NOBODY needs to be defending these people. Major publishers, studios, streaming services, Tesla, Apple, Adobe, Amazon, social media companies- there isnt a single altruistic bone caught in their teeth. Profit from the output of exploited and captive labor IS their product now. When their contacts look like the one in question, the company is clearly stating that shareholders are the customers, not us!

Why else would it be anything but a stupid idea for Amazon to just nuke the majority of Comixology's self-published titles when they consolidated their services? If our experience was really foremost in their minds, why would they repeatedly purge, censor, demonitize, bury, and delete popular accounts with robust followings if not to allay the moral brainworms of shareholders and investors?

Forfeiting rights to our IP is not a "shitty deal," it's surrendering any potential ability to make money off of your own creative work. It's selling your property to a board of accountants to pitch into a portfolio. It's theirs to trot out as long as it's profitable and bury the instant its projected profit dips too close to the cost of maintenance. Hell, we've seen services drop popular series just because their projected profits started to flatten out! Mothballing it also has the added bonus of removing it from the market to further minimize potential competition. Like how there just weren't spider man movies for ages because the owner of the property didn't think it was worth developing but worth too much to sell.

They will make more money from suing you for trying to reclaim IP they mothballed than you did selling it to them in the first place. I guaranteee their budget for lawsuits is a lot deeper than the one they pay their "original" artists from.

By virtue of being a big, profitable, corporation, "their" IP is going to have an astronomically higher value in a court of law than any individual creator. The financial "damage" will be higher for infringing on their copyrights than any amount you can claim on your own. When it becomes theirs, their connections, their infrastructure, their reputation makes it an asset with much more value than you or I can possibly claim. So if you try to steal a bite back from them it's a bite of a *potentially* multimillion-dollar series. In their eyes, they bought the totality of your work, which you agreed was worth the price they gave you. It's value becomes more dependent on who owns it than whether it's even good.

You may not have the same potential to become flash-in-the-pan, short-term succesful without their resources, but you will still own your rights to distribute, alter, preserve, promote, and negotiate your share if you still own your work. That is worth everything as a creator who is passionate about what you've made and committed to protecting it.

The most effective power we can exercise as artists is our ability to say, "no" when someone else wants to pay us a disadvantageous fraction of our worth. You may lose potentially lucrative opportunities but "opportunities" presented by companies like Facebook or Twitter, whose real product is a platform for ads and data collection, with content as bait, are not opportunities to thrive on as independent artists. This specifically is an opportunity for the company to acquire property.

The myth that the publisher's strength is something for us to exploit, without them getting the lion's share is a trap that they feed from at will.

People like the poster up top are opportunists who see the process as a pipeline towards trading low-investment content for financial treats and maybe a share of ad revive. They're stalking horses for companies to exploit more talented but less experienced artists who are facing a daunting and overwhelming market where their work becomes harder and harder to show, let alone sell. A quick deal may feel like a win but it's selling the cow to save money on bottling the milk. Artists like this serve the publisher by making it seem like signing away your rights are just a necessary part of the game. However it's a game they are playing with exceedingly cheap stakes that weren't going to succeed on their own merit. So what if Mr. Business Perspective loses rights to his sexy Mario Bros. parody to a huge company? The point was always to unload it because it's a product, a bartering chip, a trinket. He's a Business Man, so he sees tactics that maximize profits to the business as maximizing their ability to buy whatever shiny tripe he cranks out. The business is his customer, not the reader. The business is his ally, not the creative community. Fuck him and fuck anyone who tells you the exposure is worth a damn if you don't retain rights to your work.

Nightmare Busters Rebirth reveal trailer, Kickstarter campaign coming soon - Gematsu

Publisher Pix’n Love and developer Aurora Game Studio will launch a Kickstarter campaign for the April 2021-announced Super Nintendo Entertainment System 2D run-and-gun game revival Nightmare Busters Rebirth “soon,” the companies announced. It will be available for PlayStation, Switch, PC via Steam, and more.

The game, now several years into development, promises to offer a “thrilling adventure that blends frantic action and modern 2D graphics while staying true to the spirit of classic arcade games.”

Get the latest details below.

