Xaris posted:gotta say, i don't think I "get" social media. wasting almost 3-hours of minimum wages in money, a half hour of some giger's time, and some gas to.... get an empty box for.... attention? You sure $20 is three hours of minimum wage there? Wasn't it raised to $15 an hour in most places? If it is though, $11 for a half hour seems like a fantastic deal rather than a waste. The wasted gas I'll grant you.

Xaris posted:the problem here is discovery. its easy to be like alright, don't consume bad tv/movies/music/games. 'tis truly that simple. but then it's like, alright well how do you find new music that's similar to what you want? word of mouth is obviously the best, but most music discussion forums are basically non-existent or dire, and even amongst friends you'll possibly have different tastes. you basically have NMD and... reddit. this is such an insane perspective to me because for me (and most music turbo-nerds) discovery is the hobby. why would I use an app that does the thing I want to be doing in the first place for me? good encapsulation of the problem though - this is a good enough solution for most people that the only way 95% of unknown artists are getting heard by strangers is either via viral memes or genre playlists, so all the music now is either a 3 minute song designed to be chopped to 15 seconds for tik tok or deep genre pandering (throwback death metal is in a nice spot recently, for example, but if this is at all something you'd care about you probably already know) anyway lots of better solutions than streaming apps for finding new-to-you music in 2024 but most of them boil down to making friends with people who also like music so if thats a dealbreaker you're still SOL

at least music is short and accessible, usually free, even on bandcamp you can stream it. a bad album isn’t very long and you can tell pretty quick. bad movie? well you might have to watch it for longer, and may have to rent it, but still not too much time or money investment. video games? lol

capitalists have been accusing people of malthusian thinking for like a century because there's always that next technological breakthrough coming that will trivialize our problems... even now you'll see people arguing that diminishing resources is no concern because space is full of resources and virtually infinite so we can just go out there and get them

music can be copied infinitely but artists make royalties every time their song is played/sampled. if you build a house, a tractor, a machinery, you get paid (poorly) once, even if that thing is in operation for 50+ years everything is fundamentally broken

Dead Internetquote:https://x.com/textfiles/status/1791927475049500823 I really wonder how long it'll take for an actual proper search engine alternative to pop up. DDG mostly piggybacks off Google from what I can tell. Yandex is OK for now but doesn't really compare to how robust Google used to be in the 00s.

SKULL.GIF posted:Dead Internet I use Kagi and it doesn't make me want to die. It does some piggybacking (but I think across many search engines) and has AI summary stuff built in, though. I don't mind the latter so much if someone posts a 1000 page blog and I don't want to read it. I also use the chat they have built in to summarize youtube transcripts so I don't have to watch a 45 minute video to find out which cake flour is best. One feature I like is it lets you customize domain ranking, so if I search for recipes or whatever and I get good sites I can tell it to prioritize those if it's in the results next time and AI/spam sites, I can tell it to block or deprioritize. I might hope general preferences and feedback like that help them optimize across the board for everyone. I think that might be a workable strategy to fight on result nonsense

SKULL.GIF posted:Dead Internet Lmao the audacity, further in the article Google says they think the AI summaries will actually INCREASE how many people go on to click links to websites, like, what???? Also they don't seem to be able to put two and two together when they see "people are still clicking on links as much as before" and "people seem to really loving hate AI summaries taking up the whole page". Gee maybe people are just "putting up with" your bullshit and not actually liking it?

You can also follow labels that specialize in your genre of choice or see who is opening for your favs when/if they tour because I've found that they tend to have similar vibes, and that's if the artist themselves aren't choosing them. I find Spotify outside of the discover weekly railroads me into stuff I already listen to, like half my Daily Playlists are stuff that's explicitly in my liked songs already. If I wanted that I would just use that playlist.

There are like four websites I ever go to, and if I can't look something up on one of those sites, I just go do something else. Lmfao I just realised, saying you're going to "google" something is meaningless now. They did a Musk and comprehensively destroyed their own brand.
