Anything showing off opulence. Having more money (or less control against impulse spending) doesn't make you better in any form. But it's a lifestyle that sells and rakes in tons of money for the vain and stupid

STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT!

Skillfully

Cheaper than having real products and trying to sell them, I guess

Jesus Christ, Denton!

Nyet, comrade, glorious mother russia is on a winning streak! Putin said so! So much winning in 4 years of ~~war~~ SPECIAL OPERATIONS, just like the USA in Iran!

I wish it was him alone, would be so much easier. This blame goes at least to all other big tech companies

Kinda ironic that russian and iranian sites are the ones most likely to survive current purges. No wonder they're almost impossible to find when using most western search engines

qbitorrent's built in search, my dearest

also yandex search, from russia, with love

Except when the artists use slop to pretend to be actual artists and used bots to farm listens on their totally real tracks, then spotify thinks it's very bad

From september 2025 - https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/spotify-cracks-down-on-ai-slop-these-are-the-changes-youll-see/

A new spam filtering system: Since Spotify offers payouts to artists based on how often users play a song, scammers are trying to take advantage. The company explained that spam tactics like "mass uploads, duplicates, SEO hacks, artificially short track abuse, and other forms of slop" are easier to produce than ever with AI. Not only does this dilute the royalty pool for real artists, but it also reduces attention for those artists.

They claim that over the last year, they’ve removed 75 million songs engaging in what they call “spam tactics”: people mass-uploading generic nonsense; the same songs uploaded twice or thrice; cheats to hijack the SEO (like stuffing keywords in titles to get algorithmically surfaced easier); and “artificially short track abuse,” which is when people split up longer songs into short segments to rack up royalties.

I really wish people would see past the nanometer thick veneer of shiny that FIFA and every big team puts on, hiding their extreme corruption and bad habit coverups.

Football (suck it, USA) has so much money being thrown at it from all sides that it's no wonder it has some of the worst institutions running the show. Yet a LOT of people will still go out of their way to "support" the team, despite being too fucking poor for said team's own tastes.

As a Brazilian, I can relate
