As much as I miss seeing Britney all over TV and hearing her name constantly thrown around, we're in a new time. Just like how Britney said something about how it's time for the new blonde girls to take over. Britney's niche now is in tours and music videos (as well she should own). She just doesn't want to promote.
Maybe I'm not a "stan" in this respect, but I honestly don't care about numbers. They're cool and all, but if she doesn't wanna promote, then whatever. I don't work for/with her, so I'm not gonna worry. She can slay or flop and I'll still be sitting over here.

Though there are SO many ways to promote without putting Britney out there. So I DO get annoyed at that.
But I do get where you're coming from. It is frustrating, but I can let it go easier I suppose.
