LTxPromo on twitter is also a rad Louie who despises Harry. She keeps the account somewhat professional but occasionally throws tantrums over Harry when his music does better than Louis and say he is trying to sabotage him. Then she'll delete the posts after. Unfortunately Louis follows her. She has a tumblr account under a different name and is friends with Sea. Part of that crowd that thinks Harry is trying to ruin Louis' career.

Yikes! I added a proper tag for all the nasty solo UAs on Twitter. I’m not surprised that these people who don’t share our views (which is fine) also turn out to be massive assholes. There’s a pattern.

I followed this account, but I have blocked them now. Thank you for letting me know! 💜

In reference to the other Louis UAs whose admins are nasty, hate Larries, hate Harry, hate One Direction, made sure HLD got blocked.

Sea, do we have a numbers of how much profit Louis made form his merch? I bet it’s quite a big number as well

There is a way to tell from calculating the # sold on Louis’ merch site x the average merch purchase, but that doesn’t account for the merch sold at tour venues.

If we do a back-of-the-envelope calculation estimating that 50% of concert attendees bought some merchandise, and spent at least $50, then the $merch is about 1/2 of the gross revenue of tour.

However, merch has a much higher profit margin compared to tour costs. So the overall profit to Louis will be higher.

By the way, tour costs are very high.

So we can see why a concert grossing €250k can end up netting only 10% or less for the artist. The merch margin is much higher, with profit of 50% or better.

It's moments like these where Sterre is truly, terribly missed. I would so love to hear her thoughts and insight.

You can read the threads on LTxPromo, which are very informative and are really the most reliable re: industry information.

Louis must have contacted that rad UA account. We know he dms with fans, and has confronted larries in the past. What other reason would a popular account who had Louis' approval want to deactivate? We know they love getting harassment so they can continue to act like a victim so that's not it, and larries supported their defenceless project so why would they go after them. It must've been Louis saying something in private to them that disproved their tinhat fantasy

There's some rumour that they were getting nasty dms, but I very much doubt that was the reason because every Twitter user knows that you can set your dms to followers only or switch them off altogether. Louis contacting them and probably asking them to come out in support of Eleanor and Freddie is the only reason that makes sense. Sterre couldn't cope with her dystopian world vision being destroyed, so she melted down and deactivated.

Why do I get the feeling that anon talking about getting the solo Louis UAs down is L*rrie-

I don’t have any speculations, but fandom has always been, and is, extremely toxic and invasive— even criminal— not only of the boys but of other fans. The psychology is damaged and trauma-inducing.

Please update us on the Louie ua situation if you can, thank you.

I wish them peace from here on, and hope they can enjoy Louis without harassment. I don’t know anything more, and am unlikely to find out more. Sorry.

What happened to ltxpromo? They were the best ua, are they ok?

This was the last message.

The UA account has deactivated on Twitter. There was a message on Curious Cat threatening to take down Louis’ solo UA accounts, but I really don’t know the situation.
