Date: July 18th, 2026 1:01 AM Author: brainrot slop factory (Poasting Fades) High drive, low skill. That's what this country rewards. Stupid people with incredible discipline. That's how you end up in a culture where Beast Games is the biggest show in world history and no one has made a good movie since 1977. You used to have to be clever and hard working. You used to have to be really ingenious to dazzle. Now people will eat up anything as long as there's a lot of it. Quantity has kicked the shit out of quality.

Date: July 18th, 2026 1:18 AM Author: brainrot slop factory (Poasting Fades) Bring on the hordes of low IQ retarded people. Bring on the chinks and the nogs. Forget The Last of the Mohicans. Forget our culture and where we come from. Let everybody in. Make films for chinks. And while you're at it give everyone a diploma. It should be really easy to go into debt 200k for a worthless degree. Just fuck everyone, fuck everything. Americans should be as dumb and useless and as indebted as possible. Everyone should be a retard with no agency, deracinated, enslaved, consuming slop, as long as some Boomer on Maui can expand his estate by 1000 sq ft that's what counts. Fuck the next generation. I hope no one ever pushes back against this. God bless you sir and God bless the technocratic mercantile zone of America! Porn and weed forever!

Date: July 18th, 2026 1:14 AM Author: brainrot slop factory (Poasting Fades) You are right over the bombsight, friend. This is exactly why proles love shit like Costco. Or why the Queen of Versailles lady thought being rich meant you can buy anything in a Wal-Mart. This is prole mentality. More is always good, more is better. We can't maximize profits if we don't have thousands of hours of content to pitch you in aggregate. Everything is about volume, not unique individual experiences. In an article on the recent book on Spotifycore slop music they interview Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point Never. The article ends with a quote that maybe the best song he's ever heard was something he only wanted to hear once. You can't monetize e.g. Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. It could be the greatest thing ever made but most people would only want to sit through it a couple of times. But you can make a never-ending playlist of Spotifycore ambient slop that will play on a loop at the doctor's office and in shopping malls. That there's money in. There's no money in real genius. It's like The Transported Man. The trick is so good that no one realizes how good it is. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50007826) |

Date: July 18th, 2026 1:24 AM Author: Basque man, US citizen Streaming is getting bigger but the cream is not rising to the top The biggest names in it are all slopmerchants, Mr. Beast, Kai Cenat, iShowSpeed, whatever. There are good streamers out there but they're usually not sanitized enough for Amazoid sponsorships and have more niche followings |
|
Date: July 18th, 2026 1:41 AM Author: brainrot slop factory (Poasting Fades) I think part of the problem with streaming is that it is inherently geared towards slop. So the type of people looking for a different experience just avoid it entirely. And the type of consumer who will watch slop all day is already there, so they just cater to those people. There's no economic incentive to make a masterpiece. The only people who can do it are people like Nolan who have the talent and cachet to do big spectacle well. But it's sort of only one flavor of what's possible. A lot of the great directors of yore who put art above all else would not be able to thrive in this economy. You couldn't make 2001 A Space Odyssey today because it just wouldn't make enough money to be viable. This is why all the indie stuff is ultra low budget and the actors admit they only make these for the fun of it. A lot of indie directors use their own money and are broke even when they make big hits. There's no incentive to make something great when you can make stuff that's profitable. In the 20th Century there were a lot more structures in place for studios to take big risks and reap big rewards. Now it's zero risk big rewards. Any business student could tell you to take zero risk. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50007847) |

Date: July 18th, 2026 12:34 PM Author: Richard Ames Things went off the rails when we stopped needing to measure discrete output by its individual results. Eg) ratings for an episode of a TV show, DVD sales. When all that matters is subscriber count and there are effectively only three true streaming platforms (Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max or whatever they call it now) and a bunch of also rans, then the content itself is less relevant and it’s more about volume of shit. And a ton of garbage has been laundered onto these platforms that could never survive if individual ratings and view counts mattered. It’s a disaster for quality.
I am more and more thankful each day for the sheer volume of novels that exist that were published before ~2008. There is effectively endless quality content if you go the book route. Even movies and TV, there are so many older ones you can watch and enjoy.
Obviously this doesn’t fix the societal problems, but I’m not sure there is a fix save for nuclear bombs going off in the atmosphere and taking electronics offline. Lmao |

