Obviously it’s higher. If it was any lower, they would’ve made a huge announcement out of it to prove they’re better than the competition.

This is the first time they’ve been caught. It would be naive to think this is the only time this has happened. No doubt they’ve scrubbed data of bad actors on their side many times without anyone knowing.

I don’t believe so, I think it has to do more with seeing something novel that you don’t get to see every day. Like, not many people have the means to fill a house with elephant toothpaste, so when someone does that it makes for a pretty entertaining video.

I wonder if there’s a market here. I feel like a company that cleans up AI bullshit would make bank lol

Why do they exclusively only cancel good shows (Mindhunter, Inside Job, now this) and keep up actual garbage?? I don’t think Netflix has made a wise business decision ever, the only reason they’re successful is because they were the first. They’re lucky Blockbuster didn’t buy them.

turns out a lot of people didn’t pay attention in 6th grade social studies.

unhoused? say what it actually is. homelessness. news sites need to stop promoting the stupid euphemism treadmill, it doesn’t help anyone but themselves.

Right? I can see why they would want to write a season from her perspective, but one of the reasons people really resonated with S1 is because Joel was such a believable, relatable character with a tragic backstory. Someone whose decisions might be irredeemable devoid of context but completely understandable in the moment. Someone with glaring flaws who’s trying his damnedest to fix them under insurmountable pressure.

If the writers can pull that off with Abbie I’d be over the moon, but I don’t know if they can.

Oh yeah absolutely. Without Joel, the series suffers so much because of how well Pedro Pascal nailed the role imo. It really, really wanted you to care about Ellie’s relationship but I just couldn’t because her character was so wildly unlikable. I didn’t feel that the way the second game/season was written advanced the overarching theme of the series.

For that reason, I’m probably going to end up skipping the upcoming season. You’d be better off exploring similar themes in different media lol

Second season of The Last of Us. Never played the second game so I went in blind after really liking the first season. The writing and dialogue were godawful and I just could not give less of a shit about the direction it was headed. I get that the show is more about interpersonal relations in the face of extreme hardship than killing zombies and cool action scenes, but the second season was just so slow in advancing the plot that it left me completely disengaged.

hey my dude, you have an interesting post history. what inspires your posts? care to share your story?
