To give Lana the benefit of the doubt about false promises, I think being on a major record label such as Interscope truly limits artists on what they can put out. When I was a Gaga stan (), she got just as excited to talk about projects that never came into fruition. Record labels absolutely suck, and I have no doubt in my mind that certain things she's talked about in the past ran into issues with the label or creative directors (Cherry MV).
But yes, certain things such as homemade music videos are absolutely things that are in her control and she could be more transparent.
