The only world news lemmy upvotes. When the world news is about their favorite president.

Unless the whole system crashes, ... would be a plus

I already knew someone would reply that, and addressed it.

You can't say any of that. You are enjoying a product of a system as it exists. If it crashed and would never be rebuilt, all you'd have left is independent cinema/games. This already exists, and you could go consume that. But you don't.

There's no guarantee that in absence of big corpo with profits there will be anything produced like your favorite TV show.

I can promise you one thing: if no one pays for what they watch, there will be no TV shows. Scripting, cast, production, and delivery, all cost a lot of money. If tomorrow you inact a low that prohibits charging money for media content, no new system will emerge. Or what you'll see is kinda what YouTube has: short videos with built-in ads, and potentially sponsored content that you'll never know about.

So, right now, you're damaging the only system we know that produces content that you enjoy.

Humans are inherently creative, creative work would still be made

Ah, I see. You want someone else to work for free, so you get your content for free.

Maybe you never talked to an independent artist. Who are in their 30s barely manage to make their ends meet, and are looking for any chance to get into a different career path.

No, anon, you in particular aren't morally safe. You make lame excuses for your inability to pay.

Meh, you're just building an echo chamber. Everyone around is of the same opinion, everything against is downvoted to hell, sometimes bans are handed out.

And you are starting to believe you're normal and you're keeping your space clean of all the "assholes". But instead you're just way too far up your own ass most of the time.

Your downvotes don't hurt. It's just sad that this ambitious project that could've easily replaced reddit, turned into a circle-jerk. The content and opinion-diversity on everything that's reachable from my current instance is approximately /r/antiwork. I could just go back and spend all my days browsing that one sub without any loss. But such pompous name "fediverse".

You got nothing folks. Every community is about USA only and all the top posts are "trump bad", "capitalism bad." Like nothing else exists. You sabotaged yourselves. There's no fediverse. There are 20-40k people chanting together "fuck trump, fuck musk, fuck capitalism". On every instance, in every thread, on every topic.

And you know what, I agree with all three. But even to me you look pathetic. And as my multiple tests confirm, you do not accept any disagreement, and you cannot brin any rational argument to the table, you can only echo.

While your mega corporation is extremely rich, if tomorrow everyone starts pirating, that corporation will go bankrupt in a year. And all those TV shows you enjoyed won't be produced anymore. No more new movies with cool stunts and special effects. No more games with insane graphics.

As a consumer of that big corpo content you don't have the moral high ground to say "I never cared anyways about your shitty mass-consumer stuff". You care because you pirated it to watch/play it.

So in the end, you only got your cake because someone else overpaid for theirs. Infinite replicability argument does not hold because it costs money to make content. And it's a risky investment, so at times you want to get more back than you invested, cuz other times you'll spend 50 millions on a game nobody wants to play, and lose 40 of those.

By pirating you inadvertently cause damage to the industry and if everyone followed your steps your favorite games/movies would ceise to exist. But for now it works cuz most people don't pirate. So, are you morally safe, anon?

Fediverse: extremely USA-centric, extremely left and queer. Dissent is punished as hard as posting Winnie Pooh on TikTok.

It started so he could creep on girls on their campus. Nerds had hard time to socialize, so they made a digital social network to help them with the cause. Dunno if it did. But his early interviews are creepy af, lol

That's a far cry from how china suppresses protests. And really a small individual example. Overall there's a clear freedom of expression and civil protest in the US. The same absolutely cannot be said about china.

True. Nonetheless, "women bad" memes aren't a valid replacement. Please, kindly proceed to 9gag.com to find a community of like-minded individuals.

Bob Ross gets a share of the price for selling your soul to Google. He's a tool in corporate abuse of humanity. Otherwise he would've long time ago quit YouTube with a clear public statement.

Facebook is a product that cost billions to develop. It scaled so fast at some point, they developed a big data framework on top of MySQL, cuz refactoring wasn't an option. Their tech stack is the funniest chimera out there. And it only happened because everyone loved it so much. Facebook costs billions per year to run. And you get it for free. I mean, you pay with your data, just like on YouTube.

Lemmy, you show as usual that you cannot even basic math. You're not entitled to criticize capitalism until you learn how to count. You sound stupid.

People don't understand that the way a backdoor is usually implemented is not going to be obviously saying "backdoor_here", neither it will look like a some magic code loading a large string and unzipping it on the fly -- that's sus af. What you will see is some "play video" functionality that has a very subtle buffer overflow bug that's also not trivially triggerable.

This already happened with WhatsApp.

This is completely insane, btw. An actual radical far-right will be forming the government in Austria.

To me seems like individual humans decided that they want something in return for their nudity. Nobody forced them into that decision.

</div, color=pink> (or something like that)

gonewild and associate subs have been showing lots lots of admiration and body positivity for amateur posters.

However, eventually all those subs turned into an onlyfans advertising platform, so maybe then the mood got spoiled.

Previously it was unpaid art for unpaid audience, and was almost unbelievably wholesome.

That hit too close home.

Yeah, you get even more clouds.

Top 3 upvoted post on lemmy for me, since I blocked all political content.

Tells you everything about your average lemming. Basement dwellers. This place is a queer wanna-be commie 4chan in disguise.

You folks need to go touch some grass.

Yay, we're relevant again!

A comment on lemmy. Never need to read it, it will always have the same conclusion "capitalism bad". No matter the topic.

TL;DR of lemmy: capitalism bad, now you don't need to open the app at all.

Ok, lemmy crybabies. Me and my millennial friends all graduated from a university in Europe. None of us were born rich, but we're all well-off now. By now everyone lives in different country, works in a different field, but literally everyone can afford a mortgage, a car, a ski trip, and maybe for their partner not to work for a few years if kids would be born.

Yet, imagine that, nobody really planned for their career to be lucrative. People just did what they thought was interesting and did it well. Only one dude was after money. He went into banking and now probably makes close to a mil annually.

I reiterate. All that was necessary for a financial success was to find an interesting job and do it with passion. To me this sounds like a communist dream.

And yet lemmy keeps telling me every day that it could only be possible if all of us were born rich, or sucked to corpos or whatever. You're just a bunch of sore losers, lemmy.

Enjoy your holidays and think about your life choices.
