#prolefeed

[fwoosheye]

I have not read 1984 yet so I had to look up on wiktionary what "prolefeed" meant and:

Etymology:

prole +‎ feed, coined by George Orwell in 1949 in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Noun: prolefeed (uncountable):

Worthless entertainment and propaganda designed to satisfy the masses

Prolefeed absolutely is a term that fit this, and a lot of other media. We should use it more

...btw i saw this article about ai and copyright from the Verge (from 15th nov 2022) that might be interesting to people. It also included a link where one could check if a picture or a text had been scraped by ai, but I haven't checked myself yet if that link still works or how. And here's an article about an ongoing lawsuit between OpenAI and New York Times (updated 10th jan 2024)

“Author of 25+ best-selling Pride & Prejudice variations”

Yeah, no.

Scenes from extremist political rallies targeting the Lower Classes we'd love to see

Some misguided "patriot" organisation hires a sound engineer who turns out to be so incompetent, he drives the mostly "poor white trash" audience (more than likely bussed in from rural areas with Walmart or Dollar General gift cards as inducement) into utter confusion when, for some reason, he winds up playing "The Tra-La-La Song" (otherwise familiar to many of you as The Banana Splits' theme) on the tannoy rather than some strident patriotic ballad aimed at stoking latent hatreds in service to God and Country on a par with the Horst Wessel back in Nazi Germany or "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika" in apartheid South Africa.

getting tired of people using 'slop' to refer to literally everything they don't like. atp it just registers to my ears as the channer version of 'prolefeed'

I often feel like the only non-zionist jew. Like i can go on tumblr and see anti-zionist posts from jewish people and in my logical brain i KNOW im not the only one. But tumblr is basically the ether. It's hammerspace. I know i can just reach behind my back and pull out an essay written by a non zionist jew. The problem is the gaza holocaust has undermined jews’ mindset of “we take care of our own”. Because we’re NOT taking care of our own. My whole synagogue is full of zionists. I felt unwelcome and unsafe there so i had to stop going. I have been ABANDONED by the jewish community just because i think israel should stop killing innocent people.

Moreover that somehow makes me an antisemite? Starbucks feminists and other goyim think they're qualified to tell me that im practising judaism wrong. Its gotten to the point i hear a jew say “we take care of our community” (as in the jewish community) and i KNOW they're zionist just as sure as i know the guy flying double confederate flags from his nasty old pickup truck is a trump supporter. And the thing that is the most frustrating is that Palestinians arent the problem. The IOF is the problem. Zionists are the problem. Biden is the problem. Trump is the problem. People eating from the prolefeed trough without doing any sort of critical thinking are the problem.

How dare zionists read from the haggadah on passover? How dare they talk about freedom from oppression while simultaneously pledging their undying support for a regime committed to slaughtering palestinians? How dare they end their seder by saying "next year, in jerusalem"?

Ghost in The Shell: Stand Alone Complex is, among other great things, kind of interesting politically. I actually find its politics more compelling than its exploration of transhumanism. Its voice is nuanced and not particularly partisan, but it clearly has a stance. [Long effortpost - Mild spoilers hereon!]

---

Starting at a very high level:

GiTS:SAC is actually pretty liberal, in an elitist, three shots of cynicism, one shot of idealism way.

As in, like, yes, naturally, there's a political and business elite.

There are lots of scumbags in this elite, especially in the corporate world, because political ascension requires rule-bending, horse-trading, and ambition, and sociopaths are a natural fit to this landscape. They work to eliminate all opposition to their preferred world order. What do they want? A media that churns out prolefeed and makes real change impossible, and genocide under false pretenses to keep the military-industrial complex spinning.

These scumbags are a closeknit bunch. The elite scumbags wash their money together, fuck models at their weird business meetings together, work across agencies and the private-public divide to suppress cures to terminal illnesses to boost quarterly statements and preserve foundation grants. Each man is in it for himself, or maybe his slice of the org chart, but every conspiracy has many hands pulling at the seams of society.

