Reddit was awesome. It’s sad what became of it. Jumped ships that took me to Lemmy-kbin Land!

I love games, gamification and chat roleplaying, socializing with people, volunteering, different lists and difficult topics!

  • I don’t remember when I watched the telly at home previously. Most of my entertainment are games and then some YouTube and movies not so often (lurking in friend’s online streaming services or googling “watch x for free”).

    Stopped watching the television when too many ads erupted even between the movies that were my last interest in this service.

    Most of my telly shows I see nowadays are at a friend’s place, and I’m every time annoyed about the amount of ads.

    Hmm. Depends probably on do you leave the knives out, have paper/cardboard/plastic knives or real fighter knives with the costume!

    An easier Halloween costume is Ghostface. No trousers and a shirt/jacket but a robe.
    My friend drew the outline of the knife he uses in the movie in cardboard and I added many layers, getting a nice, thicker cardboard knife!

    Lol wut?
    Are you implying that the movie is terrible?

    Obviously because I enjoy the movie and because I want to share my annual watching ritual with her 😂

    .

    I don’t like or dislike those scenes any more or less than the rest of the movie. When concerning the movie’s plot - the torture you mentioned has a function that builds the character further in a certain direction. It also determines what will happen next. Just like what any other scene would do.

    I also point out just in case that I don’t approve torture.

    Buying a (premium) service to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
    Do you have the money? Do you get enough kicks out of the money you would be spending? Do you know the pros and cons of subscribing/going in a service (what will they provide for the money spent?)? Do you want to support the service - even so far to provide them money? You need to provide additional data of yourself to make the purchase and may even need to learn how to do it - are you ready for that?

    Getting an (ad-blocking) extension to a browser to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
    Do you know how to start using extensions in browsers and what to do if you need to troubleshoot them? Is it free (are paid extensions even a thing? I don’t recall seeing one)? Can you support someone you would want to support with a ad-blocker (some decent folks who make good content may be in need of the money they get from ads, but then again, there’s a chance you can send them money through other means)? Are you supporting a service that has an built-in feature that annoys you (in this case, providing ads for the users to see), endorsing such behavior (even more) even though you cannot see those ads yourself?

    Both options may require research. Both options are influenced by other people and by their opinions. Both options have their pros and cons. Both options have consequences.

    .

    I don’t buy any subscriptions. I wouldn’t have the money for that and I have bad experiences of them.
    I can support someone with a grateful comment or sharing their content to others.
    I myself stick with the ad-blocking services.

    But don’t let me influence you with what/how I do it 😉 Make up yer own mind and act accordingly.


  • I think it’s the same reason YouTube can keep shooting itself in the foot and still thrive: it’s where all the eyeballs are concentrated now.

    Yeah…it is difficult to jump ships and try out another service - even when the other service is generally a better option than the previous one - if you don’t get an audience big enough to even bother starting with the otherwise better service.
