Exactly, which is why I keep repeating here, the Google/Facebook advertising model of "personalized content algorithm" was and is a lie that they've been selling for decades. There really is nothing more effective to promote something than genuine word of mouth, and that is not something that can be automated by an unfeeling machine.
So, in that sense, actual human content are a dwindling resource on the Internet right now, and that's where Lemmy comes in. If we want Lemmy to grow, you should actively contribute your own expertise here(everybody is good at something) instead of arguing pointlessly, so people can think of Lemmy as a place where people help people.
I insist on doing as much as I can on my mobile browser to reduce the number of apps I have and only use apps that I feel are useful. Forcing me to use an app for trivial things just means I won't use your service at all.
Works pretty well, and one of the things I like about Lemmy is that the mobile browser experience is perfectly fine, it's good in its simplicity.
When there is just paywalls and AI generated text garbage everywhere, it's nice to have a place where you can read what actual people think about things, good or bad.
But I'm cool and just like you non-actor people (except I'm really, really hot or whatever), also, I didn't fade away from Lemmy after my movie was out.
No, like all real celebrities on other social media platforms, I, actual Hollywood superstar Margot Robbie, also use my real name to promote my movies on this obscure technology forum.
After all, why would a celebrity ever lie to you about who they are?
I really feel that people really puts too much reverence into the words and actions of celebrities, and are disappointed when they are not the person who they appeared to be.
But, if you take a step back and actually think about it, you see these people on your screen every day, do you know who these people really are? Most of you have never met these people before in your life!
The person see on your screen in image and text form is not the actual person, but projections of the person behind the screen (a character, if you will). That's what social media is, and that's what all media are, you present your character to to the rest of the world and tries to sell the life of that character you made up. Of course, when the projection of the character in front of screen doesn't match up with the person behind the character (Ellen, Cordon, Brand, now Kari Byron, etc.), of course you would feel cheated.
Maybe that's why I'm here. I don't want anything out of you other than to laugh at my shitty jokes, and I don't really have anything to sell you other than some dumb movies. It's rare to find that these days, and that's really all there is to it.
After all, you are who you choose to be, so, I try to be someone better, someone you know that you can be proud of, and if you are still reading this, I do expect you to do your best, so I can be proud of you too.
Well, nobody really wants to ever put their name on something they're not proud of, right?
But when the goals is to churn out as much "content" as fast as possible to fill out streaming services on impossible deadlines on threat of unemployment for writers, of course writing quality will suffer.
Unhappy, overworked and underpaid people will understandably deliver poor work, which is why the strike is necessary for things to change.
You're never too old to start enjoying things. It's nice to escape from being an adult for a while and just have fun.
