Browsing YouTube while logged out is 1,000 times worse.
the absolute blessing of never seeing Mr. Beast’s face whenever I am signed in.
And the sheer amount of weird pseudo-reality-show-shovelware! Good grief, people! If you want made up content that’s supposed to look like the real thing, watch porn!
I just assumed the Netflix top 10 were movies/shows they were trying to push, not based on actual veiwership.
I don’t get why the streaming services would care what media people watch. Are they pushing stuff that is cheaper to license?
They want to get recommendations just good enough to keep you hooked. If they show you just the objectively best, you would instantly know after seeing the best ones, that the rest of the catalogue is worse and worse.
This is how Netflix was in the beginning. I actually unsubscribed for a while for yhis reason. Now I’m as hooked as ever, there might still be a few good ones out there - I just need to keep scrolling for a few hours. /s
Remember when Netflix had a million dollar competition to improve their recommendation system by something like 10%? Remember when they had user ratings and reviews? Remember when they threw it all in the fucking trash?
The original recommendation engine was amazing. Showed me stuff I loved that I would have never found myself. My favorite example is the French claymation acid trip called “A Town Named Panic”
Now all I get recommended are shows that are cancelled and that I’ve already watched.
Nothing makes me feel more disconnected from humanity than the YouTube trending tab
I feel that way when I see YouTube shorts. Some of them are big titted girls doing shit which I can understand why those get clicked on but a lot of it I can’t even figure out what is supposed to be happening.
You can find good stuff aound 5+ sometimes.
The Outfit is good. Atlas is shit.
I liked Atlas…
Behold, I am both of you: I liked it and I thought it was kinda shit 😎
Right? Like it has its moments of good and bad. I mean it’s not an Oscar winner, but it wasn’t so bad that I lost interest.
Tbh I thought JLo did a pretty good job.
Damn JLo was my main reason not to watch, historically she’s just not that great. But if she pulled it off or made it kinda self-aware I’ll check it out.
65 is also really good.
Well it’s still JLo. If you aren’t much a fan you won’t be too impressed. Imo she can be fairly one directional in her movies.
That said, when I watch a movie that has heavy CGI I try and take a step back throughout the movie from all the special effects and evaluate an actors performance.
Ya ok sounds pretentious, but I try to imagine the environment they are in when acting. It’s basically nothing but a green box, with someone off to the side reading lines.
If they can give a fairly believable performance I’m impressed, because we see all the special effects, editing, direction and production. The actor has to imagine it, and hope they don’t look like a dumbass in post.
65 was alright. Wanted more dinosaurs though lol
It keeps trying to get me to watch the new Zack Snyder Star Wars rip-off.
I watched the first one. I’d take a prostate exam by Edward Scissorhands before I waste another two hours of my life on the sequel.
Rebel Moon. Oh yeah, they’re so bad. And apparently a third one is on the way, and the extended cuts for all of them.