One Game, Two Eras

Inspired by the great names of arcade gaming, Nightmare Busters Rebirth immerses players in a stunning universe where the supernatural meets unbridled action. Take control of Flynn and Floyd, two leprechaun brothers and nightmare hunters, as you journey through many environments and test your reflexes against relentless waves of enemies and devilish bosses! Combining intense gameplay, punchy action, and graphics that merge traditional hand-drawing techniques with modern tools, this 2D run-and-gun promises to thrill fans of the genre on Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation, Steam, and more!

An Upcoming Kickstarter Campaign

Born from deep reflection and an unconditional love for video games, Nightmare Busters Rebirth is the brainchild of the Pix’n Love / Aurora Game Studio duo. Initiated in 2023, this project has steadily grown over two years of development, gathering a team of dedicated enthusiasts. With graphics and animations blending hand-drawn art and contemporary techniques, Nightmare Busters Rebirth boasts a truly unique visual identity and now aims higher than ever. To deliver the best possible experience and make Nightmare Busters Rebirth a future reference in the 2D run-and-gun genre, Pix’n Love and Aurora Game Studio will soon launch a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Nightmare Busters Rebirth hopes to gather a passionate community to support its development. The funds raised will be used to add new features, optimize existing levels, and enhance the adventure with fresh gameplay elements. With your unwavering support, the development team is determined to provide an authentic and memorable experience for every backer. In that spirit, we are excited to reveal a special surprise on April 9, 2025!

A Classic Reimagined With Care

Originally developed in 1994 by Arcade Zone for the Super Nintendo, Nightmare Busters’ release was unfortunately canceled in 1995. Eager to pay tribute to this enchanting arcade game, Aurora Game Studio and Pix’n Love Games have joined forces to bring this extraordinary project back to life. Thanks to Nightmare Busters Rebirth, and with the support of some of the original creators, players will have the chance to experience this intense adventure through a complete overhaul. The game now features enhanced visual quality, polished animations, and a reorchestrated soundtrack—all while preserving the essence of what made the original so special.

2025: The Year of Nightmare Busters

The AI characters aren't a new feature. Meta has long invested in AI and has spent the past year stuffing all kinds of generative AI tech into its existing products. That included the release of its AI Studio in the summer, which quickly became a hotbed of virtual boyfriends and girlfriends.

The service already boasts hundreds of thousands of AI characters, according to Hayes. But if Meta is to be believed, this is just the start. Access to the AI Studio will be expanded to more countries outside the US, and a "priority" for the company over the next two years will be to make interactions with AI more social, per the FT.

Along with fictional characters, the AI Studio also allows Facebook and Instagram influencers to create AI versions of themselves that their followers can talk to. In recent months, other platforms have released content creator-oriented AI features, such as SnapChat's AI video generation tool.

FBA Academy Review

What is the FBA Academy?

The FBA Academy is David Zalenski’s Amazon private label training course and a part of EcomHub. The best feature of this FBA course is product validation. David’s team will look into your product idea and let you know if it’s the right path to take. This is incredibly valuable, especially for a beginner. You will also learn EcomHub’s trademarked Rank and Bank system, which teaches you how to launch a product and rank it to the front page of Amazon.

The training includes 7 hours of videos spread across 20 modules. Purchase of the course gets you lifetime access. Bonus materials include spreadsheets, templates, and David’s copyrighted strategy for creating paid traffic- the PPC Spyder Launch. You’ll also get 3 live coaching calls per week with the team/David, and access to a private Facebook group for the rest of your life.

Who is David Zaleski, Creator of FBA Academy?

David Zaleski is a 7-figure ecommerce seller who built a $5 million Amazon business in 5 years with only $4800 of Amazon start-up costs .

David started selling products online just before high school when he was 14. He flipped Alibaba products on eBay. 4 years later, at 18, he started his first Amazon business. Within 6 years, David grew that business to $9 million in sales.

Besides selling on Amazon, David had a podcast and YouTube channel. He has not updated either of these outlets lately. Currently, he is developing EcomHub into an Amazon “studio” where any level of Amazon seller can come for specific services. He also closely runs his Amazon automation agency, the FBA Academy Done-For-You program, closely with this private label course.

The FBA Academy Business Model: What is Amazon Private Label?

