So they've been filming and interviewing people at the bar the past couple of weeks
One of those HGTV/TLC/Whatever shows is interested in using the bar for one of those rennovation shows
I hope they do it, we need it bad.
There are a lot of unhappy folks after those shows come through.

May Payne 3 was like 60GB in a time when games in general were 6GB.
I remember spitting out coffee and fainting when I saw the file size.

previously if you wanted to make some kind of video media you'd need to clear some rather high barriers with distribution companies
but, when you did like, everything was agreed to, you have contracts, you have rules
nowadays you can distrubute nearly anything you make to anyone with internet access for free, but there are no rules and it's subject to the whims of whoever's in charge of your platform
and you can't really just go self-distribute, I mean you can but the distribution channel remains just as important now as it did then
big money always wins, and now they're winning even harder
Why did anyone think they ever were? They're a business, not a charity
Because certain people think businesses are the end all be all of what's good for us. Or believe the hype put out by "moral" companies.
Trust the big company, they will do the right thing etc.
Now a lot of us know that this isn't true. But there are a lot of folks who still think that many businesses aren't trying to actively fuck them as hard as possible.
I tend to put more stock in companies that charge money for their services and offerings, because they are at least up front with their profit mechanism.
Google and Facebook are my least trusted companies by a fucking mile. As much as I like Apple's offerings and I trust they aren't doing fuckery with my data, I don't think they have my best interests at heart or anything - they are trying to make a buck.

Youtube is practically a monopoly for many forms of streaming. Monopolies abusing their massive market power is pretty much what you expect them to do.
MP3 also had a really cool section I haven't scene mirrored anywhere else where they played a song that adjusted the music to how far you made it in the section. Effectively trying to sound track a video game shooting to actually match up with gameplay. It was rather awesome.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
I'm not sure it was ever people thinking youtube was benevolent
but like, it democratized things somewhat and opened access to people who would never be able to produce the content they do now
so I think people just thought of it as good because it had some good effects
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
All companies sell your shit. Some just mask it more than others.
I disagree with this standard in which all companies are bad. Some engage in much worse practices than others and lumping them all together is just intellectually lazy.
Some companies use hyper-targeted demographics of who you are, what you like, and what you believe, and have such lax policies on tracking ad buys that they allow access to these demographics to foreign political adversaries.
Some companies offer pretty much all their flagship services for free because it lets them gather said demographics.
Some companies engage in flagrantly illegal activity, ala Enron, etc.
Some are massively incompetent, like Equifax.

all of the youtubers that were making their fortunes of youtube moved to twitch anyways
most of them admit they make way more now on twitch, and they can make more involved content
though I guess you have to police yourself more if you're a toxic gamer/nazi (I GOTTA RIDE THIS MEME OKAY)
Twitch is still mostly live streaming gaming and recordings of previously live streamed stuff, right? The non-gaming video creators or the non-live streaming video game creators are still reliant on Youtube to get their eyeballs on their videos.

For some people the YouTube format made more sense because things were produced episodically and not streamed live -- I was subbed to a warhammer 40k channel through YouTube to see weekly videos of their games and book reviews and so on
It was very convenient, youtube *shakes fist*

To be fair, I don't think it was illegal for facebook to sell ads on their platform to Russia.
But it should be, because it is illegal on the radio, on TV, in print, etc. and the internet has clearly risen to that level of presence in peoples' lives.
Shit should be regulated.

And facebook/everyone needs to have a human actually approving the ad buys so that when a bunch of racists Like a racial slur, an ad buyer can't use that as a term for direct marketing.
The obvious solution is to poison the well by making sure that most of what companies track is misinformation
That only works if the misinformation devalues the information they can sell instead of just being treated as accurate despite everybody knowing it is shit.
People pointing to monthly page views as a meaningful metric, views that count people who watched the video for two seconds before pausing it, bots viewing tons of ads to drive up revenue, etc.
The trainwreck job I've been working on has me dreading checking my email
I've just checked it and it turns out all work added to the document management system today, but before an as yet undetermined time this morning has been lost
Guess what I spent all morning doing

Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

Yeah, it's mostly fine for that
But they've built an environment where it's possible to make a living doing that
And they are now* screwing with that

I have failed miserably.
I backed it too.
On average, this thread was blasting along at warp 3.4
@RMS Oceanic will create the new thread
