New Lightyear Trailer -- (link) - budice Apr 21, 07:34 3
- This has been a Day Zero for me since they showed any footage, and now it locked first show of that day. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 21, 07:54
- This is (pun intended) lightyears better than the previous trailer, and looks like a completely different movie. -- nm - MDH Apr 21, 07:41 1
  - Guess they finally did something to resolve the feedback of "why does this look so dark?" -- nm - MDH Apr 21, 07:41
i still have no idea what Polywork is after having signed up for it months ago -- nm - colin Apr 21, 07:31 4

  - ah. so i can talk about my side projects. it's for the serial entrepreneur. -- nm - colin Apr 21, 07:52 2
    - Not exactly, but that's certainly one demographic -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 07:53 1
      - Eg., it's also for the person who is an accountant but also knits scarves for squirrels and sells them on etsy. Not exactly a serial entrepreneur. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 07:55
Google keeps saying they need my birthday to comply with the law. Considering they have been saying this for about a year, I'm thinking it's not - sycor Apr 21, 07:21 4
- i use the same fake birthday for absolutely everything (except banking and government stuff.) It's the same one all the time so if i am ever - Andie Apr 21, 07:31 2

    - And a face. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 21, 07:33
work rant: I am trying to explain to an IT person that something they changed means I can not access something important but they deny they did... - Walt_Disney Apr 21, 07:11 1

Musk to explore potential tender offer for Twitter, has $46.5B in committed financing for potential deal -- (link*) - budice Apr 21, 06:42 10
- No he doesn’t. If he’s talking, he’s lying. Easy summation. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:36
- He literally won't be able to do that with the poison pill. - spamlet Apr 21, 06:56 5
  - He can still play the board against the shareholder base and possibly force a vote. It's the Carl Icahn approach. - Baruno Apr 21, 07:08 4
    - Maybe in theory but there's a reason a poison pill has never had to be activated* - spamlet Apr 21, 07:12 3
      - He's supposedly leveraging it with TSLA stock, which, if we wanted him to go bankrupt, is an excellent way to go about it. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 07:44 1
        
        yup, that's what Morgan Stanley will use as collateral -- nm - decline Apr 21, 08:07
      - I agree the pill will never be implemented. My point was that there are alternative approaches if he truly wants to pursue this. -- nm - Baruno Apr 21, 07:31
- hmm. It commits approx. 20B of his own money and he'll borrow the rest from Morgan Stanley - decline Apr 21, 06:51
- Marlowe to explore go fuck yourself, Musk. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 21, 06:46
- oh go away, Elon! -- nm - mud Apr 21, 06:45

SITVers: The Gauge has some good info this month on Olympic viewing and Peacock. - Inigo Apr 21, 05:53 3
- I watched it almost exclusively on Peacock thanks to Qale. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 21, 05:55 2
  - Awesome! Did you watch the "live" stuff or watch the full events with no commentating? -- (edited) - Inigo Apr 21, 06:04 1
    - We watched both and with some events I liked not having the commentary but with a few it was almost necessary to know what was going on with scoring - Krusty Apr 21, 06:40

The real reason Netflix is tanking…TikTok - Flavorize Apr 21, 05:47 28
- I've really been thinking about this lately -- about why I'm not watching NF. I feel like the content is either very young or very old or - amanda Apr 21, 06:31 5
  - Quibi was made just for you -- nm - colin Apr 21, 07:30
  - For me it's that browsing for something to watch (on any streaming service) sucks. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 21, 07:28
  - I still find more often than not when I'm browsing even stuff I'm interested in I'm like... but not right now. -- nm - Dano Apr 21, 07:06
  - I still feel like I'm scraping for decent movies across all the streaming services, and I assume it's pandemic-production related. - Max Apr 21, 06:35
  - If I can't decide on something new to watch on Netflix, I just rewatch the Taco Chronicles. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 06:32
- Younger peeps will go ahead and drop a subscription once they're done with it, something I see even STers struggle with - con_carne Apr 21, 06:24 2
  - I'm this way, but gradually coming around to the idea. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 07:50
  - we only have netflix because it's free (ish,costs $1.50/mo now) from Tmobile. I wouldn't pay for a streaming platform at this time. -- nm - colin Apr 21, 07:33
- I find it hard to believe that people interested in 90+ minute narrative content suddenly shifted their primary interest to 2 minute punchlines. - Max Apr 21, 06:21 9
  - Remember, that short content also does the trick of speaking directly to Gen Z. How many feature films or even scripted shows do that? Not many. -- (edited) - con_carne Apr 21, 06:48
  - Agreed. I can see it taking eyes away from their TV but that would also affect the other streaming services. I also have a hard time believing people - Krusty Apr 21, 06:47 3
    - It's because the long content tends to be produced by old people with old voices/concerns. There would have to be way more shows like Euphoria. -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 07:20
    - It's a bit like saying Doritos are in competition with Taco Bell. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 07:01 1
      - But the Doritos are made by young people for young people and the old people making the Taco Bell are wondering why the young don't like it. -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 07:11
  - This was the concept behind Quibi and we see how that worked out - Reagen Apr 21, 06:28 3
    - Quibi was idiotic because it was a paid sub that had ads and somehow, *GASP*, people didn't actively want that. - Shaun Apr 21, 06:49 2
      - It was short content produced by old people. That's like when Caucasians try to cook Mexican food -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 06:52 1
        
        You just hurt Rick Bayless's feelings. -- nm - Baruno Apr 21, 06:54
- That's just theorycrafting. Losing subscribers doesn't mean people watch Netflix less. - Inigo Apr 21, 05:56 1
  - Gen Z Tik Toks during the day and Netflix at night and so forth -- (link) - con_carne Apr 21, 06:09
- My TikTok usage is 0. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 05:51 6
  - Probably not a big avocado 🥑 toast eater, either. But an entire generation is cutting Netflix for TikTok, so they can afford their avocado toast -- nm - Flavorize Apr 21, 06:22
  - Same. I think I'm too old for TikTok. I don't get it. -- nm - sycor Apr 21, 06:18 4
    - I even hate reels on IG. if I wanted to watch videos, I would go to tik tok or you tube. -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 06:22 3
      - Same. I watch the reels on FB and most of the time I feel stupider for watching - Mel Profit Apr 21, 06:35 2
        
        Mine are 95% adorable cat reels, and I'm here for them. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 21, 07:20 1
        
        I am all about the puppy reels, it's true. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 21, 07:43