Amazon private label involves ordering a generic, brandless product and putting your own logo on it. You may add other variations to stand out from competitors, like upgrades, color options, or bundled products. Then, Amazon handles the shipping and handling and takes a cut off your profits. Therefore, it is one of the most expensive Amazon FBA business models to start. Besides FBA fees, you will also have to pay for brand and logo design, sourcing products, testing products, and running Amazon PPC campaigns to drive traffic.

But, private label also has higher profit margins- often up to 40%. Other business models, like Amazon dropshipping , have much smaller margins around 10-30%.

If you decide to follow an Amazon FBA private label business model, plan to spend $15K-$20K in startup costs alone, besides any course you decide to take.

What is the Difference Between Amazon FBA and Amazon Dropshipping?

With Amazon FBA private label, you sell your own products. But, Amazon dropshipping involves selling other brands’ products in your store. It’s also FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant). This means your supplier ships the product directly to the customer instead of an Amazon warehouse. You can also dropship off of Amazon, using other platforms like Shopify and/or eBay. Amazon dropshipping has the lowest of all Amazon business model profit margins- between 10-30%, while private label earns around 40%.

When Does the FBA Academy Start and Finish?

The FBA Academy is self-paced and starts at the time of your purchase. You have lifetime access to all its features, including weekly coach support calls, and can revisit course content.

What Modules are in the FBA Academy Program?

1: Welcome This first module is purely introductory. Learn about FBA, upcoming course content, and general tips to set the scene. You will also set up your Amazon Seller Central account.

2: Search For Your Product Module 2 talks about not only finding a product but also choosing a niche, branding your company, and marketing it to stand apart from competitors. David will also cover Amazon FBA fees, which may make you change your mind about this online business entirely.

3: Source David teaches you multiple strategies to implement when finding suppliers. He will also give valuable tips for communicating with suppliers from other countries, specifically China. Finally, learn about product codes and how to manage them efficiently for your store.

4: Launching Your Product This module covers product launch and specific strategies to optimize your product listing, like organic keyword research and customer coupons.

5: Rank and Bank (Trademarked Strategy) Here, you’ll hear an overview of how David promotes products while using Amazon as a search engine rather than an online store. If you can organically rank your products, you’ll save on Amazon advertising costs.

6: Listing Your Product Along the Rank and Bank system, there are many strategies to implement to bring your listing to the top of Amazon (and win the Amazon Buy Box). This module will help you with product pricing, professional product photography, and more.

7: Setting up Rank and Bank This module includes information on how to connect a product Facebook page (fanpage) with Manychat. David uses this strategy to bring in more customers and provide exemplary customer service.

8: More Information on Manychat This module explains how to connect with customers and how to continue the flow to a purchase.

9, 10, 11: Rank and Bank Info It’s great to see that David covers Rank and Bank in multiple modules, so that you can get the full picture. Since it’s trademarked, you won’t find this exact information anywhere else.

12: Facebook Ads Rather than generating a Facebook ad for your Amazon page, these ads will help you get customers to your Facebook page, and then onto your Manychat.

13 & 14: FAQ Here, you’ll get the answers to some frequently asked questions and receive bonus materials. FAQs include questions for international sellers.

15: Scaling Your Business After seeing success on your Amazon store, take your business further with this module. Topics include troubleshooting stock issues, reporting listing hijackers, sales tax, and trademarks.

16: FeedbackWhiz Learn how to use FeedbackWhiz and generate emails that convert.

17: More Bonus Materials & Information This section includes information on affiliate marketing ideas, finding Fiverr freelancers for reviews, using Craigslist to promote sales, and more.

18: PPC Spyder Unlock your Amazon PPC potential with David’s copyrighted Spyder campaign strategy.

19: Resource PDF This master list of resources will help you continue to build and scale.

20: Coaching Calls David’s coaching team downloads weekly coaching calls. They’re updated each week, and you can go back and watch them in this module.

Summary

Its’ essential to find valid reviews of a course away from its salespage. There are not many reviews of this FBA course online outside of David’s website. There are a number of professionally handled complaints listed on the BBB website, which look impressive at first. However, after reviewing the messages, they may not be real. Each complaint uses very similar wording, which makes me wonder where they came from.

Is FBA Academy a Scam?

No, David Zaleski’s FBA Academy is not a scam. You will learn his unique system for ranking your private label product, and have the peace of mind of product validation.

