It subordinates all creative output to the priorities of advertising. On Lemmy (in fact any web forum) I'm a member and a discussion participant. I don't 'make content' for it - it suggests the only value in my posting to a Lemmy is to 'attract eyeballs'.
The ability to dress and chisel marble and have your creations still talked about half a millennia later, and being the most recognizable singer on the planet, aren't fungible.
Has Lemmy ever noticed how much the Anglophone web speaks like advertisers now?
I'm off to Youtube now to watch some content. Gotta get that new content! Thanks to modern networking technologies I'll never run out of content! Does the non-English web do the same? Are the French and Russians and Chinese similarly indoctrinated?
Let's rewrite some Wikipedia entry intros to see our adopted term work its wonders:
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni[a] (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), known mononymously as Michelangelo,[b][1] was an Italian content creator of the High Renaissance.`
Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950) was an English content creator who wrote content under the pen name of George Orwell.[2][3]
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American content creator. Dubbed the "King of Content", he is regarded as one of the most significant figures of the 20th century. Over a four-decade career, his content broke racial barriers in America and made him a global figure. Through content, he proliferated visual performance for artists in popular music; popularizing content including the moonwalk (which he named), the robot, and the anti-gravity lean. Jackson is often deemed the greatest content creator of all time based on his content and subscribers.[1]
After watching Content on Youtube I'll probably visit the zoo to marvel at the meat. Then later I might load Pornhub and watch some meat. By then it'll be time for some dinner, so the butcher will fix me up with some meat.
This language demeans all creative endeavour. It trashes our ability to communicate. When read out loud it's infantilising too.

You're mistaking the tool for the wielder. It's not some stuffy mastheads deciding Australia will remain a cheap quarry, it's capital deciding.
For the same reason captive animals die quickly in the wild; the same reason Mozilla fixates on its social justice campaigns and pays its CEO millions while presiding over a collapse in market share. When the basis of your ability to survive is guaranteed, you get lazy. Malfeasance grows like mould. There's no need for prudent capital management when your competition is eliminated by government dictat. The tiger gets fed by the zookeepers, its teeth can go blunt.
The management layer is notoriously shit in casinos. Governments literally babysit them by appointing people to senior management when it gets particularly bad (ie. when even the public pegs the real object of casinos: bringing offshore money into the country to help government fund itself).

This comms near-constant links to media coverage of what the Empire is up to. I'd like to see some information about what the Alliance is doing about it, so I can work out who to fund and raise awareness for. How organized is the Euro equivalent of the EFF? The Can/Aus equivalent?
The term to use is filsharing
because you know servers don't need that shit.
No. Dead wrong. It's precisely the frontline staff who need customer feedback, and if makes them uncomfortable then so much the better.
It's the rank and file's job to pass criticism of the service offering on in team meetings, culture surveys, etc. My job sucks this week because I have to do x and yet the customers all hate it. Staff will drive change to policy when it's their ears copping the response day-to-day.
'I couldn't possibly bother the floor person' is code for 'I am going to tolerate in silence any corporate policy no matter how obnoxious', and line management and the executive know it.

It's worth going in blind. But for the impatient, here's an insightful review: https://www.themoviedb.org/review/5cc25a01c3a3681e6b805326
Protector of arresting color palettes. Spiritual sponsor of NPBs. Discarder of crepes.
This film's second act has a stereotype/racial epithet montage that will always be funny.
First of all, Monos is a film set in the jungle, so you know it's already good (see Raiders, Jurassic Park, Sorcerer, Predator, Apocalypto, etc.). Secondly, Landes has an eye for scene composition and potent metaphor. Thirdly, it gets awfully good performances out of a mostly amateur cast.

Surely people see this for what it is, a censorship mechanism that relies on people's laziness and preference for convenience for effectiveness.
Even if Apple Intelligence were good, why would anyone in their right mind allow a middleman to interfere with their ability to communicate with others?
