Today Adam Sandler's releasing a movie that's being marketed as "this one is not supposed to be funny*

I thought that was already what all the others were about

#Adam Sandler #Netflix #I don't have Netflix #i will not pay a subscription to get ads #that's humiliating

i think the consensus of the watcher situation is that people would pay a subscription service but seeing the content as it is now they cant justify

#and neither can i considering its much more expensive than six for me #but honestly dont reblog this is just my ramblings but i was never into ghost files #i always preferred unsolved the jokes and they were just wackier there idk #the only show i probably like is puppet history(which i see alot of people saying) maybe we can pay for it once a year #but i woild predict for that to be a terrible business model #because they need subscriptions all year round #idk how this would end up probably adding new shows etc to keep people engaged #but the hardpart like what they did with dropout was to get people who didnt know college humor who weren’t subscribed before to subscribe a #and considering that most of their fanbase is wuite young and cant afford food rn #they would have to rely on outsode their fanbase #but i also cant think of people who would sub ? like this vid was funny but i dont think normies who dont care aboit shane and yan would pay #so if they are alienating their fans the high likelihood of enticing a new audience to pay for content is low idk how this will end up for t #them #i guess to say is dropout was such an anomaly with game changer and dnd #but with the consistency of quality dropout managed to stay afloat #cant say the same for watcher #watcher #dropout #college humor #*#shane madej #ryan bergara

hi what do you use to draw program/brush/ect wise? I really like your brushes you use

hi hi!

for my digital art i use HiPaint (it's basically a procreate clone for people who don't have apple products 😅) it's free to use and you can watch an ad to unlock premium features and brushes for 2hrs. another heads up on ads, sometimes when you open/return to a canvas it plays a short ad (like less than 5 seconds) and occasionally an ad bar will appear at the bottom of the canvas, but otherwise it's a pretty simple and clear UI. it does have a subscription plan to remove ads and get all the premium features, BUT the nice thing is it also has one-time purchases for select premium features as well. the number of layers depends on how big the canvas is. it has a lot of useful tools (gradient, clip mask, liquify, simple animation, etc etc.)

and the brush, i got from Kipzis Brush Shop: https://www.kipzi.ca/l/cmadd?layout=profile

#ask the crab #i always like a good textured brush #because with smooth brushes #i end up getting too focused on making the lines smooth #but if the lines aren't smooth to begin with it helps snap me out of the perfectionist mindset #honestly have been considering paying for the one-time purchase to remove the ads #they're not annoying but the one-time purchase doesn't cost too much and it would just be a QOL improvement #plus GOSH i hate subscription services #just too much anxiety #y'all remember buying something once and owning it?#man that is wild #i have had an issue in the past where entire layers disappeared on me but that seems to have been fixed

Bruh… almost all the episodes of Camp Camp have been pulled from YouTube…. (I’m not sure if any of the specials are still there, but the first episode is)… wtf.?

#camp camp #cc roosterteeth #roosterteeth #ash rambles #shut up ash!#I was looking through my playlists that I have saved #and I didn’t see the whole camp camp series there like it usually is #so I went to search for it #and it showed that the whole playlist was unavailable #i feel like this is a way for more people to use the app #and either deal with the fuck load of ads or pay the first subscription for no ads #(though I dunno if you don’t get ads when you do pay for the subscription so I’m not sure..)#it’s fucking stupid imo #:/

Getting real sick of the invasive 'go premium' bullshit on the Tumblr app. Scrolling down becomes a risky issue incase you accidentally click on the bastard thing.

AND just to make it worse, I swear to fuck they front load non premium pages with ads for dating sites and gatcha games designed to steal money or blazed content that I couldn't give two fucks about because if I did...I'd be following the cunt!

But sure. Erase trans voices in favour of scammy, money stealing ads or promotions of rando posts that are yet another fucking ad. Glad to see the porno ban working out for ya champ.

A trans person can't post a nice selfie without it being nuked from orbit but ads for cishet dating sites and crap mobile games designed to only be pay to 'win' are totally fine and not invasive or predatory in anyway? Fuck off.

#my ramblings #sick of this shit #Ad after ad after ad #I get it gotta pay the bills to run this pit but...a better fucking standard would be nice #Options to opt out even if you don't have a subscription at least for fucking Blazed posts...#Ain't nothing worse than seeing what my cool mututals post up about actual issues effecting the LGBTQ+ community only to get -#- a blazed post from some right wing lunatic or some ad for a game or a post that has no relevance to anything I'm into

spotify will add absolutley nothing new to their serivce and up the price each year anyway