Some people believe that expensive courses (and coaches) are scams just because of their higher ticket price. They say that you can find the same information for free on YouTube. While you can find great information there, without a course, you will miss out on some amazing benefits. For instance, paid courses include extra services, ongoing coaching, active communities of like-minded people, and more. Plus, you will learn from the mistakes others have made, and be able to work through a structured course rather than sift through a disorganized heap of YouTube videos.

1. Understand Your Brand

• Start by knowing what your brand is about. What are your values, mission, and goals? Use these ideas to shape your message and design. Make sure your logo, colors, and tone are consistent across Instagram and Facebook.

2. Know Your Audience

• Find out who you want to reach. Are they young adults, parents, or professionals? Knowing your audience helps you create content they will love. Think about their interests, needs, and problems.

3. Post Great Content

Share eye-catching photos, videos, and graphics. Show behind-the-scenes moments, customer stories, or tips related to your business. For example:

Use Instagram Stories and Reels for fun, quick updates.

Post longer videos or articles on Facebook.

The goal is to make people enjoy your posts and remember your brand.

4. Be Consistent

• Create a schedule for posting. Consistency builds trust. For example, post 3 times a week on both platforms. Use tools like Facebook Creator Studio or Instagram Scheduler to plan ahead.

5. Use Hashtags and Keywords

• Add hashtags to your posts to make them easier to find. For example, if you’re a bakery, use hashtags like #FreshBread or #SweetTreats. Facebook works well with keywords and groups for better visibility.

I still don’t know if I count as an influencer based on the definition they put out.

I did get a “brand deal” once, but it was with a small indie movie (I’m pretty sure? It was Unidentified Objects) and I didn’t end up making any money from it anyways.

I make fan content, but I don’t get a drop of money from it, and have never had big companies reach out.

Also I have sold two pieces of my own fan art using tiktok to promote my art (but not using tiktok shop; i just sent it to them and they paid Venmo). And I’ve “made” 3 cents using tiktok live to show my art process, but I can’t even claim those 3 cents.

Do i count as an influencer?

"Influencer" is a specific role covered by SAG-AFTRA. It can be confusing to parse out who exactly counts as one, but they define it as...

"...popular content creators who have amassed a social media following that they capitalize on by making deals with advertisers to promote brands through the Influencer’s creative content which they distribute through their social media feeds.

Influencers exhibit their content through personal feeds on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, SnapChat, Pinterest, etc.

Followers can range from a few hundred to a hundred million

This provides a “one stop shop” for advertisers: The Influencer provides performance, stills, posts, production, creative, editing, directing, lighting, distribution, etc.

Agreements between Influencers and advertisers vary significantly. There are no set rates and other terms can be very different as well." (link to read more about the Influencer Agreement on the SAG-AFTRA website)

So if you're not someone who regularly makes deals with advertisers to promote brands, you probably don't count as an Influencer. (You can always contact SAG-AFTRA for specific guidance if you fall into the grey area there.)

The SAG-AFTRA guidelines (here) say, "Most influencers are non-union and are not subject to any strike rules. But some of them do work under the SAG-AFTRA Influencer Agreement, or may want to someday. And those influencers have been asked not to promote struck work (i.e. movies and TV shows), either for pay or “organically.” However, if an influencer already has a contract to promote something, the union advises them to fulfill the obligations of the contract. They are also free to influence on any other subject."

If you want to join SAG-AFTRA in the future as an influencer or actor, be careful about promoting struck work, and contact SAG-AFTRA with specific questions. But the influencer rules don't apply to fans/hobbyists.

As for what you should do as a non-union creator, it likely matters far more what you're doing with your platform now than if you have small brand deals in the past. For now, don't partner with studios, don't accept paid work from struck companies, and don't engage in studio-led campaigns that promote their films/shows.

We appreciate the question—it's a confusing time in the early days of a strike, but thankfully SAG-AFTRA is continually clarifying its guidelines!

6th Stop: The Online Body and The Authentic Self

Many of us have our go-to filters, which serve as digital mirrors reflecting our online lives. As someone who habitually embellishes my photos with filters, I contend that these tools, akin to traditional photo editing, vintage cameras, and carefully staged compositions, offer us the means to craft a visually pleasing narrative of our reality, which also holds authenticity in them.

