How to Give a Eulogy
How creatives and devs can all finally escape the control of the silicon valley of evil and make a trillion dollars - Multi-hyphenate
well clearly when you're horny, you'll learn the project management tech tool and go into dev files - so you have the ability.
As settlers established communities across the lands now known as [The Americas], they developed extractive and degrading environmental practices that disrupted the balance of the natural world.
Indigenous land stewardship is grounded in respect, long-term responsibility, and reciprocity with the land. In contrast to many Western, human-centred conservation models, it reflects a wholistic and values-driven understanding of the environment that recognizes the importance of living in respectful relationship with all beings. As demonstrated by Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial, this approach can offer important lessons for the future.
Back in 2012, Youtube made a change to their algorithm that fundamentally changed the course of history itself.
They changed their algorithm to prioritize watch time over click-through rates, this directly aided to the rise of Youtube of Let's Plays - my most beloathed genre on Youtube. Let's plays, Get Ready with Mes and Vlogs - very long form content that could be produced cheaply and without much editing or frankly, effort. Hey at least sex acts require some physical skill
Because you all want a camgirl. If you're a dev you know only how to build camgirl platforms. Maybe they're not a girl, maybe they're not directly in front of the camera, but you loveee the algorithm showing you someone that shows you exactly what you love and fear the most. The video game guys who feel like cool friends, the podcasts that complain about the news but never offer solutions other than patreons where you can give them a dollar to show your support for the revolution! The devs who are always showing off their latest gear and set-ups and complaining about other devs.
You
Meaning that I have to hear shit like this all fucking day from both devs and artists,
"What if we made.... Myspace again." (10k reposts, 1.5mil likes)
"omg guys we should make an instagram for artists...." (1 million downloads, dead in a week)
Shit that literally ONE google search would show that other people have, will, and are doing and failing at.
