It’s been a lot of years since high school English, but Juliet Capulet was of the Italian family Capulet in the 1590s.
There is some detail in the references of the Capulet family to real world factions of the time. But both those arguing for and against this casting don’t care about any of that.
Freebooting of news article is distinctly what this is about. Content creators losing clicks, impressions, and ad revenue due to Metas methodology.
People can have a whinge “it’s news corp so fugg them” but just because something hurts something you don’t like doesn’t make it okay.
This. Freebooting is a huge issue and Meta made it a big thing and profits from it.
A video or image goes viral. Creator has it on a platform where they can monetise or benefit from the views. Some chucklefugg at a content network like ladbible takes it, strips watermarks and logos, posts it on their own Facebook page. Facebook makes money off the adverts on that page.
Original creator is deprived of clicks, and likely revenue, dutifully completes a DMCA on their stolen content. Maybe a day or two later Meta takes it down. They don’t care, they still made money. Ladbible got a few thousand more subscribers to make impressions on their promoted posts, which nets then more money. The virality of the content has passed, the original creator doesn’t even get 1% of the same clicks and even less credit for their work.
Now multiply the number of content networks by about 500. Some of whom are fully automated with no human intervention.
This is not okay, and Meta should be held to task for creating a financial incentive for people to do this.
You can call it what you want. But Lemmy does not represent the general populace. Or Reddit. Or Twitter/X. Or Facebook.
This isn’t a real place. And it gets tiresome decade after decade seeing people shocked_pikachhu.jpeg when it turns out their online communities of choice aren’t the majority opinion.
In niche online communities, yes. Among the general population, no.

I’m not saying you are right or wrong, but if we suspend voting for ~1/3rd of our adult population, then what we are practicing is no longer a democracy.
Careful, speak against the “Electric Rocket Man Bad” narrative online and your life is over :/
Do people read this headline and believe that this is a design flaw? That of all Teslas sold and driven anywhere in the entire world since they were first sold, none have ever been in rain?
There was major flooding around where this Tesla was. Idiots obviously drove it in flood water or it got submerged while parked. This is an insurance problem, not a click bait “herrrr derrrr Elon so stupid” problem.
And if they are stupid enough to not have had insurance on a brand new car, this is a “point and laugh at the idiot crying to the press” problem
I turned it off halfway through. It was completely rubbish. So bad that it’s making me want to NOT rewatch classic episodes.
If the writers on this are striking for more money, I can only hope they lose their homes to an AI. That also pleasures their wives, since at least one of them seems to have a fetish for cuckoldry.
And retconned that Robot Santa’s standards for naughty and nice were too high, just now makes him think naughty is nice and nice is naughty. And also the cookie monster for some stupid reason.
This episode really blew
As it should be. Hybrid is the correct answer. Not full time RTO, not full time at home, Hybrid. The negotiation is in how hybrid should look, and will vary from situation to situation
