But people here don't really care that much about celebrities being here and maybe not even their username being unique. Could probably be anon1, anon2, etc and it wouldn't matter that much, since real identity is probably not a draw for them. Focus on regular people wanting the userbase to want to use fediverse rather than celebrities which is an off-putting first impression and point of sale for lot of people here.

You need to pivot is what I'm saying to achieve what you want.

I'm not here for celebrities and they will always flock to centralized platforms anyways, since they are all about the views.

Sailing is so much better than managing when to stop and continue payment for the dozens of streaming services.

I enjoyed memes back in the forum days because they weren't frequent with it being more discussion base, so when they showed up it'd have a tendency to actually be funny. But, move towards generating meme content quickly diluted the experience of memes with forcing of memes.

I never tried anything other than old.reddit.com. And I'll never try the dreadful reddit app. Redesign has always been trash and terrible at loading content and pushes trash topics at users.

Current system seems like capitalists dream of underpaying employees as much as possible and having the narrative pass the blame to be between customers and workers.

And even better that workers will argue against actually being guaranteed a higher salary in favor of this system on the off chance they might get more. Sort of like gamblers who get off the high of that one big win. Either way, the shift away from having to pay full salaries and benefits is cause for celebration for owners, since they love that it's more likely they don't get blamed and instead the customer when the owner has enough money to take home profits and live well instead of struggling like their employees being paid the bare minimum.

It's pretty much the absolute ideal situation for them. No blame and lower expenses. And most wonderful part of it all is workers being expected to cover the salaries of other workers as opposed to the people at top, so they continue to win in every facet.

With the state of games at launch how many are there that you'd want the unpatched version.

Also there is Jedi Survivor

Yep, with move towards disc's becoming glorified license checks that allow you to download the game it's piracy that will end up actually preserving anything.

When pay is basically non existent is there a reason to be on spotify? Or is it for "exposure" in hopes of finding new fans.

People this doesn't affect are pirates. People who get to enjoy their media without worry are pirates. When pirates are getting the better experience and it's customers who are getting affected what incentive is there to not pirate other than personal morals. Because it sure isn't for a better product.

Yeah, hate haggling. Never know if it is actually a good deal, and tracking prices and deals is so unreliable compared other goods with the way those have historic price tracking recorded on sites like camelcamelcamel or keepa. Keeps consumers in the dark with only a broad idea of what isn't a scam price and making the experience as exhausting as possible to extract money from them.

I didn't watch after Neve Campbell wasn't brought back.
