Fight Club resonated so hard on me and my misfit pals when we saw it for the first time. Probably not my favourite film now, but that times where intense, so it always come to mind thinking about good films. Now it's maybe Blade Runner for totally different reasons, mostly superb aesthetic. I guess I chilled down quite a bit.
The illusion of infinite growth on "free use" ad based business dies when investment funds demand more benefits from former startups now turned into corporations whose only asset of value is the their users' data. You are the product, so it's time to squeeze you.
I think such data is currently overvalued on a overgrown ad-targeting market with too many competitors, and adding more ads only devaluates each ad value further, because users' consuming capacity also has a limit. So I see a severe correction coming. Another bubble burst, and another crisis inside the crisis that late capitalism itself is.
Looks like one of those clickbait content websites that pop up on social media. I guess this is what you get when everything is aimed at ad revenue and short term profit. Next logical step, sell the thing to some corpo while is still relevant.
Common sense experiments show everything is flat, so called "volume" is just part of the ideological agenda of the elites. If you don't believe me just google any picture and watch it with your phone tilted.
Indeed. Our dependence in this kind of tourism also generates a low productivity economy with an underpaid and seasonal labor market, which leads to a lot of social problems. It's really quite sad to be the "fiesta" country. I hope we are increasingly aware that this model is unsustainable and make a much needed change. Thanks for you kindness.
Don't be ashamed, to be fair is our fault maintaining a tourism model that attracts this kind of people regardless of their country of origin, instead of respectful and nice people like you
