I don't know what you are arguing here. You say you understand the fans viewpoint, but then why frame it differently?

Sure, artists have the right to sell out. And fans have the right to criticise them for it, and their reputation with the original fan base damaged. What else are you arguing?

Understanding something does not mean agreeing with something.

I disagree with the idea that artists should be shamed for selling out.