Defamiliarizing Life Online: La Vie En Rose

The use of photo filters not only enhances the visual appeal of our images but also, as Sontag refers to the portrayal of war imagery, can desensitize us to the mundane aspects of our daily lives (1973, 20). Yet, concurrently, filters present us with images that deviate from the familiar scenes we're accustomed to witnessing.

One reason why filters captivate us is their ability to give images a sense of strangeness, defamiliarizing our everyday existence. Filters steal a little bit of our images; they corporate our vision with what the lens of a machine portrays.

Let me see my life through someone else’s eyes—or, in this case, the unfocused and impartial eye of a machine - Bianca Bosker (2014)

Although Instagram-style filters may initially render our selfies and everyday snapshots unrecognizable, their widespread usage eventually diminishes the effect of defamiliarization, transforming it into a commonplace occurrence. Nevertheless, our everyday photos serve as a means of heightening our personal experiences and giving them special meanings.

In essence, these filtered photos afford ordinary individuals the opportunity to engage in artistic expression—a realm once reserved for professionals due to the intricacies of photography and editing tools such as DSLR cameras and Photoshop. And each photo serves as a narrative that we consciously choose to share.

Platformatization: Finding Authenticity in Filters

Behavior of any kind, even that wholly in accord with societal mores, is authentic if it results from personal understanding and approval of its drives and origins rather than merely from conformity with the received wisdom of society. - Erich Fromm (2011)

Behavior, whether conforming to societal norms or not, is considered authentic by Erich Fromm (2011) if it stems from an individual's personal understanding and endorsement of its underlying motivations and origins, rather than mere conformity to prevailing societal expectations. Fromm views authenticity as a positive result of informed and enlightened motivation, rather than a negative consequence of rejecting societal pressures.

For instance, when selecting a filter for a photo, individuals make subjective choices that reflect their authenticity (Kumar & Madhushree Nanda Agarwal 2023). Consider a woman of color opting for a filter adhering to Western beauty standards. Her choice may signify a desire for societal acceptance, despite the inherent social injustices minorities face. In this context, her selection of a filter becomes a statement about her own experiences and struggles.

Platformization has transformed filters into customizable tools, allowing greater freedom to shape representations that reflect the diversity of our world. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook empower users, predominantly individuals, to design their own filters tailored to their unique needs and authenticity. Today, filter development is just as, if not more, likely to be conducted by a camgirl as it is by hundreds of full-time employees in a campus-sized studio. Skill-based barriers to entry have been eroded by the proliferation of low-cost and easy-to-use software development platforms known as AR toolkits .

These toolkits prioritize the creator's vision over technical expertise, resulting in a diverse range of filters that challenge conventional beauty standards. These filters may explore themes of disempowerment rather than conquest or feature mechanics that promote introspection over agency, thereby expanding the narrative possibilities and contributing to a more inclusive representation of reality.

Indeed, the filtered world we create online may diverge from its natural state, but it remains authentic in its own right. Through the lens of a digital camera, we craft a human-made vision of reality that reflects our perceptions, experiences, and desires. While this digital representation may not mirror the raw world, it nonetheless captures aspects of our inner selves and external surroundings, rendering it authentic in its portrayal of our lived experiences. Our online reality, shaped by filters and digital tools, serves as a unique and valid expression of our individual perspectives and narratives.

That's precisely why you should jump on this bandwagon today. Videos work like magic across various niches and formats, be they vlogging, coaching, entertainment, or more. They have the power to seize over 82% of consumer internet traffic, a statistic that any small business owner would be willing to invest in. In fact, a staggering 90% of businesses that utilized video for marketing experienced a notable boost in sales.

The online video realm is experiencing explosive growth, leaving small business owners with no choice but to embrace it or risk falling behind. Unfortunately, crafting videos from scratch demands considerable skill, talent, and time—qualities that not everyone possesses. Many individuals find themselves grappling with complex online video tools or resorting to outrageously expensive freelancers and agencies. The search for high-quality videos at an affordable price can be a daunting task.

As the demand for videos continues to surge, people from various industries will require them for a multitude of purposes: sales pages, training materials, tutorials, demos, vlogs, memes, social media (Instagram stories and reels, Snapchat, Facebook Stories, YouTube), podcasts, eBooks, and so much more. Thankfully, there's now an all-encompassing solution tailored just for you: AI Studio.

