b) this is a remarkable incentive to NOT acknowledge criticism. I mean, if I'm Meta and I see this often, what is the incentive to not just force everybody to EULA away as much as possible?
how incredibly fucking dishonest. profit motive is more than enough incentive for them to continue to do what they've already been doing for close to two decades.
"don't boycott exceptionally shitty companies or you're responsible when they just get worse" is possibly the worst take i've seen so far on lemmy.
do you struggle to play peekaboo? how do you not grasp that they're feeding into the same software ecosystem and your data is being stored in the same database?
it's nice that the issue doesn't affect you, but acting as if it doesn't affect anyone else is solipsistic and tone deaf.
obviously the problem isn't with jaws 3 specifically, it's with an ever-growing trend in the entertainment industry.
It's like AI upscales became a thing and the studios tossed out whatever previous methods they used, that seemingly worked JUST FINE, in favour of new technology that has GLARING flaws such as this.
i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that they saved more money on the cheap method than they'll lose based on the quality of the 'remasters'.
"the original is available illegally or secondhand" is not even a little bit reassuring. of course someone will preserve old media but a large barrier to access is obviously not ideal.
Underrated comment 😂
no one is going to take you seriously
you'd do well to study up on operant conditioning because this is actually a pretty well understood field of social science. i made a comment for the little turd shitting up my website and he'll see it sooner or later. if we're fortunate, it'll encourage better behavior in the future. whether you like it or not means fuck all to anyone. keep flapping those gums tho.
you're right, let's just coddle everyone who shits up our app experience, that's a much more efficient way to race to the bottom.
i don't give a shit that you don't like what i'm saying or how i'm saying it. you can't encourage this behavior and then act shocked when it spreads all over your platform and ruins the experience for anyone trying to actually participate beyond memes and platitudes. a little unpleasantness can go a long way when it comes to discouraging antisocial behavior that someone is plainly predisposed toward.
its not like we karma farm on lemmy
that's exactly what the comment i'm responding to is doing. it contributes nothing and serves only to inflate the poster's ego and piggyback on upvotes on the comment it's responding to. admittedly that works a lot less well when it's not on a platform that artificially inflates votes on frontpage content.
no one knows if its just someone trying to try out online communication for the first time.
if they're new to it, all the better they be pushed into good habits out of the gate and not be rewarded for shoveling slop onto everyone's plates
"underrated comment" "came here to post this" "so much this" i swear to fuck if we let this community turn into reddit 2.0 with trite nonsense indistinguishable from bot posts spammed all over every comment section then i will never forgive you motherfuckers who let it happen by trying so hard to be nice.
leave this shit on reddit please, if something deserves more upvotes just fucking upvote it.
specifically, without any other input, it will backstep
and x is the default dodge button on playstation
Because I wasn't trying to get the best deal
then why are you mad that you didn't get the best deal?
"people are no longer paying for things they don't need! this is a disaster!"
MKULTRA was the result of Allen Dulles's hypno kink.
not only did they gut the API for actual people, they carved out exceptions for "low volume users" to keep the bots inflating activity
now they've literally stolen from the people who paid to support the site in the first place. absolutely shameless
still, i'm shocked to read that his survival instincts wouldn't overcome his conditioning. that doesn't happen by accident, his captor knew what he was doing.
