They’re not “millions” right now. Imagine every single dollar they currently spend for different types of advertising, all used as budget for astroturfing. It would turn every online space into bots talking to themselves and nothing else.
I’m always amazed at how much Reiruka animations manage to convey while still being so minimal lol
I know, and that sucks. But outright banning something that has its benefits has always been detrimental (not to mention, they’d just find sneakier ways to do it and it’d be worse for everyone). We need regulations, a lot of them, not banning entirely.
Plus who are we kidding, everyone in power is so deep into the advertising/propaganda industry that neither of those options have a decent chance of happening in our lifetime.
Yup. The whole article and “we should bring back bullying” rhetoric (even used ironically) just reeks of someone who doesn’t like “uncool” people and finally found a morally valid excuse to hate on some of them.
Really, not much different from misogynists pointing at random female tiktok influencers and concluding “See? This is why women are dumb and we need sexism”.
That’s a generalization. The White Rose was doing “advertising”, and I think that’s all but “by the wealthy, against the working class”.
Advertising has its place and can be beneficial to society, it just needs regulations (admittedly, A LOT of them).
We all know if every other way of advertising was banned, they’d start paying (or “incentivizing”) millions of people to “do word of mouth” for them.
And then we’ll have those people polluting every online space with unlabeled ads. No thank you.
Yeah the thumbnail situation is definitely annoying… I can understand the initial issue with YouTube messing the API access, but now we have a dedicated thumbnail option, why isn’t that one working either…?
Okay, I’ll admit I didn’t notice the HAW at first lol
Good luck, stinky shark. Hopefully the vod stays up, I still have to watch Mumei’s…
I’ll probably be busy during the streams but I’ll definitely watch the vods, this is gonna hurt my heart.
Oh? Wasn’t expecting two episodes so close together, glad they managed to do both.
That makes sense when it harms business being done in that country, people’s opportunity to find jobs and stuff like that.
But blocking people from working for free on open source projects where there’s nothing to be gained is harming progress, not individuals or countries. That’s not what sanctions were made for.
Here’s an archive link 7 days later, with 800+ replies
“This whole system needs to be smashed and recreated, it’s fine if the country burns itself down”
“Btw you’re the one with blood on your hands, I definitely think basic human rights aren’t negotiable”
Maybe, “what was the philosopher doing for 60 minutes in the mall?”
Well, it does look like he shows her his badge as he’s walking up to her.
…not at all…? He has his hands in his pockets until he stops walking in front of her, then he takes out his open hand to tell her to stop, then he takes out the other to stop her from walking away. When do you think he showed her a badge?
Ohh, so you’re an accelerationist! Now your comments make sense. Well, except the one claiming you’re anti-genocide, but the rest make sense. Kinda.

Apparently they’re next to the timestamp now (you can see the “↑ 4” on that screenshot, and if you sort this post’s comments by Best, the Futurama meme shows as “↑ 87 ↓ 1”)

Holy crap that was a rabbit hole.
