Unfortunately, that's really not how it works. The masses don't care. Just like Netflix profits increased after the crackdown, most people just use the Reddit app and don't give a fuck.

Tbh, with how small lemmy is, it's really not got much draw for most people. I still miss the long conversations and multiple comments. I've only seen like 50 comments on here at best.

I'd probably say on the release day at minimum, a lot of people have 'hide read posts' on and will never see this again.

How is 3 buttons too complicated?

[–] Wooly 1 points 1 year ago

No, it's not bland. But it falls into the awful category for me at least. That's two appealing movies out of how many? A lot of these new movies have amazing detail but no soul. Pixar has had no joy for years.

I do really hope PiB and Spiderman inspire more studios to put effort into their kids movies.

depressingly not convinced faster than light travel will ever be possible, especially for humans or human-like organisms...

I think you're right, the only chance we'll ever have at reaching another habitual world (if we ever even detect one well enough) is with cryogenics and/or colony ships. It'll take hundreds, possibly thousands of years till we're at that point thought. Especially when our civilization puts so little into space travel. We should really have a moon base at this point.

I believe aliens exist, somewhere in the universe. Statistically it seems inevitable, I just don't believe they've visited earth or even know we exist, just like we don't know they exist. You can sit on something like that, there would be much better evidence than grainy fake looking videos and second hand accounts.

Earth is a very early stable planet, I'm sure there will be lots more species in the coming billions of years. We might even be the most advanced civilization in the galaxy. But we'll probably never contact anyone else, best we do is notice signs of life on a distant planet.

I absolutely hate the art style they chose for this. Most non live action movies have looked awful/bland over the last few years.

Pretty sure they're all just 13. I got into an argument on here (without me knowing where I was) and their stance was that the USSR was some kind of utopia and not a shit hole that a whole number of countries separated from for good damn reason.

I've only got a out 1.5tb but if I ditched Netflix I'd need to download 10+ shows with hundreds of episodes. I've already got a few 6+ season shows on my Plex but it's mostly 1-2 season newer shows because everything has segregated so much in the past few years. If you don't have Disney+ and want to see all the marvel shit, it's adding up quick. It's not like I'm rewatching all this stuff, I have 300 movies and rewatch one or two maybe once a year. I just keep everything because it's not very expensive to me. If I need more space I'll drop £100 and have storage for the next 5+ years.

Then there's the people who download 25gb 4k movies and shit, I will occasionally but I don't like to do it.

I sub for the skip intros alone, turns out it affects everyone who watches on your server which is great.

I don't really utilise any other aspects of Plex Pass but £4 isn't much to me and Plex is insanely useful to me.

Celebrities with obscene amounts of money is like 1% of actors. Most of them are just Joe shmoes in the background. Actors should get their fair share, I think it's pretty simple, even famous people have been sharing the low amounts they make from streaming.

At least celebrities really only get paid what the market dictates and actually provide joy/entertainment to the people that willingly give them money. 100% of CEO's exploit to make their billions - and they'll never get replaced, they "need" to be in charge, replace everyone else though, they like how cheap it is.

Don't crab bucket. Fight for your right to a share of the profits.
