  • I think it's a talent that a lot of people appreciate, regardless of who wrote the words.

    I think the average person appreciates the singing more than the lyrics in general, even in cases where that may be disappointing.

    As a writer who has used AI to generate the vocals for songs I wrote, I can tell you that even a great performance of well-written music gives people "bad vibes" when they realize it's a machine singing it.

    Most art is a human-to-human experience and having an impassioned performance from a machine gives people the willies, even if a human wrote the song. Especially if they can't tell it's a machine and find out later.

    Maybe this will change over time, but I think it's ultimately about what speaks to people the most. Bob Dylan isn't famous for being the best singer. Ariana Grande isn't famous for being the best song-writer.

  • I don't think that attractiveness alone is that big of a factor.

    I rarely get shit from people in a workplace like you described, but it's more because I'm nice to everybody and I don't respond to aggression with aggression.

    Most people are reactive by default, which is usually what aggressive people are looking for.

    I find that the less aggression you dish out, the less people try to serve it to you.

    That said you could maybe make an argument that attractive people have slightly less to be cranky about on average and maybe that makes them less reactive, etc, but I don't think that holds weight.

    Most attractive people don't know they're attractive, and those who know it still rarely feel it. Self-perception is a bitch for everyone, no matter how you look to other people.

  • I mean, most people just suck ass at realizing what part of a story could possibly be interesting to outside parties.

    "A mukbang YouTuber (That's someone who inhales disturbing volumes of food as entertainment) weighed over 350 pounds and just revealed that more than a year of their videos were pre-recorded as they lost 250 pounds!"

    There. Simple. Easily worthy of a ”That's wild!"

  • I definitely miss old Reddit, but it's definitely dead now.

    Used to be my go-to scrolling every day. After they screwed 3rd party apps I found Lemmy and love it. There was an obscure open source Reddit app that used scraping that was still working so I'd been using Lemmy and Reddit about 50/50. Nice thing was the Reddit app kept me logged out with no engagement so I wasn't feeding the beast.

    The other day all those little scraping Reddit apps finally died. Just useless. So fuck em I guess. If I ever need a more real-time larger user base I can go on desktop for it, but there is no mobile Reddit option (including offical) that's even remotely usable now.

    Can't believe how much better the Lemmy experience is, even with its shortcomings. My only issue has been that the desktop web access feels rough. It also stinks not having the benefits of centralized storage. With Reddit I could bookmark anything and everything of interest in something like Raindrop.io and go see it any time months later. With Lemmy things often seem to be gone in days or weeks, or an instance will just be formatted horribly on desktop.

    Still more convenient than Reddit and I hope the dev efforts keep polishing things up! 👍
