Isn't that TikTok? Content creators create some really interesting and cool content.

And then Tiktok overlays unrelated fortnite footage while also putting giant cartoon bubble captions, but only 1 word at a time. Sometimes in an AI voice.

And try as I might, I cannot endorse that style/formula. Call me a lame boomer, but that just steals other talented peoples work, and shits all over it with almost zero effort.

Though as I type this, I realize this is Lemmy, and the majority of you probably won't use Tiktok either for similar reasons, along with it not being open source.

Though to be fair, I would still hate the tiktok culture if it had originated on loops.

    The new style is actually worse. They cut / paste other people's work (usually entire scenes from a movie) and then have an AI talking in the background. Normally the AI is so quiet you can barely hear it, but I guess it's enough to bypass any censorship.

    And then we will need content cruisers and content battleships to combat the content destroyers and then we will entuslly see content aircraft carriers launching content dive bombers to sink the content battleships making big gun content naval doctrine obsolete.

    In the absence of content destroyers, I'm happy to settle for content selectors, like OP.

    I routinely destroy the so-called "logic & believability" of shows I watch by calling out all the flaws I see. Does that qualify?

    That's censorship. Which I understand for hate speech, but it's problematic if you censor stuff broadly.
