How many 15 year old zoomers who didn't give a flying fuck about politics before are now like "wow I love president trump, he saved tiktok!"?

such a fucking obvious propaganda play that so many people will absolutely fall for

This is also why I vastly prefer to engage with YouTube via #NewPipe instead of the actual web UI. That damn engagement algo works on me. I /will/ click 4 or 5 videos in one sitting that all started from something on my home page. With NewPipe, I only watch a video if I'm seeking it out on purpose.

"Made for you" "Based on things you like" and so on are the exact opposite of how I want to consume media.

I think this is why I've never been even remotely interested in TikTok. I have no interest in sitting at the trough and eating up whatever slop comes down my assigned conveyor belt.

This is another big plus for physical media / "digital archiving" -- it's all curated by me, for me. Or by a friend for me, which is even better. No engagement-maximizing algorithms, just genuine interest.

I think Bombur pissed Bilbo off at some point and that's why he's always described as fat in The Hobbit every time he's mentioned

it's so fucked up how the term "redpilled" means "became a nazi" when it originally comes from a movie written by two trans women and was clearly a HRT allegory

say what you will about masto devs, at least they aren't intentionally flooding the fediverse with fake genai accounts to create the illusion of community and drive "engagement"

"Coffee Badging" is the most made-up RTO ruling class bullshit term I've ever heard of.

Fuck "Now a major motion picture~!!" book editions. Don't replace perfectly suitable cover art with a generic movie poster.

I do kind of want one for Eragon though, only because that movie is such a horrible adaptation and I'd laugh every time I see it

One of the search engine use cases that worries me the most regarding crappy AI summaries being presented before anything else:

"is $FOOD safe for my dog"

If $FOOD is something like grapes/raisins/onions/garlic, someone who isn't tech-literate enough to know that LLMs make shit up might end up killing their dog. Or rather, I'd go so far as to say Google killed their dog. Hell, it's probably happened already.

I hate it when podcasters say shit like "We hope you enjoyed your break!"

No, I didn't enjoy mashing the +15sec button and hearing .2 seconds of way too loud creepy AI voice Amazon Prime ads and then skipping the next 7-8 seconds of the actual content I'm here for.

I get it, podcasts make no money. But god I fucking hate podcast ads.

My wife and I just saw Jon Snow die in the mutiny yesterday. I like to read a character's wiki entry after they die because it's usually pretty safe from spoilers.

"Jon Snow, born Aegon Targeryan"

excuse me

"...killed in a mutiny and later resurrected"

JESUS CHRIST (pun intended)

closed that shit in a hurry lmfao
