First of all, I cannot believe Justin fucking Bieber made the comeback he has. Cannot believe it. I thought for sure he was done, and all the face-saving actions of the Carpool Karaoke and Comedy Roast wouldn't do shit. How wrong I was. Turns out though, that even though he's got his fanbase back again, he's still an ungrateful, hateful little prick. Perhaps even more than he ever was. It must be a tiring life for someone like Bieber. Get your songs written for you. Turn up on stage, sing along to a backing track, get paid. Exhausting stuff. So it's understandable that he just can't stomach those meet and greets with his idiotic, screaming fans. Last week, the singer posted a message to Instagram explaining that he would no longer be doing meet & greets with fans after shows. "I enjoy meeting such incredible people," he explained, "but I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people's spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy."
He added, "Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression .. The pressure of meeting people's expectations of what I'm supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders."So you're not going to meet the fans that keep you in stupid hats and baggy pants. Fair enough. But hey, you can still make money off them.. Not a joke. Not the Onion. His label still charged $2,000 to "meet" Justin Bieber. A cardboard cut-out of Justin Bieber. And yet he still has fans.

Hold on, hold on, hold on... These people KNEW they were paying to "meet" a cardboard cutout, or the label scammed the fans?

I think they signed up for the actual meet and greet thing, but then Bieber said he didn't want to do it anymore and THAT was the solution.

So this is a new low for the music industry. Also, "filled with other peoples' spiritual energy"? If you can think of a more nonsensical and pretentious way to say "you people make me sick" I'd love to hear it.
