>>145284facts, industry evolves and advertising along with it. you cant go on yt or tiktok or instagram or god forbid twitter because theres TnA everywhere. these websites have no (effective) moderation so kids get blasted with sexual imagery every time they want to watch degadio chicken nugget. whenever one of these websites, particularly youtube, actually gets off their ass and tries to moderate, they're either so incompetent or so shamelessly dedicated to their bottom line that it ends up targeting everyone except the people putting cleavage on the front page.
No.145288
>>145285We should just ban kids from the internet
No.145289
>>145288how would u enforce dat?
u cant!
basically the solution is to ban addiction algorithms and regulate the use of sexual imagery in marketing and entertainment.
as for marketing, sexual imagery should not be allowed to be used in any product not explicitly for adults (this means, sex toys, alcohol, tobacco/other drugs - CBD, mushroom-type-stuff, etc - basically anything that is age-restricted by law.)
entertainment is more complicated. it was easy to regulate when everyone was watching TV, but it's much harder to regulate a youtuber for example bc both they and youtube the company would probably fight such regulation on a first amendment basis, not to mention Google pays off the Democrats (
https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/alphabet-inc/summary?id=d000067823) and the Republicans aren't gonna do shit about this issue because they're the Republicans lol so none of this will ever come to pass and we're fucked
TLDR: banning kids from the internet is a bandaid over a gunshot wound, the real solution is to ban addictive algorithms and sexual marketing but this will never realistically happen
No.145294
>>145289This will never happen since the goal of corporate sites is to make money and not to be good. Even if you ban "addictive algorythms", which the goverment has no reason to do since a lazy population addicted to instant gratification is good for them the corpos will just come up with something else.

Ik thats why I also said if they banned addictive algorythms, however you'd even define what an addictive algorythm is they'd just come up with something else. The problem with the internet isn't unique just to the internet but to soyciety as a whole. Movies, music, art and all other enterntainment are all just immitaions of immitations, copies of copies with no real meaning or authenticity, the only purpouse is to generate income.

I think precocious kids get a lot from the internet whereas the 80% normcattle children get annihilated by it
In the case of corpos there needs to be completely different legal categories for large sector and small sector because regulations meant for the large sector impose a disproportionate burden onto small sector business
No.145311
>>145307>however you'd even define what an addictive algorythm isthat's the politicians' job, not mine. i just know it when i see it.
if you put a gun to my head, i'd define it as any system within a social media site which serves or suggests to the end user a continuous stream of content, with the primary factor in the content served being engameeperent (where "engameeperent" is defined as the past literal engameeperent from other users with the content - ie, views, comments, shares - and the likelihood of the end user in question interacting with it based on data gathered by the platform or a parent company in conjunction with the platform, or a combination of both, or similar factors)
i dont know how well this definition would hold up in court but again, im no lawyer or lawmaker
>The problem with the internet isn't unique just to the internet but to soyciety as a whole. Movies, music, art and all other enterntainment are all just immitaions of immitations, copies of copies with no real meaning or authenticity, the only purpouse is to generate income.i dont think that's true. movies, music, etc. used to have more soul back in the 2000s/2010s, and it was largely bc ppl still lived in the real world more than they were on the internet. the interwebz were still in their infancy so it was just kind of a fun hobby then, as opposed to now where the internet has become all-consuming and suffocating. movies and shows have demonstrably gotten worse and are being deliberately made at lower quality as a response to the addiction and decreased attention spans the internet caused (
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/jan/17/not-second-screen-enough-is-netflix-deliberately-dumbing-down-tv-so-people-can-watch-while-scrolling) so the issue is kind of unique to the internet, it's just bled into music, fashion, politics, etc etc, other real world shit.

>>145340this would need to be enforced across every single website that either sells a product or has 3rd party advertisements in any way (banner ads, preroll ads, etc).
wildly consumer unfriendly, rightoids would push hard against it because its just like 1984 and the jews are trying to steal muh credit card info or something.
i could see the government making every porn site use this, and that might be cool, but depending on their security standards it could also be a MASSIVE privacy risk. also foreign porn sites could just like not implement this and there's nothing america could do.

>>145322>but it feels like there's a measurable drop in quality. games used to have cheat codes and easter eggs and stuff and now it feels like there isnt any more of that.That's the copies of copies i mentioned. Corpos copy a game without understanding its ''essence' ' and this process happens again and again. After a while even the bad copies get copied which results in something even worse but the goal isn't making a good game it's making profit.

yes, copies of copies happen, but it's not a linear function of things absolutely getting worse over time. again, i might be misinterpreting what you're saying but my point is that economic shifts drive cultural shifts which in turn drive art. i think the reason games and art in particular are bad right now is a combination of neoliberal deregulation and the fact our economy has been shit ever since circa 2015 and it's only gonna get worse for at least the next 6 years. at least.

I just read it and it basically argues that dumbing down TV is nothing new (think about soap operas), and that netflix asking people to dumb things down is not a widespread phenomenon. They asked many people who wrote netflix shows and almost none of them were told to dumb down their scripts to make things better for casual audiences. It ends by saying that shows that made for casual viewing and shows that demand attention both have a place in our society.

>>145368oof, i didn't. i only really linked it as proof netflix had a second-screening strategy in the first place
as for the interviews, idk if that's super trustworthy, netflix might have paid them or something, but i don't really have proof for that. I was moreso trying to illustrate that the strategy itself is there, netflix knows modern consumption trends and is leaning into it.
>dumbing down TV is nothing newtrue but it's in a different way now. there's a difference between watching mindless slop (soaps, reality) because you're bored and letting it play in the background while you watch something completely different on your phone. the point isn't that tv is being dumbed down per se, a lot of tv has always been mindless entertainment, it's that corporations are adapting to our addictions.
still, my bad, I should've read the article
here's what I'm talking about btw:
https://www.eicoff.com/drtv-blog/95-of-consumers-have-mobile-devices-in-hand-while-watching-tv*Note, we don't know the sample size
https://theconversation.com/too-distracted-to-watch-netflix-has-the-perfect-second-screen-show-for-you-249012*The interviews, of course, could be made up
this all comes from an n+1 essay. it's pretty wordy and it's mostly just complaining about netflix original slop (
https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-49/essays/casual-viewing/) but the strategy exists and that's what's important
