Games writers maybe. There haven't been 1200 games journalists operating at the same time ever. There were a lot of people at a lot of sites simply regurgitating news, but that is definitely not what a journalist is. They are extremely different disciplines.
Not doing either, actually. After the post was found it linked things up and, as I explained elsewhere, this still stems from one downvote on the thread you see above. "Create More Slop" is a message I disagree with. Slop is just garbage generated content, not even intentionally made stuff. Just... low-tier trash. Not really into destroying the planet for less-than-shitposting purposes.
My insane conspiracy theorist mother in law would love this.
Sadly.
Nah, they were never independent. They were owned by CBS prior to that, and before that they were owned by Red Ventures, and originally Whiskey Media.
Oh man... you're speaking directly to why I made Actual Discussion (consider this a personal invite).
We frequently get one-time posters coming in and flaming (or downvoting without reading) on any thread that may not agree with them, then when challenged with sources, they vanish. It's brutal. I wish we could disable certain behaviours on our instance or in the Community itself.
As someone who started and is extremely active in a small community, I find Lemmy actively hostile to the point where I'm considering closing up after less than a month.
The number of indignant replies and comment-free downvotes we get inundated with continually is... disheartening.
People want content, but actively detract from any content that doesn't cater to them. It's hard to take.
Huh. Reading the article now that I have time, they cite massive immigration as an issue, not to mention training people from other countries who then go home.
I know people in hospitals that retired when COVID hit, but not GPs. Not to say it isn't the case, but I'd like to see a large study showing WTF is going on.
I like this! Would I be able to bother you to post this to https://lemmy.ca/c/actual_discussion
I feel it would be a really worthwhile topic to dig into and you've articulated it well!
Ah! A few ways to do things:
- Go into the YouTube "three dots" options and you can "Create Clip" which will allow you to shave out or repeat any length of video you want. If you shave it out, you can make it private and just repeat the single video. and / or
- Use any YouTube download site (say like this one) and just get the MP3 or video which you can play over and over using any media player. and / or
- If you're on a phone, use a third-party YouTube app like GrayJay and it'll block ads.
If you have questions, ask away!
I could see how that would be handy if I listened to them on more than one device.
If we do, it will be because people shrug their shoulders and go home instead of actually doing something about it because that's the easy option. We don't have to sit and quietly await death. I have kids and want better for them. I'm okay to change my lifestyle.
Let's fuck up some corporations.

So then yes to everything I said before then. Yes it was all a coincidence. Yes it was sold at exactly the right time after purchasing it exactly the right point in a VERY tight period of time. Totally out of the blue. Several hundred times given her stock portfolio.
Listen, if you're not even going to pretend to be believable, then I don't think we need to continue this.
