#Tokenization Industry

[transmechanicus]

If a band’s members haven’t revealed their identities on purpose i don’t FUCKING wanna know them, the modern obsession with parasocial connection is a disease and i have nothing but respect for artists trying to ward that shit off.

[words-after-midnight]

I find the common idea that people of marginalized identities always want to write about those identities very tiring. Not every story is meant to be a direct reflection of the author's own experiences, which seems easy for people to grasp when the author is a cishet white guy, but apparently not so much when they're almost anyone else.

"Sleep Token doesn't belong into metal!"

Well they've been acknowledged by THE Metal God himself, so your opinion is literally irrelevant, go cry somewhere else.

Once again: Brandi Carlile is one of the most influential people in the music industry right now, and if you haven’t realized it, you’re not paying attention.

The Agony Engine

Created by the mad artificer Zaedalus in his attempt to escape the hell realm of Industry, the Agony Engine will consume everything and everyone in the world above, unless a wrench can be thrown into its blood-stained machinery. (Created using ink, Krita, and animated via OpenToonz, destroyed by a party of adventurers)

Okay so this is something that I held off on saying outright because of Natalie and the sway she had over the RPC, but one of the reasons that we require fcs to have a large following if they're not already in the entertainment industry (or trying to be in the industry) on GPN is because it feels oddly dehumanizing and tokenizing to take people who agreed to be part of a documentary or are in someone else's vlog because they are disabled or an ethnic minority and trying to use that person as an fc for "representation". While there isn't an abundance of disabled actors, they are out there, and I would much rather use an actor or model than an activist or someone who is literally just disabled and happens to be in a video, because they're not trying to break into the entertainment world, they're just living their lives.

Not to mention, when those people are only in one documentary or an episode of a show about disabilities, you're not going to get a lot of resources anyway, so it's not sustainable to use them as an FC. Just, when you're going forward and making resources of normal non-famous people because you think they'd be "good representation," please think twice about why you're actually making those resources. Would your time be better spent gifing a disabled actor or singer or model who is actually famous or even someone who's trying to break into the industry, who will likely have more footage down the line and actually give people more incentive to use that FC? Or are you just trying to gif as many people as you can to say that you're inclusive?

They will never make a boy pink. They refuse to give you a boy in pink. If you really want a blue girl, they will give you a blue girl, but you will never get a pink boy from them. They'd rather die before putting a boy in pink.

Now, with the rise of blockchain technology, the very nature of filmmaking is on the cusp of a major evolution that could entice many new talents into the industry from far-flung countries, and perhaps even end the dominance of movie-making hubs like Hollywood and Bollywood.

Tokenization Market Share, Regional Scope - 2024, Business Outlook, Growth Opportunity Assessment

Global Tokenization Market was valued at USD 1.61 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 5.25 billion by the year 2028, at a CAGR of 18.4%.

Tokenization is the process of transforming sensitive data into non-sensitive tokens that can be utilized in a database or internal system without being made public. Tokenization protects sensitive data by replacing it with an irrelevant value of the same length and format as the original. The tokens are subsequently delivered to an organization's internal systems to be used, while the original data is kept in a token vault. Tokenized data, unlike encrypted data, is impregnable and irrevocable. Tokens cannot be returned to their original form since the token and its original number are unrelated mathematically.

Market Dynamics and Factors:        

Tokenization shields businesses from the financial ramifications of data theft. Even if there is a breach, no user personal data may be accessed. By eliminating credit card details from POS devices and internal systems, credit card tokenization helps online companies improve data security from the point of data capture to storage. Data tokenization secures credit card and bank account information in a virtual vault, allowing organizations to communicate sensitive information over wireless networks safely. Tokenization is only effective if a payment gateway is used to securely store sensitive data.

restaurant au w simon (- inspired by bistro huddy, amber and joey my loves )

you were the new little hostess, your first job in the resturant industry - congrats youre gonna hate it! your boss made you very at home and taught you how to use the computer, check reservations and such.

you met all the staff and you became quite fond of one of the waitresses she helped you get to know who to talk to when something goes bad and what to do.

one of the chefs caught your eye, simon, well ghost thats what he liked to be called. he was an ex-army man and liked everything to be done a particular way, probably why the restaurant was top rated in the city. he was grumpy but he was a good chef. simon had this rugged look to him: short dirty blonde hair, scars, tattoos; he was quite intimidating but he seemed interesting.

during your first offical day, you fucked up, you sat nearly nine different tables at once resulting in a pissed off ghost due to the influx of orders. he called you into the kitchen.

“what the fuck are you doing?” he asked in that gruff tone, the kitchen smoky, a few other chefs in there and a few of the waiters standing around a bowl of fries. “stop acting like a dick and tell them to wait,” he said pissed off, his accent was heavily english and gruff. cigarette smoker.

“im sorry.” you said quickly and he just rolled his eyes getting more frustrated.

at the end of your shift you went to the nearby convenience store, brought a pack of cigs and a bottle of booze for him to say sorry.

by the time you came back, he was the only one there. he was in standing in the kitchen finishing off as he wiped down the sides and wrote down a list of food that needed to be ordered in for tomorrow.

