For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

‘Being Good at gaming’ has no value. It’s like saying ‘he can see colours better than other people’ but that would have applications. There’s no value to society in having streamers around in their current iteration. And if your point is ‘but it is entertaining’ I have to say that there are better time sinks that would leave you with experience and skills instead of watching people play dumb games.
'Being Good at sports has no value. It's like saying 'he can see colors better than other people' but that would have applications.

Want me to go on or nah
Has no value to you maybe.
Go be elitist somewhere else.
That's a matter of opinion, but I will say that at least on computer, any kind of gaming will improve your mechanical skill. I'm grateful to have started using PCs and gaming at a young age
Well, I used to think an opinion couldn't be wrong, but here we are.
Being good at gaming has what ever value people ascribe to it, either the player them selves, or the people who enjoy the content.
A good chunk of my screen time after work is watching youtube videos of various gaming content creators.
There are a variety of reasons I do it, and I'm sure other people could at more.
Deciding if I'll enjoy a particular game or genre.
Learning new things about a game I already own.
Seeing how broken a game can be through glitches / speedrunning.
Sometimes it's just fucking funny.
So take your pissy negative attitude to other peoples enjoyment and go away.
Yes yes you're so cool and accomplished for not having the useless hobbies.
Not everything has to have a functional purpose. It's perfectly fine to enjoy something that doesn't.
I mean, I'm sure your parents still love you even though it's clear that their time was sunk into something without a functional purpose.
