The release of Ariana Grande’s new album has set off another wave of online debate about how pop stars’ bodies are judged, and Dalius Mikalauskas, a crypto and sports betting expert who tracks the attention economy closely, sees something familiar in the pattern. Every platform competing for time and focus, he argues, rewards the same deliberate self-set limits that Grande herself has now publicly demanded. From his position observing the online betting market, Mikalauskas notes that bookmakers with crypto deposit represent a fast-moving corner of online entertainment where money moves faster than ever, making self-imposed boundaries all the more important.