It's indicative of economic problems sector-wide.

I'm sure this comes as a surprise to nobody, but everything's got really expensive recently. On top of that, nobody's giving out raises.

This is (partially) due to rising interest rates making the cost of servicing debt to be higher. YouTube is profitable, but there's a lot of money going into AI at Alphabet, which may never pay dividends. Additionally, Microsoft seems to be catching up with its search engine, and encroaching on Google's "software as a service" with Office 365.

All this shit puts pressure on Google's margins.

I've noticed an interesting trend on YouTube specifically, which is that a lot of creators are diversifying away from the platform. LegalEagle opened a law firm, Day[9] started a game studio, Rainbow Plant Life is moving into the meal prep space. Hell, FreakAndGeek is retiring from it altogether at the end of the year.

All this shit, including cracking down on ad blockers and non-Chrome browsing, points to Google trying to squeeze the people they've got rather than trying to expand service and reach. Turns out, when you've got a model that's predicated on growing reach of platform, eventually you run out of people to reach. Y'know, the Facebook problem. Speaking of Facebook problems, demographic shifts in userbase are absolutely a thing too. Just ask Tiktok.

Someone at Google has likely done the maths (I could be wrong, big corporations get high on their own supply constantly) and worked out that the number of people they frustrate off the platform with a worse user experience is an acceptable cost of doing business in order to ensure that eyes get on unstoppable ads and usage data keeps flowing through to data brokers. That's where the real money is, and lord knows YouTube Red doesn't offer nearly enough upside in order to justify the price tag. Especially when paying a subscription doesn't exempt me from having rage-machine shit pushed through my feed. But hey, when you're measuring engagement as a metric for selling ads, maybe pushing a TPUSA video in front of a trans person in the hope that they'll get angry and push a button pays dividends.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that all this shit smacks of a desperation play. Someone is getting worried about their Times Interest Coverage and looking to wring money out of people who can't or won't pay in the context of an economic downturn. All these restrictions are the actions of a group who are really fucking worried because they've been playing musical chairs and someone just asked what happens if the music stops.

I haven't personally verified this as I'm not at a computer, but multiple people in multiple places are saying the same thing. This is fucking insane. First the endless war on UBlock, then the Chromium changes to shut out some blocker functionalities entirely next year, now this?

Something is deeply rotten in recent Google/YouTube policy. I can't imagine that this is legal - how is this not anticompetitive? Google needs to get mega fucked in the press and the courts sooner rather than later.

And I need to switch to Firefox as soon as I get home.

The Power of Professional Video Editing: Elevate Your Brand with a Leading Video Editing Content Creator in the USA

In today’s digital-first world, video content is king. Whether you're a startup founder, a coach, a course creator, or a brand trying to break through the noise, high-quality video editing can be the catalyst that sets you apart. In a market flooded with content, the difference between getting noticed and being ignored is often just one thing: professional video editing.

That's where Influx Media Studio comes in—a leading video editing content creator in the USA, transforming raw footage into scroll-stopping visual stories that drive results.

Why Video Editing Matters More Than Ever

In 2025, attention spans are shorter than ever. You’ve got under 3 seconds to make an impression. That means shaky transitions, low-res cuts, or poor audio can send viewers scrolling past your content without a second thought.

Here’s what professional video editing offers:

Storytelling Precision – Editing isn’t just about cutting clips; it’s about crafting a compelling narrative.

Brand Consistency – From color grading to transitions, your brand identity shines through.

Optimized Formats – Your video needs to look good on Reels, TikTok, YouTube, and even email embeds.

Retention & Conversion Boost – Quality editing keeps your audience engaged longer, increasing click-throughs and conversions.

Why Hire a Video Editing Content Creator in the USA?

When you're targeting an American audience, you need someone who understands the market, trends, and culture. A video editing content creator in the USA offers:

Native insight into U.S. audience preferences

Awareness of trending formats and viral video styles

Real-time collaboration and faster turnaround times

Compliance with local copyright and fair-use guidelines

At Influx Media Studio, we know what the U.S. market demands. We stay on top of algorithm changes, trend waves, and platform requirements—so you don’t have to.
