Yeah the scale of infrastructure needed for video hosting at a scale needed for creators to move over is nutso. The creators won’t move without the audience, the audience won’t move without the creators. Only way it could work is if another “megacorp” decided to take on YouTube and incentivised creators to move.

Pretty much only Apple and Microsoft have the funds to pull that off.

Also stopped using Insta after the fuckers randomly blocked me and demanded access to my ID to release. I’m not giving them my passport just so I can doomscroll.

I dumped Twitter in the first wave after Elon took over and found a new home on Mastodon. Deleted my Reddit accounts during the API crisis (I still visit but no longer contribute) and spend some time on Lemmy (haven’t yet found the community to be as engaging). Sadly there isn’t a viable alternative for YouTube yet.

When is this out? I feel like I’ve run out of good TV at the moment!

I’m also that old and have zero memory of the original. The video is pretty awesome though!

It’s a cover so wasn’t their best but they have done all sorts during their years from gothic to classical and more recently glam-industrial. They definitely keep you on your toes!

I guess the Axolotls are totally fucked now then ☹️

If it makes you feel better I have a presentation to deliver in three weeks and so far I have created the deck in Google docs and given it a name. I’ve known about this for a month.

You go girlfriend!

FRANK AND BEEAAAAAAANS!

Y tho? The first rule of brand recognition is ya don’t fuck with the brand name!
