We went from the desire to be seen and find community to the desire to be rich and famous.
Even the comments about going back are mostly because people want an era where standing out was easier. Not an era where that wasn't the goal.

The Internet used to be an anonymous void. That was the good part.
The attention, influencing, everything is marketing, we are all stars now Internet is the opposite.

Just a casual reminder that if you vocally hate AI art because it steals from artists without permission to create and promote people who couldn't do that on their own, you might want to delete all of your art reels that say "original audio" but use music you didn't pay for.

It's honestly getting to the point where looking at social media is like staring into the sun.
I can do it for slightly less than a second before needing to look away and wondering what the hell I was thinking in the first place.

I'm just going to repost this every time I see another obnoxious post from "artists" decrying AI as theft.
Especially if the person is using copywritten music in the background and not citing the musician or their art account is full of IP they don't own.
Major pet peeve.

Genuinely hilarious to me when someone complains about AI stealing artists work and then they post a clip of Miyazaki. Or sell fan art.
If you use trends or clips or other stuff to get visibility without paying for it and you are yourself in a legal grey area, then you can sit.

It frustrates me that people are so sick of an industry that they personally funded with choices they made.
Find small companies doing the things you like and FUND THOSE. If you know the money is going to shitty CEOs then stop giving it to them and give it to devs who need it.

If you hate seeing the same games over and over when you know there's other cool stuff, then post those games!
Marketing/gaining traction/visibility is one of the most difficult things for an indie - most of whom have no budget or experience in it.
HELP THEM.

Yes, but also STOP SPENDING MONEY on things that don't need your money.
Find an indie company you love. Encourage everyone to play their games. Tell streamers you like to play too.
Indies will actually listen and appreciate it. Mega corporations do not give a. single. fuck.

@duolingo Ending a Diamond League streak after 23 weeks because there's basically no way to compete with Super users anymore. App is now pay to win and not worth participating in. Congrats.
When the top has 18000 XP for the week and the bottom is 468 XP, your app is broken.

Gem rewards lowered, gem prices tripled. The awful match game is the only challenge all days except for 1, while the other regular challenge resets progress in the middle of it being available.
Never seen an app suddenly show "we hate our users" so much in such a short time.