“um ghost, sorry about earlier.” you quickly tell him handing him the cigarettes and bottle “its my first day and i was being a ditz i shouldve known better.” you were now rambling. he looked down at the token gift.

suprisingly soft he spoke “thanks birdie, just try to be a little more aware.” he took the cigarettes pocketing them instantly - they were a brand he was quite happy with and grabbed the bottle by the neck.

“i will, still im sorry.” you replied again fumbling with your own fingers.

“fresh slate tomorrow.” he tells you before leaving. fresh slate.

So why do you hate the advertising industry?

Hokay so.

Let me preface this with some personal history. It's not relevant to the sins of the advertising industry perse but it illustrates how I started to grow to hate it.

I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up, but to be a vet you basically have to be good enough to get into medical school. I do not have the math chops or discipline to make it in medical school. I went into art instead, and in a desperate attempt to find some commercial viability that didn't involve moving to California, I went into graphic design.

I've been a graphic designer for about seven or eight years now and I've worn a lot of hats. One of them was working in a print shop. Now, the print shop had a lot of corporate customers who had various ad campaigns. One of them was Gate City Bank, which had a bigass stack of postcards ordered every couple months to mail to their customers.

Now, paper comes from Dakota Paper, and they make their paper the usual way. Somewhere far, far from our treeless plain there is a forest of tall trees. These trees are cut down and put on big fossil fuel burning trucks and hauled to a paper mill that turns them into pulp while spewing the most fowl odors imaginable over the neighboring town and loads the pulp up with bleach to give it a nice white color.

Then the paper is put on yet another big truck and hauled off to the local paper depot, then put on another big truck and delivered to my print shop, where I turned the paper into postcards telling people to go even deeper into debt to buy a boat because it's almost summer. The inks used are a type of nasty heat sensitive plastic that is melted to the surface of the paper with heat. Then the postcards are put on yet ANOTHER truck and sent to the bank, which puts them on ANOTHER truck and finally into the hands of their customers, who open their mail and take one look at the post card and immediately discard it.

Heaps and heaps and literal hundreds of pounds of literal garbage created at the whim of the marketing team several times a year. And thats just one bank in one city.

I came to realize very quickly that graphic design was the delicate art of turning trees into junk mail.

And wouldn't you know it there are a TON of companies that basically only do junk mail. Many of them operate under the guise of a "charity," sending you pictures of suffering children or animals and begging for handouts and when they get those handouts the executives take a nice fat cut, give some small token amount to whatever cause they pay lip service to, and then put the rest of the cash right back into making more mailers. "Direct mail marketing" they call it.

Oh but maybe it's not so bad, you can advertise online after all. Now that there's decent ad blocker out there and better anti-virus ads usually don't destroy your computer anymore just by existing.

Except now when I search for the exact business I want on Google it's buried under three or four different "promoted search items" tricking me into clicking on them only to shoot themselves in the foot because I searched for the specific result I wanted for a reason and couldn't use those other websites even if I felt like it.

And now we have advertising on YouTube and on every streaming service, forcing more and more eyes onto the ad for the brand new Buick Envision that parks itself because you're too stupid to do it on your own.

Oh thats ok maybe I'll get Spotify premium and go ad free and listen to some podcasts- SIKE we have the hosts of your show doing the song and dance now. Are you depressed and paranoid from listening to my true crime podcast about murdered and mutilated teenagers? That's ok, my sponsor Better Help can keep you sane enough to stay alive and spend more money.

It's gotten so terrible that now you have content farms, huge hubs of shell companies that crank out video after video to get more and more precious clicks. Which if the videos were innocuous maybe that wouldn't be so awful except now you have cooking hacks that can actually burn your house down and craft hacks that can electrocute you being flung into your eyes at the speed of mach fuck so some slimy internet clickbait jockey doesn't need to get a real job.

It of course goes without saying that animals are also relentlessly exploited by clickbait companies that will put them in compromising situations on purpose to create a fake fishing hack video or even just straight up killing them for sport by feeding small animals to a pufferfish that rips them apart for the camera.

And all of this, ALL of this doesn't even touch how adveritising is the death of art in general. Queer topics, any kind of interesting art, any kind of sex or substance use topics are scrubbed clean and hidden at the behest of advertisers.

Sex education, a nude statue, topics such as racism or sexism or bigotry in general have tags purged or hidden from search, even life saving information about SDTs or drug use, because if someone saw that and complained then Verizon might sell fewer tablets and we can't fucking have that.

Conservative talking heads often bitch and moan that they're being censored on social media. The stupid part is, they're right! They are being censored! But it's not by a woke mob, it's by ATT and Coca Cola not wanting their adspace sharing screen time with their stupid fucking opinions.

However, they won't ever figure that out, because the talking heads they get their marching orders from like Tucker and Jones ALSO rely on the sweet milk flowing from the sponsorship teat and they aren't about to turn on their meal ticket so they have to come up with even stupider shit to say for the train to continue rolling.

I managed to rant this far without even getting into the ads I see for the beauty industry. The other day a botox ad described wrinkles as "moderate to severe crows feet" as if wrinkles are a symptom of a fucking serious disease! Like having a flaw in your skin is a medical problem that you need thousands of dollars of literal botulism toxin to fix! I was incandescent with anger.

Advertising is a polluting, censoring, anti educational and anti art industry at it's very core. It destroys human connections, suppresses human thought and makes us hate our own bodies. It ads no value, actively detracts from value, and serves no real purpose and I believe it should be almost if not entirely banned.
