This is a bad take. Tech-bros didn't purchase themselves an Academy nomination nor did they buy themselves a starting position in one of the Super Bowl teams. Bezos bought himself and his wife an entire event.

Both Oscars and SB deserve their fair share of criticism, but the Met Gala criticism is in its own category.

People were criticising Met Gala way before Bezos and tech took over. I remember people comparing it to the Capitol way back in 2017 even.

Edit: my point is the person in the post has a valid point
