This is definitely one of those situations imo where such responsibility falls squarely on parents and inviting the government to handle such a thing will create far more issues than it would resolve.

I’d like that too, the reality though is that she is the deciding vote on the judiciary committee right now and if she steps down the republicans will refuse to seat a replacement halting any confirmations… So right now they feel like they have to Weekend at Bernies her in order to keep confirming judges. Politics sucks.

@RightHandOfIkaros If they are just painting for themselves to learn new techniques or styles, no. If they are purposely trying to copy it to sell or pass off as the original artist, yes. A for-profit corperation taking works that have not been authorized for commercial use in order to develop their for-profit software is indeed stealing.

An independent artist learning new styles and gaining inspiration in creating their own work is not at all the same as a profit driven software corperation stealing other artists works on a massive scale to develop their own commercial products. That’s on top of most artists like myself prohibiting using our work for private commercial gain unless properly compensated or credited.

For real. The whole list I’m like “good luck” ha. It’s going to transcend reality by scraping data off Twitter and Reddit? Have fun with that. It sounds just like every other self assured egotistical ‘guru’ charlatan, completely talking out its digital ass.

What were the most popular news sources for that demo in the past? Facebook? MySpace? Sunday morning cartoons? When has that demographic ever had a ‘most popular news source’?

Also! The very first graph actually shows the BBC rated 10% higher than tiktok, but that’s not click bait enough, so they separated the BBC into subcategories so they could say tiktok was highest 🤦‍♂️

It’s the price history of a product. It was $15 cheaper 2 weeks ago compared to the ‘prime day’ price. Browser plug-ins like camelcamelcamel will show charts like this

I am no longer posting any of my work to reddit. Maybe if they started profit sharing with actual content creators I’d consider going back, but the hubris, greed, and animosity they’ve shown towards the users and mods that freely provide content/work that make the site worth anything has been infuriating.

I was a daily user for a frickin decade both posting and lurking… Haven’t been to reddit in almost 3 weeks now. Onward to the fediverse 👍