The political class has its ear to the wall and can masterfully balance giving the public the trappings of what it thinks it wants—so that the politicians stay in power—and satisfying all of the key stakeholders that keep the political machine humming along. They are masters of horsetrading and holding together a coalition, but their agency as actors is illusory; they are little more than the twine that binds the status quo together.

But very importantly, the elite doesn't just consist of scumbags. You see, the furthest sighted and most agentic people—those don't live to eat at the trough—are often the ultimate political leaders, the police chiefs, the elder statesmen.

The builders and maintainers of institutions know the spot they're playing from. They're used to being among scoundrels and backstabbers. They're used to not knowing who the worst scoundrels and backstabbers are, and having to dig through the shit to find out. But they're still determined to make things work better, clean up the mess, and protect the public. In the end, they'll know records to subpoena. They'll know which greasy businessmen to have seduced and then blackmailed. They'll know where to lay siege in the dawn raids.

Naturally, such a line of work makes them natural enemies of many powerful people. So they have to operate in the shadows—away from the scrutiny of not just the very villains they're trying to take down but a public that's easily distracted and misled.

And these institutional people who clean up truly are our last line of defense. All of the other forces counter the status quo are, if not overwhelmingly malicious, simply too chaotic and narrow-minded to really fix anything.

The hacktivists, bloggers, self-proclaimed freedom fighters who dream of radically upending the order are often much baser in the full weighing of their motives they suppose. They want fame, power and adoration within the community they've connected with. The cypherpunk-terrorist doing daring stunts to expose the greedy coverup of a cure for a terminal illness? He's really just vengeful about his own debilitating disease. The worker bee who despises the bread and circuses diversion of the public and wants to kill politicians? Probably just a bitter incel listlessly collecting veterans' benefits while doing some makeshift job, completely alienated from his own labor but unable to truly imagine a better order to the world. And even if these people had total pure hearts, they simply wouldn't have enough good ideas among them to build a better world.

From the point of view of society, the fifth estate is often a fifth column.

The public does not know its own interest. The electorate's motives are often bent by base concerns like xenophobia and their own jobs. Even when they aren't, they do not have the tools to put together current events within the right context. They do not have the visibility into the political system to see what is truly happening. Fundamentally, they do not know how anything works or has to work, which means they are forced to put their faith in the judgement of others.

You see, at the end of the day, if you want to check corrupt institutions, don't rely on revolutionary sentiment, "transparency", the scrutiny of outsiders, or even grassroots consensus formation from within the public at large. There's only one thing that works: managing power by dividing it. Keep the institutions in an unsteady, adversarial dance. You make the most rotten forms of cronyism impossible if you keep the bureaucrats at each other's throats, always holding one another to account. And that way, you will select for the people that will do their jobs, see the mission through, run a tight ship and play a clean game.

Comparative analysis—more wonky/academic/boring?

This view of politics rhymes with some things I'm familiar with. Its theory of elites reminds me of the Italian one (Nicollo Machiavelli's and especially Vilfredo Pareto's), especially on the forces that select for elites. The view of how society is stratified and the noble lie is very Platonic. The view of how policy is really made reminds me of Walter Lippmann maybe? But idk. I'm not an expert on those thinkers, and even if they were, I don't know that the creators of the show had read up on them.

What other things work this way? Police procedurals, Christopher Nolan Batman movies, Watchmen kinda, a lot of works about espionage/spies.

Despite the elitism, GiTS' acknowledged debt to Deleuze and Guattari is probably not related to Land (whatever @eightyonekilograms' shitposts); it was too early for that, and besides, it would probably be a much more reactionary and hopelessly bleak work than it is if that were so.

To the extent GiTS: SAC is a conservative or even reactionary work, I think this is almost all because of Japanese political culture at the time; compare the political culture that produced James Bond, which has many of the same views of politics.* And GiTS:SAC is a clearly more feminist work than Bond movies.* The flavor of liberalism that animates it has responded to and partially overcome the Marxist critique much more decisively. The bits of xenophobia are almost entirely a Japanese peculiarity...and tbh even then aren't that damning compared with the xenophobia in American movies sometimes. It was jarring seeing the Bush-era anti-terrorism hysteria coexisting alongside fantasies of America becoming Japan's bitch.

