It’s not about percentages or watching everything. It’s about I want to watch what I want to watch, and usually that’s the opposite of the popular stuff.

Also let’s be real if we have to resort to going out physically to buy plastic disks that I’ll just immediately throw away after ripping, something is still drastically wrong.

I mean yeah it’s selfish, but it is definitely righting a huge injustice:

There is literally no customer centric way to watch these shows, or most modern media at all. Where can I literally buy shows that I can then resell. Where can I get a subscription service that’s focused on giving me the best content possible and not trying to squeeze value out of me by influencing what I watch or selling my metrics or up selling me to a bigger plan after killing the previous plan or any number of other dark practices. Where can I buy DRM free offline files of these shows so I can watch them on an airplane on my own hardware without Internet?

It’s fucked up that there is literally no way for people to buy their entertainment and not be fucked over more for trying to do it the legal way and spending money. And piracy needs to exist as a breaking point to stop these companies from getting even worse.

Didn’t the mods say they were going to do something about musk/Twitter spam?

This isn’t even about something Twitter did

This isn’t even about something Twitter might do

This is just a dude talking about what everybody knows about Twitter. And musk fans upvote anything Twitter, and musk haters upvote this out of a sense of validation that is shit.

Voting is not good for this, please ban the musk spam

WTF does “dead genre” mean? There are still people that love it and play it and want more.

The people shouting at blizzcon aren’t yelling because they need a new model and voice lines for protoss units, they are doing it because they want another RTS

Air brushing, Photoshop, and AI are specific methodologies, you can’t just use that as a generic term when that will just create more confusion and hide the meaning, especially when the difference is important due to legislation.

I never put out an article saying it was one of them definitively. I just said the style looked similar to another method.

Then why did they put the name of the latest tech in the title when it’s not even relevant

Because the article specifically said “AI”. It could have just said “edited” and left it at that is the methodology was unknown. But when the methodology is both unknown and doesn’t affect the story at all, it’s bullshit to put a potential lie in the headline just to act relevant to a different hot topic issue.

Amusement parks can’t just spin up extra servers to handle load at peak times. Video games can. Also there is not a complex economy and ranking system that pits guests against each other at an amusement park.

The comparison is not even remotely reasonable.

This looks like a bad 15 minute Photoshop job. Why does she think it was AI? Where is the proof AI was used?

Or is this just more news cycle bullshit trying to throw in the latest controversial keywords 🤔
