chasing "not worth paying attention to" for tv shows is a wild strategy

ENOUGH 🤬🤬🤬

why anyone would choose to pay monthly fees to second-screen watch shows on netflix and not the loads of free youtube videos made for exactly that is beyond me

Yeah and not making better stories

If I wanted exposition dumps I'd watch an anime at this point.

Beats their "let a great show last long enough to build a fervid audience then unceremoniously cancel it for no reason" strategy.

Netflix is making the most most expensive audiobooks ever

Really underscores the problem with having artistic pursuits 100% dominated by analytics

All Hail the Green Line That Goes Up. Renounce the Red Line That Goes Down and all those that worship it with their unholy creative pursuits and charity. Profit be with you 🙏

I mean. it sucks but its also the model for 99% of network tv and youtube content. they want that pasive consumer.

Like….at that point, why not just listen to podcasts and such? That’s what we do. Or even just watch shows we’re familiar with that we don’t mind listening to. -Bones System

coreybrickley.bsky.social•59 days ago

ya i just have video essays and podcasts going all the time while im working. if i wanna watch a tv show i put my phone in another room bc i wanna get invested in whats happening

steekira.bsky.social•59 days ago

If we’re watching anime, we really want to look at the pretty art. So especially then, we want to pay attention. At the most we knit while watching something like that.

Most of the shows I enjoy now are like exclusively D&D podcasts. It’s just so versatile but also good and abundant

steekira.bsky.social•59 days ago

I need to actually watch D&D podcasts. They honestly sound fun and wholesome.

luiskingking.bsky.social•59 days ago

I personally recommend either The Adventure Zone or Dungeons and Daddies. TAZ is 3 brothers and their dad playing characters who retrieve dangerous artifacts, and D&Dads is the RocketJump team playing a game about Dads from our world sent to the D&D world to rescue their sons. Both are amazing

My exact thoughts lol

Back to Naruto-style fillers we go 🔥

THIS IS WHY WE HAVE PODCASTS! THIS IS WHY AUDIOBOOKS EXIST!!!

they're just... reinventing radio shows?

guiz.bsky.social•60 days ago

more and more I believe time is a flat circle

vickorano.com•60 days ago

the way people are tired of multiple subscriptions, binge watching & want a schedule back... like..
cable exists...

guiz.bsky.social•60 days ago

exactly LMAO

seeing people yearn for the "return" of cable is how I understood why that business model worked for so long, and why more and more streaming platforms are failing (or pretending not to).

it's really interesting if you stop to think about it imo

vickorano.com•59 days ago

legacy media depended on one single type of service per medium; radio, cable, CD, DVD, print... the Internet & corporate greed threw all that out the window. you can do it all online so why produce them individually, just save money by making it digital & selling it at the same price point. 🙄

vickorano.com•59 days ago

now everyone's realizing we don't actually own the things we buy digitally, unless it has a physical copy. we're going backwards! and paying EXTRA for it!
