Putting actual work in and getting paid is fine. Monetization of half assery and thirst trawling is not.

 

Going to have to disagree with you there.  On a basic economic basis, if someone is willing to buy it, at whatever price, it doesn't matter how much effort was or wasn't put into producing it.  Some sucker is willing to buy it.

Case in point (sorta): OnlyFans.  That's a whole 'nuther can of worms, but the basic concept is sound.

The basics of the Can of Worms is that whilst porn is porn, guys (mostly) are paying for the theoretical emotional "connection", not just the sterile picture or video they can get anywhere and everywhere.  It's the dopamine hit that comes with individual recognition that they are paying for.  Quite literally paying out of pocket for a dopamine hit.  A drug is a drug is a drug.

but who cares

Some amazing pricks can make pretty good content. Inflated egos are just a byproduct of success and I don't mind so long as they can back all that talk up with their work. I also remember that people are people and say fucked-up things from time to time and to try and not hold it against them unless it becomes their habit. I've said plenty of things that I wish I could take back.

Utterly differing contexts.

 

A woman's body and the parts thereof she decided to monetize are required for onlyfans. A modder using other people's unpaid content with no remuneration to them which is what we were talking about there is some ol bullshit. There are three "modders" here for Beth games that have not made a single pixel vertex or alphanumeric symbol of their own content with openly advertized patreons here, one of whom is making about 10K a month. Using other people's shit.

 

Quite a few more in the Sims section.

 

Last time I checked SweetAnita isn't strutting out Amouranth on onlyfans for money, Amouranth and her boyfriend are. People paying them money based on internalized fanfiction is none of my business, especially in light of Amouranth's public and repeated vox-opines on the subject.

yeah, that's cool except you're participating right now so that part where you try to rely on semantics to get anything accomplished in any kind of contextually appropriate argumentation isn't going to be happening in this thread. At all.

 

You're conflating reddit's treatment of any content they don't approve of versus enai as some amazing content provider unfairly impugned by a random angry mob, except when it was time to excoriate arthmoor, enai was right there, pitchfork in hand and it's the de facto method of reddit dealing with anything. What comes around, goes around and your opinion has yet to be any kind of factual barometer for otherwise.

 

You seem to think that I specifically care only about Enai (who I don't really know outside of his mods) because I mentioned his name once in my primary post but you keep ignoring the other parts where I specifically state that they purge any one who goes against their perceived pseudo moralistic stance. Also an opinion is not supposed to be factual because it's a subjective opinion not an objective fact so I'm not sure where that plays into the equation.

 

All I said was it sucks Enai was banned and the sub reddit seems to have a stick up their butt for certain opinions. You are reading a bit more into the statement that what's actually there I think.

Enai has always considered himself the ultrachim of scripting so the part where I agree with you that he has been unfairly maligned for not worshipping the golden glowing transcended feet of alphabet soup people is never going to happen because he earned every ounce of hate he currently accrued of his own volition by describing how amazing he is at coding and how much you suck at coding by not being him and daring to question his completely stupid gameplay implementation decisions.

 

Then you look at his mods and while they are efficient and clean "on clean up", they're also dumb as fuck arbitrary RNG simulators for the most arbitrary conditions that only an ultra sperg lord would give a fuck about and do not enhance TES worldbuilding in any way shape or form

A planetary sized ego is very common on the internet. On that note "MAI IMMURSSION!" is so overrated. Following the perverse canon of the Elder Scrolls is a lost cause at this point given how much Bethesda loves breaking its own rules. Also I'm pretty sure you offended several people with Asperger's syndrome that may or may not include 99% of stargazers. Good job (slow clap).

 

I do agree that RNG is good in moderation but only as personal opinion. What counts as moderation is up to individual taste. For example Snakes and Ladders is all luck and people love it.

Or you're just ignoring what's been going on for almost ten years and the fact your hero mans is sexmod negative and ironically got kicked off a sex mod negative reddit whilst you're posting about it on a sex mod forum.

It feels funny watching everyone else report bugs with mods on presumably legitimate copies of a game while I have experienced next to no bugs on an illegitimate copy of a game that has likely had all of th extra unwanted/unnecessary BS removed from it. Basically what I'm saying is it makes me wonder if a lot of said bugs are being caused by fuckery that is only present in legitimate copies of the game in question.

Running three different copy protection schemes, two of which are known to cause performance degradation in one exe thread suite is probably fucking stupid. Very high probability of being fucking stupid.

Isn't that sad though? I mean those programs really don't have the intended affect, they never have, all they do is make things miserable for everyone else. Also I'm not very comfortable with the fact that some of the things added to legitimate copies of games will litterally allow game publishers to spy on you, allegedly for marketing and repair purposes.

 

Yeah, really stupid indeed..

