A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You’re probably working on the film (BJ2) that I was working on that went on to Europe to finish shooting. Trust me: it’s DEAD in the US. Even in LA, it’s dead.

Oh no, I work in a cinema, as an usher etc. it's a bit mainstream and a bit art house. I hear you about industry stateside, lots of multiplexes closing

Yeah. No one goes to the theater anymore and the industry is converging around 200 walled gardens that don’t share content and serve ads to make up for the lost revenue from ticket sales…a race to the bottom and all they had to do was pool their resources and they’d make tons of money on content. Instead, egos caused them to fragment their revenue streams like all the stupid music streaming services did, shooting themselves in the foot.

I saw it coming from miles away and was outspoken. Still, it’s too late. I’m switching to a better source of income once the tech sector realizes that they actually need humans even in the age of AI.

Well I wish you the best of luck with your next job.

Thanks! I’ll need it!

…If only there were some other system where I didn’t have to monetize my interests. Oh well. I’m sure capitalism is the best way. /s
