Honestly, may as well be. I wish there was some way to have an internet that wasn't bots, or subject to advertising and marketing creeps, but that's just not gonna happen outside of like... I don't know. I don't even know where the infrastructure would begin for humans to separate themselves online and build an actual community. It would be tough. It's a shame, really. This could have been so good.

It's 'case in point', by the way.

Maybe the situation here is different, but in the video game industry when boycotts happen due to scummy business practices and then get instantly forgiven, those companies in question usually figure out a new way to implement those scummy practices that flies under the radar. Or they just do it again, at a better time.

I can't help but feel Disney will now work out a new way to appease the fascist regime, but without openly annoying supporters like this. Maybe those private "thoughtful conversations" they had with Kimmel contained some directives. Maybe we'll get a more neutered show now. Appeasing the regime is the problem really.

Unfortunately, I disagree. I'm sure we've both seen how thoroughly amused even a lot of adults are by AI.

Celebrity culture sucks, but replacing them with celebrity AIs is much worse, much sadder, and much weirder. Also, despite celebrity culture sucking, a lot of celebrities are artists. I don't want artists to go away. I want the suits to go away.

And then gained the majority of them back immediately after unsuspending him I would guess? As consumers, we are far far far too quick to forgive.
