mind when reading about the dogs eating dogs chapter and Tom wanting to roll it out on his platform. I might get nuked for this but it's just a thought.
