what the fuck does this even mean?
Means neige is fantasizing about Elon at daytime. He is asking if the other commentator is doing the same. 🤭

Then why are you posting and replying, liar?

Dammit, Netflix. I can’t cancel my subscription twice.
Maybe Netflix has decided that having their ads shown next to neo-Nazi propaganda is a good look for them.
I think if I hadn’t dropped Netflix when they did a 180 on their stance on password sharing, I would drop them now.
Good thing my torrent site of choice doesn’t advertise on Xtwitter.
With moisture in the air and the gentle sea breeze upon our faces; life is good.
Yup. Upgraded my Plex drives, 15tb of music and movies.
Those are rookie numbers :)
Congrats on the upgrade. I upgraded from 6x3T to 6x6T a couple years ago. Wish I had waited a little longer but feared drives going bad.
What about redundancy?
What’s the point? If a drive starts failing just redownload it again. I really don’t see the point on keeping everything constantly off-line when I can just torrent them again.
Sometimes you’re the only seeder for some torrents.
Much less of a problem with newsgroups.
That’s fine. I’m likely not going to watch it again. If I really care, I’ll either rent it from the library or post a request on a torrent site.
I have all my drives in a ZFS array. Should allow failure of a couple before I lose anything.
This is what happens every time youtube has an apocalypse. They stay away long enough to feel like they’ve made their point and then they resume advertising like nothing happened. Maybe it’s not advertisers who hold the power and everyone should stop being so scared of them.
That was like what, a whole month or less? Whew, that must’ve been tough on them!
Can someone explain to me how this news is technology related? Can you stop posting unrelated stuff to this community?
They are both tech companies.
It’s a repost/crosspost bot and the admins/mods don’t care to fix, disable, or ban it.
I haven’t blocked it yet but I’m thinking I should.
the bot is a mod itself, so yeah.
it’s been posting low quality content for months now
Netflix and X are both Tech companies, so this is tech related content. Which follows Rule 2 of the community. Posting about ‘Drake’s new music video’ for example will be “unrelated stuff to this community”.
Literally the instruments Drake sings into and uses to record his music are technology. Everything except eating fruit off a tree is technology. If we’re going to be this flexible about what counts as fodder for the community then let’s just go ahead and allow all of it.
a music video is technology so I’m pretty sure that would be ok
The bot is grabbing it from somewhere. Idk where maybe reddit.
How is your comment tech news? Why don’t you just downvote and move on
So Netflix is already shit, guess the shit companies can be shitty together.
Time to find Netflix ads next to neo Nazi posts…sure glad I got rid of Netflix.
Of course they will! This is the sad, sad reality of todays internet - the power is so centralized in the hands of like 4 companies, that every business basically can’t ignore them. Like you can but by that you’re just hurting yourself from the business point of view. Elon Musk can literally say Fuck You to advertisers and they still need to advertise there. This is just crazy. On nation level the anti-monopoly bureau would take action but we don’t have world wide anti-monopoly bureau.
That’s why when people tell me “Oh, Elon Musk just bankrupted Twitter” I say “Did he?”. At this point I believe he can do anything he wants, he can murder like dozen people, blow up the headquartes or start selling drugs to children and Twitter would still be fine
Wew, good thing I pirate what I want to see from Netflix!

Glad I canceled Netflix last year.
Not everybody lives their lives based on political cancel culture.
True enough that not everybody does (also it’s “consequence culture”, but I digress), but the energy of your post is COMPLETELY this…
“OH YEAH? Well we don’t ALL wipe ourselves after were shit okay?? It’s natural and it’s a choice… get over it, bro!!!”
Is cancelling subscriptions part of cancel culture now?
I mean…I guess…technically…
Edit: wow I interpreted that comment very wrong.
No shortage of people cancel services because of a single thing one person or says, or because they place an ad on a platform that’s popular to bash because of a political view with no direct reason otherwise, so yes, it’s pretty common.
It’s almost like people in the United States have the freedom to express their opinions on a matter. Imagine that!
Not everybody lives their lives based on political cancel culture.
Just the people who tried to cancel Rock and Roll, Heavy Metal, D&D, The Dixie Chicks, teaching black history, books, trans people, gay people, abortions…
Conservatives: “If you don’t like a business vote with your wallet, we don’t need regulations.”
People: boycotts business
Conservatives: “No, not like that.”
Prrreeettty sure that was the left when people from all sides boycott BL because of Dylan and Targets shenanigans. So here is this version
Left: “If you don’t like a business vote with your wallet, we don’t need regulations.”
People of all sorts, mostly right: boycotts business
Left: “No, not like that.”
You’re supposed to not like a business based on how much they support gay rights!!!
You can find a dozen other reasons to terminate your Netflix subscription, for sure.
True, some of us cancel just because the price keeps getting jacked up.
I cancelled (again) because… let me think. Apparently they nuke your account if you don’t use it for, say, 6-9 months (nice). All ratings, history, watchlist, etc: Fuck you, gone. Could not disable ads, AKA autoplay previews. Quality of content massively decreasing. Cost increasing (and never any deals). Mediocrity hit them hard years ago.
TbF, If that nuke is true, I wish more subscription services did that as it’s better than me realizing 18 months later that I’m not using it anymore but have still been autopaying the bill. Presuming of course there is an email or phone call warning in case you want to keep it active.
They nuke if you cancel for a few months. There are so many services, I only want maybe 1-2 at a time, and honestly need zero, could just use Plex. (If you forget you’re sub’d, they will never nuke or let you know.)
And there’s nothing wrong with that, that’s not cancel culture, that’s not giving a scumbag company money, that’s how it’s supposed to work.
Yeah, people should instead be shooting their Netflix subscription with AR-15s (it’s symbolic, ok?) and posting it on YouTube.
Everyone knows that’s how you really show your disapproval for a company.
People should only not spend their money on something for the right reasons.
What camp where you on when Bud Light changed their brand colors this year? I am asking this as a serious question.
I’m still on Twitter (X) and I don’t have a problem with seeing Netflix-ads in my feed. I somewhat have a problem with a product like Twitter being bought by one person. If that could have been prevented in the first place, a tweet from one person would not jeopardize the monetization or engagement of that platform.
I’m still on Twitter (X)
you shouldn’t be.
