Why create bad movies? It's a waste of money in the first place.

Well, I'm certainly glad there a nasal spray that deals with the toxic mice tangles in my nose.

And have it end up like Starbound? No way.

Every single office chair I buy for myself and my family is followed by an immediate purchase of rollerblade wheels for that chair. Standard office wheels suck, and replacing them is really easy. They glide so well.

Microsoft spent millions of dollars and clout to lock their OEM out of offering Linux on the desktop. There's a good reason why you don't see Linux PCs on the shelves of Walmart.

It's a protocol, made with open RFC docs.

LAION is a database of URLs, gathered from publicly-available data on the Web. Who is "taking" anything?

It's not if you follow the money.

Nebula is a gated community, and they don't let enough people in. It is far from the definition of "You" Tube.

This is classic gish gallop. Downvote and move on.

There is also an incredibly huge saturation of authors, musicians, actors, artists, and other creatives that all expect to make it a career. It's far from realistic, and the stripping down of public domain through many decades of shady copyright extension laws have just been propping up this house of cards, at the expense of the public that deserves it.

For the past 20 years or so, especially with the Internet accelerating the process, people are starting to realize that these are not good career choices, and these industries will turn into mostly free hobbies, based on their passion to create.

Even now, I can throw a stick at some random artist on Bandcamp, and find great music for free who has barely any subscribers. Why spend $15 for a CD? Why spend money on royalties for using music on a video, when so many artists give it out copyright free?
