Reply to comment by PetyrDayne in Future-Set Hello Tomorrow! Is Another Unique, (Qualified) Success for Apple TV+ by PetyrDayne
First paragraph tries to sell a narrative that, on surface level, describing services as first being good before being bad seems to contain some deeper truth. It ignores that as many sites start "bad", but we tend to only notice those that start good because bad starts tend to get discontinued. Plus, becoming mainstream inherently puts strain as well as its own evolution on sites and in terms of social media like reddit, the impossibility of moderating the largest subs or the sheer amount of users is what "enshittens" things. It's just describing some natural challenges in business growth in other words, separating "users" from business customers. The fuck is a business customer?
Entertainment journalism, ever the wild frontier.

I actually wish it went even deeper into postapocalyptic theatre. With some dark humor. Then the mine episode happened.
I did not really like trying to both have action scenes and the theatre stuff, all with a very straight and serious tone.

Because avoiding responsibility for the political direction of the country is moral?
Even irrational, ignorant beings can surely still assert their own values upon politics without there being anything wrong with it, I think.

I think a philosophy sub would offer the best dialogue when not debating, but sharing views instead. And the dude you spoke to really didn't want to have a debate I think.

Can only trust adaptations based on what are basically history books like House of the Dragon.
Can't despoil the message if there is none.

OP is a Star Wars nerd based on what, watching Star Wars content?
The usual commentary about fans being overly critical or dogmatic isn't really fair here.
OP never compared the show to Andor either.
