Did a thing where Bluesky's media gallery collapses down into individual images/videos. Upside is better visibility and navigation. Downside is there is no mechanism to distinguish posts from the author and from whoever they're responding to.

Screenshot of the "Media" tab on my profile. The posts have all the text and engagement elements stripped out, and all that can be seen are the images and videos, arranged in a 3-wide grid.Screenshot of the "Media" tab on my profile.

If AI is unavoidable, how come I've been avoiding it so well with no downsides or issues? If I'm being left behind, how come they still insist that I use the plagiarism machine to replace myself? Surely this fearmongering is based on statistics and not vibes... right??

Impressive! In the year of our Lord 2026, there are still programs that will open an unskippable update window right when you're opening them. It's fine, I just wanted to look at the software updater, not like I needed to use it right now or anything :D

Secondary issue that warded me from YouTube channels: treating the audience like ignorant inattentive blobs. Like saying "since half of you aren't paying attention I'll just summarize it" or "I'll add some Subway Surfers in this section". STATING you have no faith in your audience is... a choice??

I wish YouTubers would understand that STARTING the video with "before we dive into it, don't forget to like and subscribe" is the FASTEST way to get me to leave. "80% of viewers are not subscribed"? Maybe they would if you put all this effort into the subject matter of the video, just a thought 🥴

So I left the MechaHitler hellscape site for Bluesky, yet all I hear about in here is stuff going on over there... Babes, if y'all wanna argue that you "need" the AI Slop Machine platform, or ways to continue using it like it makes a difference... kindly do it over there or shut it. Thank you ☺️
