youre not even pretending to take this seriously if the best answer you have to "less attention on this entire situation would be best" is "oh? so you love and support it uncritically????" because its a safe, obviously stupid position that literally anyone would be able to argue against.

CWC content is still getting like hundreds of thousands-to-millions of views on the regular, so the idea that anybody could possibly blow it up any further and make it worse by doing so is laughable. I don't think Natalie Wynn doing a whole segment on it in one of her biggest videos made the situation any worse. If anything it brought more critical eyeballs and more scrutiny onto KF and that whole scene.

You don't get Keffals temporarily scoring a W against them (this is not a defense or praise of Keffals) and getting writeups in Ars Technica without that attention.

the audience of an hbomberguy vid is presumably less "internet" than keffals. cwc does not need to cross the line into the mainstream news cycle. again.

cloudflare's iron grip on the internet is an axe that's hanging waiting to cut all of our heads off tbh. they should not have effectively unilateral control over what does or doesnt go online. but like. i dont know how you fix that except to break it up from the government

e: on the other hand, cloudflare wants the gov to decide what it can and cant host and that's worse, somehow

"Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."

Skippy McPants posted:

I remember first becoming aware of how ubiquitous VFX are when I watched the LotR Extending Edition extras, and they talked about all the visual effects they did on the scene where Boromir died. It's full of corrections, lighting tweaks, and even this thing where they leech the color out of Sean Bean's face to really sell the character's death.

And that's a simple shot-reverse-shot dialogue exchange from a twenty-year-old film. The stigma against CGI and VFX is wild, considering how essential and integrated it is in modern cinema. As the video points out, even "no CGI" films often have visual effects departments vastly larger than any other team on the production.

Finding out that shows and movies will edit out blinks from actors was a real eye-opening moment for me. It makes sense that it happens (blinks can be a momentary distraction in a tense scene) but it's such a fine level of control over a performance.

my layman guess is the same as almost every other online stock: COVID was good for business

e: a surprising amount of people in positions of power thought COVID online activity was the new norm instead of a temporary blip everyone was desperate to get out of. it was weird.