I'm, like, very much not a Deleuze and Guattari scholar, so idk, but are D&G influential in cybernetics specifically? Ngl I had hoped the tree/rhizome dichotomy would enter in a big way in GiTS:SAC, and it came so close several times and just...didn't. There's so much stuff about the group vs the collective in modes of being. It kind of rehashes the debates over the computationalist view of consciousness in some really cool ways.

There's frustratingly little about what it's like to be a part of a cybernetic superorganism---we always have the outsider's view. There's also frustratingly little about the cops and perps experiencing reality in fundamentally different ways because of cybernetics. That's a pretty hard storytelling target, but...there was such nutritious soil for this stuff in the show! And the writers just...laid it all fallow! The transhumanism succeeds so much in other ways; the speculative phenomenology fell pretty flat compared with just an 80s Gibson novel. Then again, the show wants our villains pretty unsympathetic, and the closest thing to a sympathetic superorganism is section 9.

*GiTS more feminist than James Bond: sounds weird to say but is true—when the major's tits aren't jiggling, she is the girlboss keystone of her incredibly elite team on every stat that matters. Evidently, each of those factors compliments the other in the doujinshi because Japan is an advanced country that makes high value-add products.

**Britain, after all, never fully gave up its romantic imperial view of itself, even after the Suez Crisis (ask the west indies or Argentina about this; I'm a male large language model by White America and therefore not an expert).

Imagine back in Jellystone Park the prospect of Yogi Bear, with his faithful Boo-Boo in tow, stumbling upon a discarded bottle of the old cherry brandy, and "smarter-than-the-average" "himself" takes a sample swig out of curiosity ... only to have Boo-Boo stunned at the effect such is having upon Yogi, including light-headedness (not to mention the usual desire to plunder tourist picnic baskets).

2 points: fine art is a speculative investment for rich people completely divorced from the work as Art 

and as such the cultural cachet of the works and the artists is socially constructed and given to be like. bad art from boring people with good connections. 

i lied. 3 points. counter argument: i could do that

but Could You Though? could you make that? really? maybe you could copy it, but could you, staring at the proverbial blank canvas with only what is in your human soul, Make It? 

i think you should! but its important to highlight this is an incredibly hostile attitude towards art as a human pursuit, and may be a more broader dislike of the abstract world. 

which to quote that post, duchamp has been kicking your ass for 107 slutty slutty years. unfortunately as a former teenage edgelord i am extremely partial to art that are hostile to the viewer and Art itself. 

i would be hard pressed to make an argument against something being art, rather than to justify why something is.

but also art is. you know. a toy for rich people and corporations to make money and clout. which on the high-end can inaccessible and off putting and on the low-end could uncharitably be called prolefeed. she contains multitudes.

Nothing could be finer--

--than to imagine certain obnoxiously pathetic "political messages" airing at time rates cut short when the message starts getting dreadfully pathetic and conspiratorial, Twilight Zone-like even, and quickly replaced with some choice Hanna-Barbera flicktoon called from abeyance with no warning to the viewer (mostly lower-class "poor white trash" living in economically-challenged areas) save for an unexplained increase in volume when the flicktoon comes on.

[sohannabarberaesque]

And we could just imagine Scooby-Doo and crew investigating this place, finding a whole litany of scams taking advantage of especially tourists fond of the worst in Conspiracy Theories seemingly right out of The Twilight Zone in its Luscious Glory, amplified all the more by questionable prolefeeding "news channels" and websites exploiting in particular the Lower Classes, notwithstanding conservative ideologues seeming to parrot Chinese Communists' True Belief in the "Unified and Harmonious Society" ideal.

Our right to freedom of opinion has been undermined.

Under oppressive regimes, opinions are controlled by careful restriction of information, and the sources of information.

The modern online equivalent, even though we believe we live in a free society, is polluted by fake news and misinformation. It violates our freedom in a similar way. Our freedom to form reliable thoughts that are our own and not those of someone else.

