no great mystery here
Taylor Lorenz

I have over 200k "followers" yet my paid subscriptions have fallen off a cliff.
I'm beginning to wonder what's going on with the platform economics of Substack. In the past 6 months my paid subscriptions have plummeted, despite me making no changes to my content, yet my "followers" are skyrocketing.
Is anyone else experiencing this? It makes me skeptical of Substack as a platform, because it feels more and more like this app is becoming another social media feed. I wish I could turn off the ability of anyone to "follow" me. Because what good are followers when follower growth seems correlated with losing paid subs??

ai people assumed their job was to do some sci-fi thought experiments about technological capabilities and not, you know, build a popular consumer product

it's kinda funny the way this article describes how a model being unsafe -- ignoring guardrails, pretending to have done things it didn't, not following user instructions -- also makes a model a shitty consumer product

rewinding on hbo max is a subtly worse experience than on other streaming apps.

framing this as being *caused by ai* is just not accurate. streaming not being as profitable as hoped while theatrical and cable revenues decline is basically the whole story.

i'm not saying it executes this cleanly, but the overarching theme is pretty clearly and obviously "your ancestry does not define you". it's not lacking for something to say.

“this government wants trans people and their families to feel safe and accepted in our society.” I think I can speak for most trans people and their families when I say, they don’t and increasingly they aren’t, precisely because of Labour’s decisions. How can they believe this stuff they type?

journalism must be ended. as it exists in the UK, it is incompatible with and opposed to human rights and dignity.

what is even being reported here. surely the default assumption is that a shakespeare adaptation will use shakespeare's own dialogue
 As befitting a filmmaker who is known for his meticulous attention to detail in capturing a time period, even when it comes to dialogue, sources say that this adaptation will feature actors speaking in Olde English.

A tragic romance, Shakespeare’s play told the ill-fated story of the titular young lovers who hail from two warring families, the Capulets and the Montagues, in the city of Verona, Italy.

the streamers made it so expensive to make what counts for "prestige tv" that they can't to do it anymore. just make cheaper shows that aren't "cinematic".

hollywood is incredibly effective at promoting american propaganda around the world. this often gets missed by people who live in america, and don't see why it isn't pushing whatever propaganda they want within america's own borders.

It’s crazy to me that Hollywood is a nearly completely organic machine for American propaganda and it’s currently being destroyed by the dumbest people alive who think they need it so they can REALLY do propaganda. A crown jewel of American global cultural dominance discarded with barely a whimper

The BBC is pro far right and anti left, because this is the British establishment definition of impartial. These people believe that some powerful group of left wingers actually run everything, and that pushing the far right is a necessary counterbalance.

doctor who fans online keep being like "oh it doesn't need a showrunner model, the classic series didn't have one, it's too demanding a job". ok but are you familiar with literally any 21st century tv show other than doctor who? they all have showrunners.
