I am the squid. It's a Mad Max Max Mad world. I'm Waldos! 34, They/Them, art is tagged #waldos art and fic is rarely ever written anymore so why mention it? I dunno! Already did! Good Omens, The Magnus Archives, Pacific Rim, etc etc etc. Is it funny? I'll probably reblog it. I forget to tag a lot because I'm UHHHHHHHHH dumb.

I noticed in some of your fics that there is a link to a server. Those links are down. Did that server get taken out of commission?

Is it on good Omens fics? It's been really quiet there and I deactivated the links for a bit. Or OFMD? Not sure if I shared links to that one. I think those are the only two I would have out there...

this is absolutely fucking pathetic now every single fucking streaming service is gonna start doing this shit. all y'all had to do was not watch Netflix and let it flop for a few months and they would have given up

Y'all still actually watch netflix?

i know it's easier to see a headline and get angry about it online than it is to look into the source, but if we all did a little digging, it's evident that this is misinformation. the source is a blog post from a tech startup that is advertising their data analysis services to other streaming companies. the spike in subscribers (which lasted for two days) occurred over a four day period, of which, only the 26th and 27th of may had above average signups, the previous two days were under 50k signups per day.

what their data (purposely) fails to show is the sharp decline in signups between the 27th of may and the first of june, the day that these features rolled out, because their chart cuts off before the password sharing crackdown even went into effect. their data also does not count the number of cancelled subscriptions, and does not distinguish between free trial sign ups and paid subscription sign ups.

they are trying to make netflix look good to advertise their services. this is marketing, not actual data analysis.

oh thank god

Good post everyone hit the showers

It sucks that people are treating the Reddit blackout as a joke or assuming it's impotent rage over a minor decision bc it's Reddit when like. No, a tech company shutting down access to their API by forcing third-party devs to pay completely unreasonable fees ($12,000 per 50 million API requests, which to the largest third party clients would be tens of millions of dollars) and in the process destroying both accessibility apps and moderation tools is Bad Actually

Really something seeing the cynical reaction this has gotten on Twitter

"It won't accomplish anything, do they not realize the admins can just ban them and get new mods, lol Reddit" Your response to your site's billionaire owner introducing the exact same policies was to make sarcastic tweets and link your Mastodon Spoutible Bluesky, what right do you have to dunk on another userbase actually Doing Things.

Especially wild for a demographic that's supposedly so pro-labor to go "what's the point of a strike, they can just get rid of everyone and find someone new" That's. I know you've retweeted enough Scabby the Rat memes to understand what's wrong with this

Worst part about this is I've only ever used that yellow square emoji once and it was just to see how it looked. This isn't who I am. However, in retrospect, I suppose it is

Reading through the notes is a surreal experience please keep adding more to fuel my effervescent consumption of non descriptive emojis