It is a worryingly short distance from George Orwell's ''prolefeed" ("the rubbishy entertainment and spurious news which the Party handed out to the masses" - taken from his book 1984) to Facebook, Twitter/X and Instagram.

“Bringing Tumblr more in line with industry standards.” Okay, but have you considered that the industry standards are inherently flawed? 

Even before Twitter became Elon’s personal safe-space, it used similar methods to what has been proposed here to elevate certain users at the expense of all others. Ultimately, it caused people with less than 1,000 followers to get completely lost in the shuffle while people with millions of followers got elevated by simply existing. When Reddit came along and said they needed to make more money, and the way they had to do that was remarkably similar to what has been proposed here (except, of course, for paywalling the API, which tumblr made a big deal about not doing lately; plus that whole “landed gentry” deal that really hasn’t been said at tumblr yet), they ignored the fact that their userbase required the niche experience that had heretofore been provided by the website in order to remain engaged there. Respected creators of long-standing left the website, moderators privatised their subs and then were forced to resume operations, but left their subs in an unrecognisable shambles. The facts of the matter are that when Twitter changed its business model, there was a mass exodus. When Reddit changed its business model, there was a mass exodus. When tumblr changes its business model...

Before going too far into that, certain features of tumblr have been perennially broken (e.g. search, tagging) and as a result of that, users have found other ways of circulating their posts. There’s the “word of mouth/trickle-up” methodology of their followers reblogging things to bring posts to their followers and so on until we arrive at Science Fiction Logos in the Wrong Typography doing overnight numbers. If tumblr had been an algorithmicly-powered website, like Twitter was at the time, I would never have had more than 3 notes on this post. Which brings up another important point. The industry standards are obsessed with “new” content. Things that were created in the past week. TikTok is a decent example of how algorithms suck eggs: the site has been around for, what, 5 years now? But all the content that was created even last month has been pushed down to oblivion. TikTok has convinced its users that there has never been a “before”, there is only “now”. If tumblr had implemented a similar system, my hastily-assembled EA Nasir meme would have never seen more than 2 notes either; it took a year and a half for that post to catch on, and now it’s got almost 24,000 notes. This would not have happened under an algorithm.

Then, we have the people who migrated here from Twitter and Reddit, who were so accustomed to seeing algorithmicly-elevated dreck constantly funnelled onto their timelines/feeds/dashes that it was a refreshing change to find a website where that doesn’t happen. You mentioned search-engine optimising, which is about the biggest, reddest flag you could have flown because SEO exists to be manipulated. Before Google turned into an puddle of grey goo, its search function operated by PageRank, which looked at traffic and nothing else. What you are proposing here is to impose a PageRank-like algorithm to elevate posts. How long do you think it will take before someone figures out how to turn your system inside out to put antisemitic, racist evangelism onto everyone’s dashboards? Because that’s the industry standard; SEO marketers get paid loads of money by the Heritage Foundation, the Vatican, and the United States republican party to put their prolefeed in front of as many eyes as possible.

What you’ve outlined here is a plan to turn tumblr into the next Twitter. That isn’t a good sign. You need money? Fine. So do I. We’re both going to find other ways of making money that don’t corrupt our standards or alienate anyone.

Tumblr’s Core Product Strategy

Here at Tumblr, we’ve been working hard on reorganizing how we work in a bid to gain more users. A larger user base means a more sustainable company, and means we get to stick around and do this thing with you all a bit longer. What follows is the strategy we're using to accomplish the goal of user growth. The @labs group has published a bit already, but this is bigger. We’re publishing it publicly for the first time, in an effort to work more transparently with all of you in the Tumblr community. This strategy provides guidance amid limited resources, allowing our teams to focus on specific key areas to ensure Tumblr’s future.

The Diagnosis

In order for Tumblr to grow, we need to fix the core experience that makes Tumblr a useful place for users. The underlying problem is that Tumblr is not easy to use. Historically, we have expected users to curate their feeds and lean into curating their experience. But this expectation introduces friction to the user experience and only serves a small portion of our audience. 

