I'd like to posit that the transition started in 2012 with the rise of Gangnam Style. More than 10 years after MTV stopped showing music videos, a video for a song that was mostly sung in Korean broke the YouTube view counter and became the biggest song in the world (including the USA), based entirely on the strength of the music video. This was the norm in the '80s and '90s, but it was arguably the first time this happened in the 21st century, and represented a full transition of pop culture hitmaking to the Internet, right before streaming started to really eat cable TV.
As one of the few nu metal fans who also reads garbage day, it is good to see crazy moments in nu history get the recognition it has well deserved. Hopefully when they post about that one time Limp bizkit blew up a boat it will also go equally as viral.
Concur on you twitter/fb entry. Media companies trying to get me to pay is just onlyfans but without the porn. Good thing tumblr will always be free.
I hope your right that capitalism will be the undoing of ai. You just never know if someone will invent a much better ai tool, but i suspect at that point, the scope of potential ai uses may be smaller than what they are now.
I'm on Twitter a lot and I missed the thrifting discourse.( though I did see the "finally 18" thing which was super messed up) gonna check the spinning cat thing. I do like that garbage day has introduced me to the anime t shirt Cajun guy, the chocolate man and of course @ryanpornstar
The real fear is not that AI images will put influencers out of business, it’s that we’ll find out that our favorite influencers are just doughy middle-aged dudes hiding behind cute female avatars. No net job loss per se, just the nagging feeling among the influenced that the source of their aspirations looks less like their hot friend and more like their dad.

As soon as I saw “Cajun TikTok” I’m like oh this guy is most definitely from Lafayette 😂
