It lasted for like…a day. Fucking boo-hoo.

I’m in a discord server where a couple people I know were freaking out about “OMG TIKTOK DOWN! I WAS GONNA MAKE SOMETHING!” and shit. Then a few hours later, they were cheery it was back on.

Just in time for people to make even more forgettable brain rot.

Nostalgia.

It has tried to return in the early 2010s and again in the 2020s. It has not aged well and didn’t really feel like it belonged anywhere within any culture of what was going on for shows around those points in time.

So a while ago I was on a platform where the community valued art that was made by actual artists. AI Art was strictly forbidden and anyone who showcased said AI art in their gallery or used it as a profile picture, had it removed and could face penalty.

AI has been trained to generate art styles from many artists by crawling through the web. Anyone can go to any AI generating source, punch in a few descriptive keywords, tell AI to mimic a style as closely as possible and now you have a copy of said material.

The difference is, is that IPTV is just an internet-based streaming station similar to how networks operate to broadcast television shows. There’s nothing to really pirate.

This is the kind of shit that makes me want to campaign on harassing marketers and advertisers personally.

“I’ve a question for you, Mr.Advertiser”

“Yes! Is it about how we can shovel more commercials to you?”

“No, it’s about what do you value in life and how would you feel if I took it from you, you parasite?”

I wonder what the quarterly earning reports are from stores that have exited the physical media market by now. Like Best Buy has now gone a whole year without selling physical media.

Yeah that was the content I was vaguely referring to.

And kind of agree, a lot of the show’s actual episodic structure outside of the music video part, is shoddy at best. It was car crash television from the 90s, what did anyone expect?

Of course. When people need to save money and have to consider what expense to cut away. People need something to tend to.

I don’t pirate for moral purposes. I pirate because:

I do not have all of the money in the world to simply just spend luxuriously on anything I set my sights on.

I care about having food, a place to stay I can call my own, and a vehicle I need to get to places.

There were stretches in time in my life where I had been broke and too poor while many things have passed me by that I have pirated since.

I find that some services or media just aren’t worth the asking price or the value of what’s there that’s offered, because it does not pique my interest that would make me want to subscribe.

I live a finite lifespan, I do not have all of the time in the world until legal alternatives are available or for some things to be affordable when I know it is likely that they won’t be.

It’s really that simple.

I’ll be eager to know what the results will be about it’s resistance to bullets and sharpened objects.

Technically speaking, that is practiced. Try as the Government may, they can’t censor free speech directed towards them or about them. By default that any attempt should they keep trying, is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment, which something people horribly get wrong a lot of the time.

People will and have said a lot of shit around social media and to others freely. Because social media and the people they talk to, aren’t the government. But, which is another thing people are stupidly oblivious to, that what is said outside of that government scope, subjects them to be penalized. Such as being banned, being muted, being excommunicated, being brought to court and even be subjected to go to jail.

So for example, I have the free speech to tell X someone to go and kill themselves. They do so. So what does that do? Well, I just violated a cyberbullying law right there and I committed an act of murder remotely. And to addition to my would-be punishment, I’ve indirectly revoked my right to free speech.

Where I’m getting at or to just put it plainly, people need to be more moderate and regulated in how they practice their free speech and to whom. The part that nobody ever wants to confront or deal with, are the consequences about that free speech that it could bring to them. It’s a two way street, not one.

There’s really no realistic workaround to this.

You must be fun at parties.

This is the kind of shit that makes my eyes feel cross-eyed some times.

I just find gamblers obnoxious, really. Like the ones who have to turn everything into a damn betting contest. I’ve been in YouTube chat rooms before when I used to have watched live stream dart events. And there was always at least 10 people there who just couldn’t shut the fuck up about “OH THIS PLAYER LOST AND MADE ME LOSE MY MONEY!” or “ANY BETS?!?” or whatever else.

It just annoyed the fuck out of me because it takes you out of the game. And I hate how sports now have openly adopted gambling to where they cater to these people. Gotta hear about draft kings, gotta hear about odds, percentages and whatever else. I fucking hate the idea of gambling itself.

Narrator: You will not have your mind changed.

These people just say their empty comments and go about their day.

And that’s a worrying reality. But that’s what Big Tech is banking heavily on. They’re no longer entitled to their files on their machines or devices. It’s in the cloud, handled by a biased service who more than likely could do anything and charge them anything as they so desire in order to have continued access to said ‘files’.
