There is no organic way to make a musician blow up, the industry can put rocket-boosters on someone but 99/100 it doesn't work out. When it does work it out, it seems so simple and obvious that it fools people into thinking they can blow up anyone.
Counterpoint: The target crowd for Rich Men is insanely credulous and extremely easy to manipulate, and has literally 0 capacity for detecting astroturfing