Well, it finally happened. YouTube shadow-banned me from posting comments. I've been hearing about the same thing happening to others since January as a way of discouraging folks from engaging when they say things that Susan Woke-jicki and Big Tech don't like. Like independent and critical thinking, the actual facts regarding stories, and pretty much anything that offends snowflakes.

 

I'm actually a bit proud that Big Tech feels like I'm an annoyance. Not enough to do anything more about but certainly enough for their beloved "machine learning" to try and ignore.

[LongDukDong]

CONGRATULATIONS!  I got blasted in 2015 by Facebook for the same thing... even referring to their 'own' posted material, let alone full-coverage video footage (no clip-jobs like they wanna use).

I'm pretty sure I'm in the same boat actually. These days I'll post a comment and it will get 0 likes which is unusual for any comment really, or it will get one like within a week where as before I can go back and look at other comments I've posted and they'll have 40 to 350 likes minimum. I've noticed with myself in the past, and I've seen the algorithm do this to other people, but they'll chuck your comment all the way down the list, far enough that most people wouldn't bother to read that far, other times they've just flat out deleted comments I've posted for some obscure reason(s). I know it's not necessarily the stuff I'm saying because that kind of thing doesn't happen in content creator news feeds nearly as often (the likes part I mean) or when I leave replies under other people's comments. The other thing I think they've started doing is having AIs comment on shadow banned accounts and leave likes (possibly with the intent on making it seem like you haven't been shadow banned, though that's speculation) and I think these are AIs because if you read what is posted carefully you can pick out things that just don't make sense, even from the standpoint of it being a troll, like the comments will say things that are really obvious, or related to something you posted on a completely different video two days ago, or the comments will be.. I dunno how to describe this but "dead ends", or very "hello fellow kids"... if that makes sense.

Shadow Banning is per channel and done by the channel holders. Youtube just gives them the tools, in addition to autobanning for the usual certain words, so if you're banned somewhere, it's because the channel author did it, or you used one of the auto-words.

If what you say is correct then that means there are a LOT of (free speech promoting and therefor) hypocritical pussies out there with YouTube channels.. and with that bit of knowledge I definitely feel no more shame in watching with Adblock turned on, on the offhand chance that IS the case. While some of the stuff I say can be a bit abrasive (but true) a good bit of it is fairly benign goofy stuff or comments that are actually constructive (in a non abrasive or offensive way).

I also started watching with Adblock turned on when we started getting a commercial every 3 - 4 minutes on a short video.

 

 

As for the algorithm - Apparently it isn't tuned to anagrams, as I've been wondering if I would get some negativity from comments I've made about Malaka Harris.

Same happens to from time to time - sometimes my comment sticks, sometimes it dissapears without a trace.  Which of course makes me mad even more and more radical and give even less of shit if someone Minecraft these fuckers.

Oh and im pissed off as hell. 
Rimthreaded put out new release, it was supposed to be bug free and all. I tried it, fell in love with absolute beast of a mod it is and then it turns out that mod crashes the game for me at random parts and still is buggy as fuck.. And im fucking pissed to high hell because that god damned lazy cunt Tynan said "hurr durr multicore isnt something that Rimworld players need hurr durr" when that game is so much better when running multicore.
I fucking hate lazy game devs like Tynan who put out barebones shitty DLC instead of fixing the fucking game.

"You wonder what the US amount is"

About 5 million a year

[Grey Cloud]

On the one hand we have all you people decrying and bemoaning what bad things, e.g., Google and YouTube are, and on the other hand we have the same people posting links to, e.g., YouTube videos exposing the 'truth' about this or that.

 

No doubt there is a logical and legitimate reason for this and it is down to some sort of shortcoming on my part as to why I cannot grasp it.

Kind of a non story, though the generation of waste product should be a concern if disposed in an environmentally unsound manner.    I think this is more of a way to hammer "evil" capitalism  and how "how gross it is"..."can you imagine"....  I didn't watch the entire clip ( only got to 5 minute mark) but perhaps I should have waited to hear the "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need"....which works in small doses (Israeli Kibbutz being an example) but has failed on a macro scale.   

 

I suppose this is the great circle:   Take a risk and build something great, have other people demand to be given a part of the greatness, forced out of the greatness because  the risks you took were not risks they are comfortable with, take a risk and building something great elsewhere.

Did you include Eso's canon in that statement or do you value your sanity?

Ultimately does Bethesda canon really matter at this point ? I assume we're all just zigzagin' and avoiding every iterations of

"Keep it.. simple... stupid... it's my personal rule to write stories, without having to write them, because i'm a big lazy wanker!

So what are Bethesda stories ?? They're stories where I write myself in, so I can insult players randomly, which sums all the depth of my persona!"

There's nothing non about it. The reason it's getting trashed is to keep prices from falling.
