They probably have no one who can photoshop „44TB“ on a Hard Drive and don‘t think it‘s worth hiring someone on Fiverr to do it. Media designers, being the creatives that they are were always undervalued and among the first to lose their jobs to AI.
I mean, yes obv, my point was if it was really needed for that.
At the end of the day they still want things to look flashy of course. They know they need a thumbnail to stick out. They don‘t value creative work because it‘s hard to measure and it‘s everywhere. So the question emerges „Oh, how hard can it be when it is everywhere?“ That sentiment is multiplied times 10 since image generation became a thing. The internet already looks like a soulless slop machine because creative work is undervalued but still needed everywhere.
