I was going to chime in with something similar. It used to not be free to be creative before (unless you pirated). It was actually more expensive. You had to work full time in person at a studio, or be a student, to have access to creative software. I think the idea of freemium has ruined the expectations of people a bit, as people expect things to be for free.

That being said, I don’t think there’s been a cheaper time to be a digital creative, because of all the open source and free options people have now. Will you be able to keep making money from for the long run? Probably not, but it can remain a hobby.

I didn’t think Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad could last as long as it did. Good thing I wasn’t the creator of those shows.

Silo is onto season 3 soon, and it seems to be doing the same numbers. Hopefully they give him a heads up if it’s cancelled.

What exactly have they been saying to you?

Thank you! It’s sad this comment is so far down. This has been one of the most confusing group of responses I’ve read on the fediverse so far. So many angry and unmovable people who sound like they don’t communicate with humans.

Sooooooo they “have” the money to buy out Warner Bros, but somehow don’t have the money to sustain subscription prices. Funny how economics works.

A Netflix cancellation? Is it already that day of the week?

It has definitely changed, since you are no longer limited to a photo reel number limit. The moments are no longer unique in the same way.

I think this is the thing that worries me. I had recently heard of something who lost 20yrs of data from apple for some weird issue.

I also think people treasure images less just because of how much they take today. I don’t think people used to take pictures of their foods at restaurants for example.

I trust in what they are trying to do. People also complained about the Severance pacing. AppleTV has more shows that require patience. I am curious how they plan to have this last many seasons, but I said the same about Better Call Saul.

Kind of looks like it’s trying to channel Kung Fury.

Yeah there’s been a few versions like this. If your entire world blew up when you were a teenager and everyone you knew was gone, it would be reasonable to not start off as a chipper person.

I do know it’s huge. It was me mostly making a joke about many of the comments on the fediverse being doom and gloom, while Star Trek is about hope and bringing all walks of life together for the better good.

It may be too hopeful of an IP for the people on the fediverse.

I use generative fill for clean up almost daily now.

Ironically, photoshop does have ai powered tools that remove backgrounds now. Not sure why they are giving themselves extra steps.

Next up should be crunchyroll.

This would be an interesting comic strip. A company that has purchased all the fonts in existence, and then the artist doing the comic you are reading gets sued by the company he’s making a comic about, because he doesn’t have the rights to the font.

Literally just commented in another post about Netflix’s growing graveyard of shows and this was the next thing I saw.

I think these are long term games. Look at Netflix who has a growing graveyard of cancelled shows. People are noticing. Andor is a finished product with acclaim that people will keep coming back to over decades. It’s one of the reasons why Disney was hesitant to start doing blu-ray releases again. I think they finally figured out that the streaming and blu-ray crowds are different markets.
