  • Anti-Palestinian Billionaires Can Now Control What TikTok Users See

    Jump

  • What about in the opposite direction. Isn't AI a tool that can be used to create, analyze and research. Which is why I think it's pushed very hard for the left to alienate themselves from it. It gives anyone who embraced it a big advantage.

  • That's why quantity is important online. They can't suppress it all.

    It just surprises me that people put more effort trying to get AI to quote Hitler than they do trying to fight for something like this.

    Why is there this asymmetry of effort between the political factions.

  • Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group

  • We should stop pretending piracy is some fringe problem instead of a pressure valve. When artists and creators use the internet primarily to sell and self-promote, they’re still participating in the same system even if they’re not Facebook or Spotify. Scale doesn’t change the outcome.

    We can’t have the internet we claim to want and treat it like a digital busking space. Those two ideas don’t coexist. Once monetization enters, everything starts bending toward the same endgame, tracking, ads, artificial walls, data collection, subscriptions. It always converges there.

    Content creators are part of the enshittification problem. Piracy is a stopgap response to it. A way people push back against a system that turns sharing into commerce. It’s unfortunate, but it’s the result of trying to force a market model onto a space that was built for sharing ideas and collaboration, not sales.

  • I get why this feels personal, but I think there’s a deeper problem with the framing. The internet was never meant to be anyone’s marketplace. It was meant to be a place for people to share ideas and work freely, not a storefront.

    The moment we decided the internet should function like a sales platform, artificial scarcity became inevitable. That’s when art turned into “content,” and creativity got optimized for algorithms instead of people. Freedom and monetization can’t really coexist online the business model always wins.

  • Back in the day this just meant that people would mobilize and flood the platform with pro Palestinian content just to troll.

  • For the yougun's, the people posting this stuff are the same people who posted all the same shit about crypto when it was $12,000. Be careful who you listen to just because its in a meme.

  • The more successful you are the less you're exploited. That's a piece that pisses me off how the left keeps new generations hobbled their entire lives. So yes the harder you're work means you are rewarded if you choose the right careers which is the point. I've met so many Lefty's who refuse to pick a good career. Like 35 year old workers in the service industry who choose to be there that are angry they're not granted more wages or benefits. I wish the left would adopt more of the attitude on the right which is just work hard.

    Advertising works by getting under your radar, introducing new ideas without bothering your conscious mind. Extensive scientific research shows that, when exposed to advertising, people “buy into” the materialistic values and goals it encourages. Consequently, they report lower levels of personal wellbeing, experience conflict in relationships, engage in fewer positive social behaviours, and experience detrimental effects on study and work. Critically, the more that people prioritise materialistic values and goals, the less they embrace positive attitudes towards the environment – and the more likely they are to behave in damaging ways.

    Even worse, findings from neuroscience reveal that advertising goes as far as lodging itself in the brain, rewiring it by forming physical structures and causing permanent change.

    So not sure what your experience is in marketing but in my experience and from research I've looked into, it isn't just convincing people what they already know. It works to change views through repetitive messaging.

    So to sum up. I think you're wrong. I think the left is wrong because they feel like you do and are really missing something that the right have accepted for a long time. They're playing chess and the left don't even understand they're even playing a game.

  • You didn't answer my question at all. Why do companies and celebrities and people who are powerful and who have access to the best and brightest minds pay so much for an online presence?

    Ads work. Majority of them you don't even realize are ads. But they work. People like you on the left are so oblivious to this stuff. I don't get it. It's so obvious and you all just keep refusing to see the answers right in front of your faces.
