    That’s a long list of companies I’m not going to fuck with anymore. They can produce whatever they want, doesn’t mean we have to consume it.

      We are absolutely NOT obligated to consume ANY of that corporatist shit.

      Best thing I did was get rid of my TV when I cut the cable back in 1999.

      My current TV is a 50" budget “special needs” 4k Hisense I use for gaming. That’s it.

              I have just been struck by the absurdity of discussing the merits of news networks and video games with a person choosing to call themselves “Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart”…

                  Fox News and CNN balance each other out so you end up with unbiased coverage.

                  Maybe at one point this was true, but Fox News has gone off the deep end, and CNN is now owned by a right wing billionaire.

            Now I’m really curious as to what he wrote to me that you slapped down…

            This is what I get for gaming most of last night.

            Ah well…

          They don’t teach you to be a hateful bigot, though, unless you count shooting brown people in CoD.

      It won’t be hard to avoid. Most of it is going to be lame propaganda that you wouldn’t want to watch anyway.

        They’re also going to go full-on into AI slop, which you likewise won’t want to watch.

          The slop is INSANE!

          I’ve been “Do not recommend channel”-ing my youtube feed for the last few weeks., it went off the rails when my brother sent me a link to some “HFY” sci-fi short story.

          I had no idea those were all AI content and once I watched part of one… holy cats, that was it.

          Say goodbye to my carefully curated home page.

          FUUUUCCK!

            I’ve been diligently curating mine for about 3-4 months, and it’s gotten a lot better. Be sure to keep at it.

      Consuming it, but not paying them anything for it, is also an option, but I certainly respect avoiding it altogether out of principle.
