Well said and I'm glad to see this perspective expressed. "Entertainment" is the spice we give art to well, spice it up. But without the art part, pure entertainment is to our minds like eating a bowl of candy is to our bodies.
Oh yeah I should have mentioned that the whole interview is great
Good catch!
Someone said elsewhere that that whole plot is EXTREMELY in the vibe of TOS and it made me appreciate it a lot more.
Totally I loved seasons 4 and 5 the most
LOL and we are better for it
Yeah I have to imagine much of it is bots/artificial views already, this line from the article stood out:
That means this short reel has been viewed more times than every single article 404 Media has ever published, combined and multiplied tens of times.
It doesn't shock me a single reel has significantly more views than all of 404 media, but "multiplied tens of times"? A recent comment me chuckle:
"Investor fraud is basically the entire business model of well basically everything anymore."
(implying the ad views are faked to increase the stock price).
I think it's interesting how "maximizing for engagement" inevitably leads to slop taking over everything. I wonder if real people (with real money) will continue to engage with the slop? Some people surely, but enough to sustain these mega-corps?

I'm not sure what this is meant to convey but I upvoted it anyway because I didn't want to experience bij.
