this reminded me of a bbc think piece abt lana's "struggle to be mysterious in pop", specifically this quote
 

 
i don't think that's the only, or even the main, reason for her to do this but i wonder if it contributed to her decision. a lot of hw actresses do the no social media thing & it only adds to their glamour & mystique, and she's been burned so many times bc of it maybe she just thought 'fuck it, let's try it another way'
 
(agree that she seemed odd / sad in the video tho, my first thought before even reading comments here was that her speech was slurred & she seemed like she was about to cry throughout the whole thing)

noo lana dont delete ur social media you so sexy hahahah

Ma'am this is LanaBoards.com

How could we forget this? 
 
 

Okay but importantly, who's making a "LanaDelReyArchive" account before tomorrow!!!!!!!

I will never forget this fire selfie.
 
 

she does seem a little somber, and it's just very unexpected & weird, she has an album coming out, she's been very active otherwise, and also with the new of possibly signing to a new label, it does seem a little off... i don't think it's wrong or dramatic to speculate

This is the Lanaboards version of a funeral 

@Elle maybe a way you could keep this thread alive is maybe notifying when somebody she knows, like a family member or friend, or a member of her team, such as ben & ed, post a picture of her/with her, or about her music? 

i knaour it's not ideal but she was completely lambasted by the most insufferable people for a year. human beings are just not designed to suffer that scale of tribal dissent i can't imagine what it's like. And she's gonna be better off for this so we really did win

Don't worry lanaboards will still be here. 6 months from now, silence from Lana. 
Lanaboards post,
"I have a friend that works in a radio station in Alaska and she said they detected a signal they think originated from Lana's phone!!"

I definitely think there's more to it than her just needing to refresh from social media. Most people don't make a video about deactivating - they just do it. Also what she said about keeping her circle small seems strange to me, like something happened that made her take this action. She seemed sad too, like a genuine sadness of sorts. I'm not trying to make a conspiracy out of it because quite frankly I find it in poor taste, but there's more going on behind the scenes that we may not be aware of

I think this video message speaks to her wish to live a simple life — I wonder if having a very public, large following on social media that anyone can access at any time creates this feeling of no boundaries (even if we can control what we post, there is still some psychological element to lack of privacy).
 
I think this action could be a way of asserting control over how accessible you are, and of course, for someone with a legacy as grand and profound as Lana, that’s bound to create some internal conflict when this is your life’s work and passion. I’m sending her nothing but love and I wish her peace. 

happy birthday nicole  now where's the album

i don't think this is so much abt leaks - those can't be controlled anyway & are unofficial - but actual album / song releases by record labels that will then be considered as much a part of your official discography as what you released during your lifetime, even though you had no say in what's chosen / how it's edited or produced / etc. 
 
seeing what's happened to artists like lil peep, whose unpublished work is still being milked for a quick buck regardless of quality or artist intent, i have to say: good for her, i'd do the same.
