Public beef or fights involving billionaires, celebrities, or even top companies often puts them into the spotlight, attracting attention and generating increased traffic, hence, more income. My question arises as to whether you think some or most of these conflicts are genuine or intentionally crafted/orchestrated by the parties involved to maintain their prominence and financial gains.
Also, could this be considered as a strategic element of their business or career strategy? And If so, is this a good strategy?
This isn't a good strategy I must correct you, but it's a best strategy. Public needs those kind of fight and the billionaires and other entertainers know the psychology of the humans. They do everything according to the plans and all those fights are mostly fake, and they do acting only to attract the attention of the public. You know because of such conflicts many news channels are running successfully and they earn their bread and butter from such fights. On the other hand there are thousands of social media channels, and only websites, which are earning quite substantial income by publishing such conflict stories on their channels and sites.
This thing will continue this way and nothing will be changed. Even though it is a truth that those billionaires might have some problems with each other in personal life, but the way they show it on social media and online is totally crafted one. That's why they say that "The show must go on," and the same applies here, if they want to be in limelight then they will have to do such acting. Although, it isn't necessary, but you should watch the TV series "The Boys," and you will know that how they fake those stories which aren't even real. The show is based on fictional characters, but still the concept is same.
