I feel like there's a "rot" in the voiceover industry right now. It's something that's probably always been there, but I think it's been progressively getting worse. There's this strange attitude that can basically be summed up as, "F*ck y'all. I got mine." And I'd like to talk about it. 🧵

From the attack on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, to the grocery aisle today, there is a straight line. We have an affordability crisis *because* we have a corruption crisis. You can't fix one without fixing the other. A THREAD.

What does it say that university leadership is protecting an institutional brand over a student's safety? It means students shouldn't go to that school because their safety is not a priority.

The more I learn about this Cornell situation, the angrier I get because it's SO normalized in academic environments.

the brand safety panopticon has come to twitch
Streamers, wary of both AI and YouTube’s infuriatingly un-transparent hall of mirrors, are not enthused about this new development.

“Ohhh so that’s why ad revenue dropped,” longtime streamer JP "itmeJP" McDaniel said on Twitter.  

“I’m genuinely worried that the sheer fact that I’m a lesbian will cause the AI to remove ads,” said Vtuber LuminusRed. “In the past I’ve tested it and confirmed that I get less ad money if I had queer-related tags on my stream like ‘lesbian,’ so I am worried this dumb AI monitoring will mean I no longer get money from ads on Twitch.”
