not to be pretentious, but a lot of stuff you guys complain is being ruined by capitalism/the algorithm/whatever can be solved by consuming something else than the most basic mainstream stuff that's thrown in your lap. "songs nowadays are getting shorter to fit entire tiktoks and it's ruining music" have you tried listening to something else than Spotify's Top 100 my dude? "fanfiction-to-publishing pipeline is churning out mediocre books and it's ruining literature" have you tried reading something outside the NYT bestseller list my dude? This is not a post about how algorithm based industries give visibility to the lowest common denominator art at the expense of actually creative and meaningful art that struggles to make itself known, which is a valid discussion for another time, this is about people actively not giving this kind of art their visibility because they won't get out of their way to discover stuff outside the mainstream radar and prefer to be passively fed what to consume while bitching that is not up to their tastes.

everything about the Palestinian genocide is disgusting and inhumane and incredibly depressing but there's something extra infuriating to me about the fact that the reason Israel is taking all this land is so they can bulldoze the rubble and build subdivisions. Like not only are they going out of their way to wipe out an entire people and culture in one of the most horrific state actions of the 21st century, but they're doing it in the name of selling fucking tract homes like that's so so incredibly bleak
