"In the twilight of bourgeois decadence, even the most trivial ornaments of culture shall be seized by the ruling class, for in latestage capitalism the elites will weaponize every spectacle - yes, even the egirls - to distract the proletariat from its chains." - Karl Marx

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 44 points 6 days ago (3 children)

The worst part about this is that if Karl Marx was alive today he would 100 percent be posting shit like this online. You cannot convince me that Karl Marx wasn't the 1800s equivalent of that dude giving indepth historical economic overviews to his team in CSGO.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

He's probably going to be a twitch streamer if he's alive now.

Weird to think that there is some percentage of this world that still goes to BestBuy, GameStop, and watches ads on TV and that its big enough to be worth marketing to.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 94 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I’m often surprised when I hear how other people live. Conversation at work will go like:

Employee A: “Youtube ads are getting ridiculous.”

Me: “You still see Youtube ads?”

Employee B: “Yeah, just get Youtube Premium. Such a smart investment.”

Me: “Wait, what?!

Several of my millennial friends have cable TV and Tivo or something just because they are creatures of habit and are too tired from raising kids to consider changing their process. Weirdly, my boomer parents are the most tech savvy media consumers I know. They just have terrible taste.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 41 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (9 children)

This is one of those things that I go against the Lemmy hivemind on. I cut out pretty much every streaming service and sail the high seas for most of my media.But I consider YouTube Premium worth the cost.

I got grandfathered into it when Google Music shut down and I really haven't felt the need to change anything. YouTube music is better than Spotify. I don't have to constantly play the whack-a-mole game of ad blockers that will inevitably break during a YouTube update. I don't have to rely on finicky software to get videos to play in the background with my phone screen off.

Look, I get it. All these features used to be offered for free without ads. I think that more than anything is why people are so rabidly against premium, because they feel like they had that stuff stolen from them. But YouTube is a service, not a right. You were never guaranteed those features permanently. The cost of Premium is miniscule compared to the benefits I get from it. I use YouTube a LOT. Weather for how to videos, or ASMR, or background music, or documentaries, or podcasts. I like knowing that no matter where I use it, from my computer to my phone to the random smart TV in a hotel that I cast to, I'm not going to see any ads.

All this is based on the current services offered at the current price. If and when they start making those services shittier or increase the cost, then I will seek alternatives; but not before.

EDIT: I love all the many replies going "Yea but you could just use this program combined with this plugin on your locally hosted server. Just use these 3 different pieces of software. Have you tried Squootle? Just use Squootle and SEvR, bro. If you use Squootle you can download the video, recompress it, and play it from any desktop running Windows 7."

Man I just use ublock on Firefox, it works on all my devices including my phone, and I've never once had to play with it

To be honest I just don’t want google to get more money. They suck.

Also your use case is very specific. The people I was referencing have more basic needs that would be easily bypassed with ublock. It’s fine if the way you like to listen to music is best served by youtube with a subscription.

I haven't been to Best Buy since I caught them jacking the prices on laptops for boxing day 'sales'... that was 10-15 years ago

haven't been to GameStop in about the same timeframe when I stopped sinking money into consoles because they were/are more expensive then pc gaming in the long run.

also haven't turned my 65inch tv on in about 2 years. it's all streaming on my desktop with pihole so clean watching.

Retail doesn't pay much, she's probably just got 2 jobs.

maybe it doesn't pay much, but hey, at least it drains your soul

Was she wearing the Best Buy shirt or the Gamestop shirt?

Dutch beer brand Amstel had a long running commercial campaign that featured 3 friends enjoying their beer.
After that campaign ended, competitor Bavaria hired two of three actors and made a commercial with them enjoying a nice holiday and having them say Bavaria's tag line "Zo, nu eerst een Bavaria" (And now finally a Bavaria).

Speaking of beer commercials, who can forget an old classic https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1hYEKXE-4d0

Look im glad she's getting a paycheck but why do people give these 2 soulless companies free marketing by falling for this fabricated rivalry.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 28 points 6 days ago (3 children)

For the same reason it's posted here and you're commenting on it.

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hey I already jacked of to the best buy commercial, I've done my duty. Now it's your turn.

This reminds me of when the "can you hear me now?" guy from Verizon moved to Sprint, I think it was. How about them Epstein files though?

I'm sorry but who is she for me and others that don't live in a*erica because I have no clue who she is

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 52 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I live in the US and have no idea who this is because I avoid ads like the plague

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

Pihole and ublock origin for the absolute win

[–] YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 34 points 6 days ago (5 children)

I'm guessing a fairly stereotypical cute gamer girl/nerd wet dream. The kind that gets a certain type of man autistically erect. Source: my colleagues in IT

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (8 children)

But she's obviously a lesbian. Source: I know too many

It's actually a cinematic trope, manic pixie dream girl. Basically the male version of dating a "dream girl"

This is much better.

Whatever Best Buy used as a filter to enlarge her eyes creeps me out. At least the Game Stop version looks like an actual person

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago (6 children)

It's not a filter. She had an eye embiggening.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't know, they look like perfectly cromulent eyes.

All of her facial features are a bit bigger on the left, like her nose. I wonder if it's a focal length thing like this dude?

Look at the size of her face overall on the left, and the size on the right. Now look at where her eyebrows are on the left and where they are on the right. The camera on the left is slightly closer, her makeup is different, and her eyes are open wider. I don't think it's a filter.

An actress. You shouldn't care.

I’m trying to figure out what the next level of progression is… Netflix?

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The light side progression is Micro Center and the dark side progression is Linus Tech Tips.
