not to be pretentious, but a lot of stuff you guys complain is being ruined by capitalism/the algorithm/whatever can be solved by consuming something else than the most basic mainstream stuff that's thrown in your lap. "songs nowadays are getting shorter to fit entire tiktoks and it's ruining music" have you tried listening to something else than Spotify's Top 100 my dude? "fanfiction-to-publishing pipeline is churning out mediocre books and it's ruining literature" have you tried reading something outside the NYT bestseller list my dude? This is not a post about how algorithm based industries give visibility to the lowest common denominator art at the expense of actually creative and meaningful art that struggles to make itself known, which is a valid discussion for another time, this is about people actively not giving this kind of art their visibility because they won't get out of their way to discover stuff outside the mainstream radar and prefer to be passively fed what to consume while bitching that is not up to their tastes.
people who try to get more attention on their fandom posts by separately tagging all the main characters regardless of each character's presence in the post are my worst enemies. if i want general series posts i will go to the series tag so if you specifically promise me images of my specialest little guy and you are lying to me i will be very upset
lol PLEASE don’t fall for the “they’re banning TikTok bc the Zionists are controlling the media and don’t want people to know the truth about Palestine!!” shit
My guys it’s literally a national security/international relations tiff between the US and China. The ban is fundamentally flawed—not because they’re oppressing “free speech”— but because the US wants to set a precedent to seize or ban Chinese companies. It’s sinophobia, absolutely, but acting like this is a free speech issue or an example of “Zionist” media control (just say Jews, your antisemitism is so obvious at this point) is laughable. US politicians going after TikTok has been ongoing for far longer than the current crisis in Palestine. The push to ban TikTok has its roots in the Trump administration, so there’s been political momentum for over 4 years now.
Social media companies are not venues for protected free speech! They’re profit-seeking corporations and don’t give a damn about free speech if it gets them money. You’re already censoring your speech on TikTok for fuck’s sake. If I have to see one more post about “Zionists are controlling the media!” from someone that regularly types “unalive” instead of “kill” and has to put a 🐓emoji when they mean “cock” I’m gonna scream.
addendum: this post is taking off so I just want to say that for the record I am not a Zionist but it’s fucked up that some of you assume I am because I called out antisemitism. You don’t get to ignore antisemitism because you have an assumption that any Jew calling out antisemitism on the left is a Zionist. Do better.
And if you want a timeline of the TikTok ban please see this article from Axios:

another reminder to stop buying/watching/reading anything JK Rowling associated
I cannot stress enough she is a primary funder of transphobia. She is not just someone with bigoted views you can seperate from her work, her work funds the bigotry.
