When pay is basically non existent is there a reason to be on spotify? Or is it for “exposure” in hopes of finding new fans.

I didn’t watch after Neve Campbell wasn’t brought back.

I ended up reading the webtoon because of this anime. Haven’t kept up though with the hiatuses, and finding I prefer reading a volume worth of content than a slow drip feed.

Rachel is also the best.

I uninstalled chrome. Stopped logging into YouTube. And moved to freetube on desktop. Newpipe on Android.

Site was a paywalls and had the annoying cookie permissions pop up.

But it’s $1600 Apple. Not the cheapest Mac book air.

Guess being so hostile and arrogant to customers thinking they’ll cave and buy from you doesn’t always work.

I’d go for high fps but same resolution. There’s some rhythm games that benefit from higher frames with it mostly being just scrolling notes so run on potatoes.

It pushed me more towards degoogling. Was already using newpipe on Android and ignoring the YouTube app, and now I’m on freetube on desktop. No need for Google account anymore to look at the feed I want.

I think piped is able to bypass region locks.

I feel safer with F-droid.

I stopped after season 2 and choose to only remember the first season, since ending to season 1 is a pretty satisfying wrap up the series. Season 1 is a fantastic standalone mini series.

Wait for a sale for products that you want that have gone on sale before. Saving money is the coolest.

Old habits die hard from reddit of coming for the comments than the article.

Yeah, it is interesting that with the exception of GPUs, PC parts like SSDs, hard drives, CPUs, and so on actually have felt like they haven’t increased in price in comparison to phones. If anything prices have dropped and capacities increased and speeds gotten faster for SSDs for example. Same with televisions and monitors where stuff like resolution and hz has seen improvements while being cheaper than in the past.

Game industry is bigger than movies and music combined which was not the case back in the NES era. Game industry has become a juggernaut with a huge consumer target base, and lower barrier to entry that allows for even random people being able to publish games instead of a few larger companies. Rise in production costs has been one that has been self imposed the way some studios go for big special effects blockbusters because they are targeting billions. Meanwhile like with movies you get these indie 2D and last gen 3D looking games being hits right alongside these billion dollar company attempts.

I guess one area you can look at is how niche products get priced lower like mechanical keyboards, and then once productions starts ramping up and things go mainstream suddenly these niche expensive ventures with a few fans becomes more affordable as larger quantities are now being distributed.

You same thing with tech like SSDs and hard drives actually falling price over time while capacities offered grows. Lot of PC parts actually with the exception of GPUs.

Because famous figures or organizations are the primary draw for the mainstream audience over random users. And many use it because they themselves hope to use the huge platform to promote or try to become an influencer.

TV shows I look for are more narrative driven stories that are unfolding with characters and plot.

Cooking show is more in the realm of reality TV with less scripted presentation even though it is scripted. It’s easier to find traditional TV show and talk show alternatives on YouTube than there is to find series along the vein of Fargo, Succession, The Office, House of the Dragon, etc.

Joe Haver is more shorts or skits, but not what I’m looking for. It’s why I keep coming back to VGHS. It was the most ambitious attempt at offering a TV show on YouTube.

That’s the type of narrative creativity that I’m looking for over usual x person talking and explaining or summarizing things that usually tends be the general YouTube content. Or some short skits.

Lenghty story driven content is just not really prevalent on YouTube, or have much selection if there is like there is when it comes to the numerous shows on Netflix to select from. Not surprising either given the budget required for TV shows and movies, which is why there’s been no more VGHS type ambitious projects I know of that showed on YouTube since then.

But, those aren’t tv shows or movies. They share more in common with reality TV and talk shows and podcasts.

When I heard YouTube is more creative with this being a topic about The Office I figured it was creative alternatives to tv show and movie alternatives you might have been suggesting. Like VGHS YouTube series as I mentioned.

What channels on YouTube? YouTube has felt like AI generated content for a long time, since so many videos will follow the pattern of being a stretched out length, sponsor drop, and begs for likes and subscribe because of what determines algorithm visibility. Creativity feels like it’s all suppressed with searches showing content from the same big channels too.

Feel like Rocket Jump with VGHS was the last era of channels attempting to make original TV/movie content. YouTube feels like it’s filled with mainly talking heads these days. Not really know of many channels that tried for TV style episodic videos like Rocket Jump did with VGHS.