I don't see why you're still butthurt about this and bringing it up on random threads. A critic needing to have experienced the art he's criticizing for that criticism to have any legitimacy is self-evident. |
|
Date: July 18th, 2026 1:45 PM Author: Richard Ames It is self-evident to you because you have made yourself arbiter (in your mind) of what is legitimate. Whereas a normal person would see the cover of such a book and think "this is trash and the people who published it should be in prison."
And anyone arguing "well um ackshually you need to read it to have a *legitimate* point of view" while scratching their beard and huffing their own flatulence can be objectively viewed as a retard with no power of inference or multi-order thinking.
People(?) with your mindset are the reason something like Piss Christ gets displayed in major museums and treated with any seriousness. |

|
Date: July 18th, 2026 1:53 PM Author: brainrot slop factory (Poasting Fades) I'll split the difference and say you both have a point. Many people even myself rush to judgment about art before they've experienced it. I've done it many times and then the actual piece of art was different than I expected. I've been way off about what something was a million times.
At the same time I don't think there's anything wrong with dismissing something out of hand just because it offends you prima facie. I think you're entitled to just go yeah this sucks and it's not for me. But the woke politics and the trailer probably doesn't encapsulate the whole film. I'm sure there are parts of it that are great just because it's Nolan. He's pretty good at what he does. There's no way this guy would roll out a complete dud of a film. His reputation is immaculate. |
|
Date: July 18th, 2026 2:01 PM Author: gunnerretttired (gunneratttt) I never said the second paragraph and said so explictly in that thread. Of course people can decide they likely won't like something because of things they infer from casting, trailers, reviews, etc.
I didn't watch Velma because it looks like wokeslop. If someone asked me what I thought about Velma I'd say "I didn't watch because it looks like wokeslop." But if I wanted to write a review criticizing Velma for being woke slop I'd have to suffer through it. How is this hard to understand? |

Date: July 18th, 2026 2:08 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, It is interesting how counterintuitive is all is. You would think people would prefer 1 good podcast episode a week, or a TikToker who who makes a couple of good reels a week.
Instead in order to make it big you need to post like 10+ hours of "content" a week.
Joe Rogan is a fascinating example. I'm sure most of his interviews are interesting with the random guests, but I can't dedicate 9 hours of my life to it. |

Date: July 18th, 2026 2:13 PM Author: Richard Ames The issue really is the algorithm which makes me question the motives of the (((people))) behind it.
I had thought that younger creative people might just start making TV shows and uploading them to YouTube on a regular cadence (the tech makes show production possible), but unless you are constantly posting shit, you just get hidden.
Funny enough, I think someone like Mr. Beast is well positioned to actually produce/finance high quality programs and back them on YouTube. He could drive eyeballs and sponsors to quality content that would be cheap enough to produce. Of course, this would require him to be a radically different person so it isn't going to happen. |

Date: July 18th, 2026 2:18 PM Author: brainrot slop factory (Poasting Fades) This is a very good point. I feel like if someone made Led Zeppelin IV today it would get 20,000 views and then the world would move on. But some guy making vertical TikToks singing badly about a political theme would skyrocket to fame. The algorithm doesn't account for quality. It accounts for what keeps you on the platform endlessly. If a million people watch something once it's not as good as 1000 people scrolling 1000 videos. This goes to the subscription model where you just reward the creators who keep people on the platform the longest. It's about what makes the company happy, not what rewards the consumer. If you drop a whole album in one go no one will ever listen to it. But if you divide it into 15 singles and you spam promote a dozen lip sync videos per day one has a chance of going viral. As long as chicks in bikinis can dance to it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883806&forum_id=2#50008386) |
