If 90% of the world's food production was going towards making cake, would you be mad at the food industry and the people who only eat cake?

I think they're just kind of a symbol for the shallowness of the movie industry, self indulgent pieces that are all budget and no art. I get it.

A lot of people really hate these movies.

Huh, no idea what's going on there. I'm not a Fediverse expert, I just took over the Jungle comm when the previous mod was looking for someone to take over.

I've been super busy and haven't posted much lately, I'm generally the only one posting there though there have been a few new contributors recently. This coming weekend will be my first free time for a while so I'll try and catch up on adding some Jungle. Feel free to get involved :]

Thanks for your recent posts to the Jungle comm btw, nice to have someone else contributing :]

One of my favourite electronic tracks ever. The whole album is a masterpiece.

Thanks for this thoughtful, nuanced contribution to the community.

The part you're missing in this discussion is the way that modern social media systems are built to algorithmically encourage "engagement", which almost always results in extreme and polarising opinions being pushed by the platforms. There are always shitty people in online spaces but those shitty people are disproportionately more visible in most social media because of the this.

DC and Marvel own all the rights to all of their characters, it was the primary motivation behind the exodus of superstar talent from those companies to form Image comics in the early 90s, where creators owned the rights to their characters.

I don't think Moore has any say in it.

What a wild time to be alive, man.

The standard payment to an artist on Spotify is "$0.003 to $0.005 per stream": https://simplebeen.com/artists-make-on-spotify/

That is basically nothing for any artist that isn't in the top tier of mainstream success.

prior to Spotify coming along the industry was in decline as downloading MP3’s on torrents and file sharing programs was the norm

You're essentially pirating music by using Spotify, you are not paying the artists that you listen to in any meaningful way.