Tumblr’s competitive advantage lies in its unique content and vibrant communities. As the forerunner of internet culture, Tumblr encompasses a wide range of interests, such as entertainment, art, gaming, fandom, fashion, and music. People come to Tumblr to immerse themselves in this culture, making it essential for us to ensure a seamless connection between people and content. 

To guarantee Tumblr’s continued success, we’ve got to prioritize fostering that seamless connection between people and content. This involves attracting and retaining new users and creators, nurturing their growth, and encouraging frequent engagement with the platform.

Our Guiding Principles

To enhance Tumblr’s usability, we must address these core guiding principles.

Expand the ways new users can discover and sign up for Tumblr.

Provide high-quality content with every app launch.

Facilitate easier user participation in conversations.

Retain and grow our creator base.

Create patterns that encourage users to keep returning to Tumblr.

Improve the platform’s performance, stability, and quality.

Below is a deep dive into each of these principles.

Principle 1: Expand the ways new users can discover and sign up for Tumblr.

Tumblr has a “top of the funnel” issue in converting non-users into engaged logged-in users. We also have not invested in industry standard SEO practices to ensure a robust top of the funnel. The referral traffic that we do get from external sources is dispersed across different pages with inconsistent user experiences, which results in a missed opportunity to convert these users into regular Tumblr users. For example, users from search engines often land on pages within the blog network and blog view—where there isn’t much of a reason to sign up. 

We need to experiment with logged-out tumblr.com to ensure we are capturing the highest potential conversion rate for visitors into sign-ups and log-ins. We might want to explore showing the potential future user the full breadth of content that Tumblr has to offer on our logged-out pages. We want people to be able to easily understand the potential behind Tumblr without having to navigate multiple tabs and pages to figure it out. Our current logged-out explore page does very little to help users understand “what is Tumblr.” which is a missed opportunity to get people excited about joining the site.

Actions & Next Steps

Improving Tumblr’s search engine optimization (SEO) practices to be in line with industry standards.

Experiment with logged out tumblr.com to achieve the highest conversion rate for sign-ups and log-ins, explore ways for visitors to “get” Tumblr and entice them to sign up.

Principle 2: Provide high-quality content with every app launch.

We need to ensure the highest quality user experience by presenting fresh and relevant content tailored to the user’s diverse interests during each session. If the user has a bad content experience, the fault lies with the product.

The default position should always be that the user does not know how to navigate the application. Additionally, we need to ensure that when people search for content related to their interests, it is easily accessible without any confusing limitations or unexpected roadblocks in their journey.

Being a 15-year-old brand is tough because the brand carries the baggage of a person’s preconceived impressions of Tumblr. On average, a user only sees 25 posts per session, so the first 25 posts have to convey the value of Tumblr: it is a vibrant community with lots of untapped potential. We never want to leave the user believing that Tumblr is a place that is stale and not relevant. 

Actions & Next Steps

Deliver great content each time the app is opened.

Make it easier for users to understand where the vibrant communities on Tumblr are. 

Improve our algorithmic ranking capabilities across all feeds. 

Principle 3: Facilitate easier user participation in conversations.

Part of Tumblr’s charm lies in its capacity to showcase the evolution of conversations and the clever remarks found within reblog chains and replies. Engaging in these discussions should be enjoyable and effortless.

Unfortunately, the current way that conversations work on Tumblr across replies and reblogs is confusing for new users. The limitations around engaging with individual reblogs, replies only applying to the original post, and the inability to easily follow threaded conversations make it difficult for users to join the conversation.

Actions & Next Steps

Address the confusion within replies and reblogs.

Improve the conversational posting features around replies and reblogs. 

Allow engagements on individual replies and reblogs.

Make it easier for users to follow the various conversation paths within a reblog thread. 

Remove clutter in the conversation by collapsing reblog threads. 

Explore the feasibility of removing duplicate reblogs within a user’s Following feed. 

Principle 4: Retain and grow our creator base.

