Spotify performs as one of the worst when it comes to creator royalties and appropriate pay.

It’s not THE worst, and these numbers have shifted since 2022. The general sentiment (that Spotify stiffs artists) is still shared by the general community.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Let the tech giants have AI & all of human knowledge. They subsidize UBI with their bubble profits. They stole everything, so seems fair?

“Extremism” and “hostility” are complete wiggle words, along with “traditional American.”

A traditional American view on race is a person of color is 3/5ths of a person. We’ve evolved past that, at least most of us with a brain & conscious have.

I don’t want ScreamingMinecraftYoutuber67 on my watch history, and yet, it’ll be there tomorrow morning.

Accounts used by multiple people enter the room.

By kids often use my account on our shared family TV. We have adults in 30s/40s, early teens, and toddlers all using YouTube for different things.

This is a stupid idea.

There’s a term in art called “authorial control.” Roger Ebert used the term to attack video games as art, saying they lacked “authorial control” and hence invalid for art.

The claim I hear in this is the AI taking away the control of the author. Yes, videos are edited, but there’s a bunch of choices made in that process. If some robot came in & started mucking around with my edits or lighting, especially without my knowledge, that’s a major red flag. YT, as a platform, already has enough problems. Invisible robots “enhancing” videos is perhaps one of the worst features they can add. Unwanted help is not help.

Somewhat irrelevant: omg, this is peak “corporate art sucks.” It’s like corporate art combined with fascist content, more than usual.

Ah the power house of the cell.

This, very much so.

Your smug response to my distaste of capitalism as a whole really changed by views. Thanks for sharing!

You forgot the part about a paywall. You need to pay to learn about the cravenness.

What if some of my parents really love red hats?

Our parents really screwed this country up:

• Worse off financially
• Lonelier
• Worse mental health
• Worse social safety net
• Less affordable homes
• Less affordable health care
• Less affordable college
• Climate is royally screwed

It feels like an older sibling who took your toy and broke it rather than parents as stewards who gave a shit about the society they leave the next group. We were taught respect, share, work with others, and then it turns out all the adults are just doing whatever selfish thing lets them get ahead. All the BS propaganda about communism taken to its extreme was true of neoliberal policy taken to its extreme. Now we slip into textbook capital Fascism and defunct cronyism.

I mean, that’s when the game really opens up and you get to focus on trade routes & skill trees.

After reading the article, it sounds like the start of a new resource in an idle game. “You now make 89 nuclei of gold every 1 hour. It lasts 1 pico second.” It’ll take a few more prestige loops until we can do full jewelry.