#ray.txt #want to cancel my subscription but I'm on a plan with four other people #I probably will because I don't think spotify is worth £20 a month and I'm the one paying with nobody else #especially when songs can suddenly become unavailable or whole discographies can vanish #never mind that the lyrics they provide can just Not Be There for a lot of songs #or blatantly incorrect - like not even just mishearing a word just completely incorrect lyrics #or just in a different language #like the lyrics for White Coat Syndrome by Drain are in spanish when that song has zero spanish in it #or the fact you still get ads on podcasts even on premium and this can be on top of baked-in ads #like what is the point of paying a subscription if I still get ads anyways

i know that the "adulting sucks" thing has been overdone to the point of obnoxious, but seriously

seriously

adulting fucking sucks

#running the numbers on my budget and calculating how much i can afford per month on things #bc i will likely need a new car soon and i need to figure out what kind of budget i have for it and what my options are #and i get a bill from a doctor's visit in fucking november for almost $150 after insurance payout and my copay and like.#hey i was told on my insurance shit that i would only have a $50 copay! and i had met my deductible!#it legitimately looks like they waited until it rolled over to charge my insurance specifically so i would no longer have met it #like the visit was in november. why did you wait until mid-april to payout?#my insurance rolled over at the beginning of april. huh. what a fucking coincidence.#idk who to call about this but this stinks of bullshit #i should not be owing that money. period. and there is absolutely no excuse for sending me the bill for it eight months later.#and i need to clean my apartment. and i need to feed myself at some point.#and i need to cancel att and set up the comcast internet that's recently been folded into rent as an amenity #i have already gone through and canceled all the subscriptions i don't use #so check that box off #and like. i don't want a roommate and i really am not looking for a relationship with anyone.#but doing all this shit on my own and having to pay every bill on my own and having to do all the cooking and cleaning on my own is just.#exhausting #i am so so tired #and i'm looking at things and i intend to go through online school for a communications degree which will be reimbursed through my job #and there may be a lead position opening up soon which everyone seems to be pushing me towards which would be a title change #and significant raise at the cost of added stress #and i feel like butter spread over too much bread #i need to work anti-burnout measures into my schedule and budget now to get the structure i'll need #but i am already so tired #but i need the raise and i need the degree to gtfo of this career

need to make one of those cash grab ad filled mobile games or something for a quick buck

#this is half a joke i would never exploit people like that #ive had thoughts about how i would go about funding free games though and thats by having optional ads that you have to click for #instead of fuckin. forced ones or banner ones #there would be nag windows though: hi there. would you like to watch an ad for a bonus? [yes] [no] [stop asking]#if u say the last one the window will say [i won't ask again for 24 hours. if you want to permanently disable ads and this window please bu #no ads in the shop for 4.99]#like its still annoying but.. other option is just making a paid game #which is fine too ig #it always fucking annoys me when people put their no ads thing as a weekly subscription for like 25 fucking bucks like ???#AND ITS NOT EVEN ALL ADS #ITS ONLY FORCED ONES #IF IM PAYING THAT MUCH THEN I SHOULD GET ALL BONUSES FOR FREE #the state of mobile games today depresses me #thinks about lone survivor for mobile and how great it was

uh oh lol

#LMAO????#bitchin and whinin about proposed changes that havent happened or probably wont happen meanwhile they cant afford to keep the lights on #bxksbdksbdjsbdjdbdndnd #like uh we might be screwed…… what it its over……#actually tbh just going for crowdfunding might actually work. this userbase is WAY too proud to actually pay for services like adblock #because most people are anti ad on principle and already have free adblock. which like fair but #and actually paying for other services like blaze and crabs or whatever is seen as cringe because tbh it kinda is #but donating to preserve a crumbling website out of goodness of hearts? thats prime real estate. that gets you ao3 money #thats volunteer archival work for a queer space. and yknow what i would donate. im on this shit 24/7 like an insane person #how am i paying other subscription services to use them less. like id cry if this went away for real not to be a bitch #but also can tumblr’s twitter account not be embarrasing for 3 seconds when important stuff is going on. pls.

Where's that post saying advertisements as we currently know them should be illegal. That person was so right

#im tired of billboards im tired of commercials im tired of pop ups #dude i got gas the other day and the fucking pump started playing an ad at me i fuckin got back in my car to ignore it #if a gas station pump has too fancy of a screen i literally go somewhere else with a dumber machine. im so tired of it #bf's brother's girlfriend pays for dis/ney+ and it infuriates me that she fuckin pays to watch more commercials than show.#i would cancel immediately if that were my money like tf???#i refuse to buy any subscription that promises no ads. like yeah? watch me on my computer get adblocked.#like i'm literally just trying to listen to a 3min song and you give me an ad thats 7:49 long? for a PILL? fuck you

WITH A FUCKING SUBSCRIPTION. OBVS #WANT YOUR DATA TO NOT BE STOLEN AND PREYED UPON FOR PROFIT ??? FUCKING PAY US IDIOT!!!!!#mark i will turn each of your limbs into calzones

Monster Hunter <3

#i cant wait until they announce the next one. idk when that will be but i am sooo excited.#especially since they have actually started adding frontier monsters again #since frontier is not officially available anymore they dont have the excuse of maintaining monster exclusivity #i hope they continue bringing back frontier monsters. i want my hummingbird dragon #and the sick music.....#like yeah there was pushback when hypnocatrice and lavasioth entered mainline but that was because #frontier was still going and people were upset that they had to pay a subscription for stuff they could get in a one time purchase game #espinas in rise was a hugely popular addition #so i think that may encourage them to continue adding some frontier monsters to the main series #anyways. i love monster hunter i love the creature designs especially the less dragon-like ones #or the very atypical dragons

Currently importing some cds into my itunes #modernlife

#jext #I refuse to pay for subscription music because I usually listen to the same few albums #hoopla digital gots my back #or in this case I just bought five cds for cheap on eBay #and the rest I get from goodwill and library shops for a couple bucks each #no ads no hassle and neat little booklets besides

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!