Creators are essential to the Tumblr community. However, we haven’t always had a consistent and coordinated effort around retaining, nurturing, and growing our creator base.  

Being a new creator on Tumblr can be intimidating, with a high likelihood of leaving or disappointment upon sharing creations without receiving engagement or feedback. We need to ensure that we have the expected creator tools and foster the rewarding feedback loops that keep creators around and enable them to thrive.

The lack of feedback stems from the outdated decision to only show content from followed blogs on the main dashboard feed (“Following”), perpetuating a cycle where popular blogs continue to gain more visibility at the expense of helping new creators. To address this, we need to prioritize supporting and nurturing the growth of new creators on the platform.

It is also imperative that creators, like everyone on Tumblr, feel safe and in control of their experience. Whether it be an ask from the community or engagement on a post, being successful on Tumblr should never feel like a punishing experience.

Actions & Next Steps

Get creators’ new content in front of people who are interested in it. 

Improve the feedback loop for creators, incentivizing them to continue posting.

Build mechanisms to protect creators from being spammed by notifications when they go viral.

Expand ways to co-create content, such as by adding the capability to embed Tumblr links in posts.

Principle 5: Create patterns that encourage users to keep returning to Tumblr.

Push notifications and emails are essential tools to increase user engagement, improve user retention, and facilitate content discovery. Our strategy of reaching out to you, the user, should be well-coordinated across product, commercial, and marketing teams.

Our messaging strategy needs to be personalized and adapt to a user’s shifting interests. Our messages should keep users in the know on the latest activity in their community, as well as keeping Tumblr top of mind as the place to go for witty takes and remixes of the latest shows and real-life events.  

Most importantly, our messages should be thoughtful and should never come across as spammy.  

Actions & Next Steps

Conduct an audit of our messaging strategy.

Address the issue of notifications getting too noisy; throttle, collapse or mute notifications where necessary.  

Identify opportunities for personalization within our email messages. 

Test what the right daily push notification limit is. 

Send emails when a user has push notifications switched off.

Principle 6: Performance, stability and quality.

The stability and performance of our mobile apps have declined. There is a large backlog of production issues, with more bugs created than resolved over the last 300 days. If this continues, roughly one new unresolved production issue will be created every two days. Apps and backend systems that work well and don't crash are the foundation of a great Tumblr experience. Improving performance, stability, and quality will help us achieve sustainable operations for Tumblr.

Improve performance and stability: deliver crash-free, responsive, and fast-loading apps on Android, iOS, and web.

Improve quality: deliver the highest quality Tumblr experience to our users. 

Move faster: provide APIs and services to unblock core product initiatives and launch new features coming out of Labs.

Conclusion

Our mission has always been to empower the world’s creators. We are wholly committed to ensuring Tumblr evolves in a way that supports our current users while improving areas that attract new creators, artists, and users. You deserve a digital home that works for you. You deserve the best tools and features to connect with your communities on a platform that prioritizes the easy discoverability of high-quality content. This is an invigorating time for Tumblr, and we couldn’t be more excited about our current strategy.

I feel like the only non-zionist jew sometimes. Like i come on tumblr and see anti-zionist posts from jewish people and in my logical brain i KNOW im not the only one. But tumblr is basically the ether. Its hammerspace. I know i can just reach behind my back and pull out an essay written by a non zionist jew. The problem is this whole deal in gaza and the west bank has under mined jews' mindset of "we take care of our own". Because we're not taking care of our own. My whole synagogue is full of zionists so i had to stop going. I have been ABANDONED by the jewish community because i think israel should stop killing innocent people.

Moreover that somehow makes me an antisemite? Starbucks feminists and other gentiles think they can tell me that im practising judaism wrong. Its gotten to the point i hear a jew say "we take care of our community" (as in the jewish community) and i know theyre a zionist. And the thing that is the most frustrating is that Palestinians arent the problem. The IOF is the problem. Netanyahu is the problem. Biden is the problem. Trump is the problem. People eating from the prolefeed trough without doing any sort of critical thinking are the problem.

Out of a congregation of 75 somehow there is only 1 non-zionist and im it.
