Being corrected on a German industry norm, how does that feel? A little ironic, maybe?

Also imagine paying a creator of the media that you consume and not a platform which scams an agency which scams the creator.
How horrible…
Honestly people are fucking weird. What is wrong with actually supporting the creator?
I want to help you understand the situation and why people say what they say. Then you can better judge the situation for yourself and make your own decisions.
Situation “your own house”: You want to buy a house but you don’t have the money because… Wtf is the housing market??? 100k for a cardboard box??? So you lent money from your bank to pay for the house. With interest, you pay maybe e.g. 70% more than what you lent. And it takes you 30 years to do so. You might lose your job and have to save a little extra to cover those times and maybe the bank let’s you miss a payment once. After 30 years, you have now a house that needs some repairs but you got more money in your wallet because you are done paying the bank. So you do some repairs and it cost you money, maybe you need a small loan again. Eventually, you are retired and you have less money but you don’t have to repair your house anymore. Sure, there are some issues but the heater will manage another 10 years. You don’t have to worry too much because you don’t have to maintain it after your death. You don’t need to save for a new roof in 5 years when you are 95yo. You can make the call that you don’t care.
So in other words, you pay a little less than 70% more than the value of the house and afterwards you paid for YOUR UTILITY. Every repair was between you and future you.
Situation “I rent to you”: I am buying the house and of course, I am lent the money as it is financially easier and in some places, gives me tax cuts. I buy a house and I too pay 70% interest on it. I need to get the money to pay for my loan. I am not a asshole but also not a saint. So what is pretty fair? Mhm… You, as my renter, pay my loan back! If i ask less, I am literally losing money. But wait, you might move out at any time and I need to pay my loan, so I am asking a little extra… Just in case. But then there are repairs and someone needs to pay for those, so maybe a little extra. Okay now, you are paying for everything! I am safe and sound. After 30 years, you paid back my loan and I own the place. I am getting old and I let my son take care of the business. He takes good care of the house and makes sure that all the repairs are done. He is earning so extra money too as well the loan is paid back. He is looking for a new house for all his children and a big nice garden. With his day job and your rent, his bank gives him a big amount of money that he spends on a beautiful house, he gets the house as he has the cash. You are getting older and you retire, but your rent is not going down. If you could have bought the house 50 years ago, it would have been yours, but it isn’t and you are paying the new loan of my son. The heater could use a replacement in the next 10 years but you really don’t have the money for that but it isn’t your decision, my son wants to rent out the house another 50years if possible. My son feels forced to look for a new renter as you don’t have the money to pay for the new loan and the repairs. He kicks you out. You are homeless. You pay off the loan and some of another loan but you are homeless.
Now that story wasn’t even about actively trying to make money but not wanting to take a risk for someone else.
Most landlords want to make some money.
Honestly I don’t get the OF hate in general. We all have watched porn and we probably liked at least some of what we have seen. What is wrong about earning a living with producing what other people want and like? And as I don’t think, we argue about people consuming porn but about paying for it, what the fuck is wrong with paying the content creator? Why do we prefer paying agencies with ad revenue while the agency effectively scams their talent? Why no ads but cash? Why agency and not talent?
Jealousy.
I don’t know, I kinda like the implication that Nazis aren’t homo sapiens. And while being “homo” is certainly not bad, something tells me that Nazis wouldn’t enjoy being called a “Homo Nazi”.
Facebook be like: “don’t worry! I will not print off your COMPUTER! it will be the printer muhahahahaa”
Honestly I don’t think anyone who is happy with their sex life is invested in how other people’s sex life is.
Looking at the homophobic crowd.
Great meme. Good protest.
Musk’s PISS. I mean LLM or Ai.
PISS is the correct term though. If you want to read up on PISS
I was told by a producer and seller, that they would keep the animal hostage for only a few months and would let them free afterwards.
What I heard, was “we force feed them coffee for a few months, let them free in a somewhat controlled environment and setup traps to catch them again and abuse them again for a few months”
I am not sure if I believe them about letting them free at all.
I don’t see the issue with people letting the outgroup do stuff that they wouldn’t let the ingroup do. It makes sense that you punish or lecture the ingroup about the negative effects of a behavior and it makes sense to surrender on here to educate the outgroup.
The people who joked about violence but are now against it, those people are funny.
LLM? No, PISS, it is called
I would never use those services. There is nothing wrong in offering them but I think there is something abusive in accepting the offer. Surely some people do it 100% because they love the work but I am fairly certain that most don’t. And those who don’t, won’t tell you that they don’t. So if you accept the service, you might abuse someone’s desperation.
What first party solved the issue with PayPal? I literally want to see it burn but I don’t have an alternative.
There are people called Sam and not Samantha. There are Matts that aren’t Matthews. There are Joes that aren’t Joseph.
Maybe don’t be a Richard?
Don’t know what idea I like more,
I can’t choose
That is the fun stuff. They don’t. That is the lie.
If the USA and EU decides that the rich has the pay taxes then where do the rich go? They go to XYZ country, you might think but they don’t. Their business is in the US and the EU and their wealth is. They can slowly move their business and wealth… But they can’t move their market, which is where? USA and EU.
Also e.g. The old money in Germany will never leave Germany. Due to privacy laws and the safety that they live in, they remember the RAF and they are thankful for the privacy and safety.
It is a lie that they tell you. They don’t leave.
Edit: in case, someone is wondering what I think is a motivator for them. Comfort.
If it is an official act, which would mean they would have to assassinate you in their function of being the president. In other words, they couldn’t just kill their neighbors.
They could probably kill them as part of a celebration, I guess. Jk, I hope.
He is saying it now because that “turns” the documentary from “supporters” into a documentary from “critics”. That helps sales. And now the news coverage is pulling attention to it again and of course, that is good for the sales/views.
So I disagree about the stopping to make money with him part, he is milking the other side now.
