  • Ok my answer is going to be a little disappointing, but I thought about it for a bit and here’s what I can say…

    Usually I read a book or I watch a film, I don’t think I’ve ever done both for the same story. Sometimes there is no equivalent book or film, and when there is, I personally just end up choosing whatever format my gut says to try.

    If I’ve imagined a universe and story in my mind (from a book), or had the experience delivered to me (in a film), I don’t want them to conflict so I just choose one. Probably because I see so many debates about this online and I’m just like, “nah I’m not getting involved”.

    I’m actually probably the worst qualified person to give an opinion on that!! But I recognize I’m probably a weirdo, as I don’t even watch film trailers or read the synopsis of books before I read/watch them. I just kinda hear about it however that happens, and decide to either skip or jump in. The exception to this being non-fiction or educational stuff, then it matters a bit more.

    I guess, I just wanna enjoy (or dislike) a story and leave it at that.

    Sorry for the total non-answer. But now you’ve got me curious, what’s your answer? Maybe I’ll make an exception for Grandwolf319 haha







  • The US government would likely consider such a measure as facilitating censorship," the submission said.

    This is such an asinine stretch and holy moly I think this is one of the biggest admissions of big tech’s true intentions to date, not that we didn’t already know this.

    The United States is so blatantly corrupt. Controlled by big tech. An algorithm off switch kills social media’s black box of manipulation and they know it.

    I pray that Australia holds strong and enacts this. I cannot wait to see the data on mental health effects in those with algorithmic and non-algorithmic feeds.

    I cannot wait for this. Genuinely going to add it in my calendar haha
