Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

What once was the peak, is now just the beginning.
Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first ho Show

If this is legal, it needs to be made illegal. There is clearly something broken when clear monopolies are allowed to flourish. The fact that this is inherently a right-wing operation is beside the point, NO company should have this much power over media. This is going to be a bloodbath for workers

Enjoyment of slowness, gradualness, complexity seems psychologically protective...this is not a moral judgment btw, everyone loves a chocolate chip cookie now and then, but we can say pretty certainly that if you can find no pleasure in any other food it makes life unbearable.

If you can only find pleasure in immediate rewards, or in extreme levels of stimulation, you have recreated the mechanism of addiction whether the substance is physically addictive or not.

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

...and doctors use it to determine dosage for patients on blood thinners. The wrong dosage, if it's too low, can results in blood clots and strokes. Too much blood thinner and you can bleed out.

From John Carreyrou (author of Bad Blood, THE book on Theranos/Holmes)'s Reddit AMA. If they hadn't pulled the plug on the tests as soon as they did, there would have been deaths. And they are just extremely lucky it didn't happen on day one.

Joyce Carol Oates • @JoyceCarolOates
really, this is a serious question: why on earth would Chris Christie imagine that anyone, anywhere, ever would want him to run for President? what sparks such a delusion? granted, his wife might enjoy having him out of the house & on the campaign trail; but better just get an inexpensive hobby instead.

Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."

Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

Maybe the closest thing to this is an old-school forum where you have no idea what other people like the most, so you have to form your own opinions about the content. I can imagine a sort of anti-algorithm where it peppers your feed with extremely low-view posts or even completely random posts.

petite violette @petiteviolette.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I would argue the very idea of a system of likes is a bad idea. Even the tiny reward it triggers is probably dangerous, and leads to people saying outlandish things to get the high. A communication system that is aggressively equalizing is best, but is not ideal for making money.
