TV, movies, music, video games, the internet, what’s next to carve out and ruin?
Fuck. Ain’t that the truth.
if the admins ever get an offer for VC funding, they better post that shit straight to the dunk tank or we riot
Someone offered to buy the site a while back and the Twitter DMs were indeed posted
My one “the kids are wrong” take is when I was a kid, selling out was bad, but now it seems that it’s celebrated.
The fans are happy that their favourite creators are getting the bag in a world where that’s impossible with just an average salary, I think it’s sweet. I do this too though I don’t really have any creators I like
No doubt getting the bag is nice, but when millennials were kids the selling out part was considered bad not because getting the bag is bad in itself but because getting the bag usually means changing the nature of the art to make it more marketable. It means answering to the rich guys handing you the bag. I just miss that acknowledgement, that the art would be inevitably watered down by appeal to larger markets.
Steve Wozniak and the iPhone and Mac Computers
I would say Steve Woz is probably the one millionaire who isn’t a complete dipshit and who I’ll defend sometimes. His primary goal was to just make computers and share it with people, he got cheated and lied to by Jobs who he thought was a friend, he begrudgingly let Jobs turn his products into a business venture, and he became wealthy.
Now that’s he’s rich, he just fucks around and goes on interviews sometimes. He doesn’t do motivational speeches or pretends to be some tech guru like Musk. And I’m sure he showers. I don’t think he’s been in the loop with new tech, but he still seems genuinely interested in it from the technical side which is rare for knowledgeable people who become rich and alienated from their field
It’s posts like this that makes me be unable to enjoy anything at all for a few days
