It took them until this year to finally start addressing rampant cheating in GTAO PC.

- Comment on A Minecraft Movie sequel discussions are already happening 4 weeks ago:
As a film, it’s bad. As a big budget YouTube Minecraft movie, it’s good.

Oh, interesting. This is the first I’ve heard of that sort of thing happening YouTube. I know other platforms have different stuff in different regions. Netflix, etc. But I didn’t consider that a show would post full stuff for just non-US regions.
Thanks for the details.

- Comment on Parents sue TikTok over child deaths allegedly caused by ‘blackout challenge’ 2 months ago:
Broadcasting, publishing with instant and far reach, etc. with the power of the algorithms to amplify. Whatever you want to label it. I only used “broadcasting” because for the 1 to many communication. Many being more than a handful of friends.
It is different from word of mouth. It is another party amplifying the behavior you are saying already existed.
That’s my point. And you just stated it. The difference is they can show the world and perpetuate the “challenge” by modeling it for thousands of others instead of just their local friends/kid in the neighborhood.
you are discounting the power of the platform algorithms to connect these kids and to amplify the appearance of this behavior as normal.

This is about broadcasting. Not word of mouth. If you can point to countless examples of broadcasting, please educate me.
