  • I like the concept. I don’t know how it would work in practice.

    I think it would ultimately end up fragmented, especially when funding gets involved.

    Who makes the decision for what gets funded? What is that decision process?

    I think there will be space for a community funded news non-profit, but also I think NPR is already primed to fill that void.

    I think an aggregated approach is more “Fediverse” like. But once again, who decides what does/doesn’t get published?

    I think if those decisions and how they’re made are transparent, that would increase credibility, but it would end up being silo’ed because people like to read/watch things that they already agree with.

    As I said earlier, I think PBS & NPR are primed to take on this kind of role. Personally I would love some more non-profit news reporting organizations.

    Is watching someone play the game the same as playing a game myself, absolutely not.

    Can I get satisfaction and an understanding of a game I know I never would’ve played otherwise, yes.

    I’m not going to put in enough hours to make it through difficult games like dark souls or Hollow Knight. But I’ll put a walkthrough on while I do work or chores so I can experience those games in some way.

    I’m all for it, but it scratches a different kind of itch than playing a game does.

    Their reactions to being on the big screen, which instigated Chris Martin’s live commentary, is what’s causing this video to go viral.

    The point being if they hadn’t had this reaction to getting caught, Chris Martin wouldn’t have commented, and the video probably never would’ve taken off or even been posted outside of someone’s private story.

    If someone is having an affair, and having an affair in a public place, and the affair is between the CEO and the lead person at the company who knows better than to instigate this type of relationship (the head of HR), then this is a hilarious way to get caught.
