Finally watched Disney’s Strange World. I can see why it did do well at the box office. It was very reminiscent of Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World which has an old timey feel to it. It felt very dated and unrelatable.

Content moderation is also a job that is in large part outsourced overseas, and generally an entry level job that requires little to no tech expertise, and is in itself exploitative of workers that are exposed to abusive content for extremely low pay.

Hot dang this video essay hits hard, is well researched, and aligns so well with what I think ails this world.

Meta lost $77 billion on this metaverse folly. For perspective, Netflix’s winning bid for the entire Warner Bros studio and its subsidiaries, the IP, the facilities, and all those assets was $82.7 billion.
For Meta, that’s “oops, back to the drawing board” money.
