Something that is mentioned in this article that I meant to comment on and then went to eat breakfast: Prime wants content that brings new subs. So their entire TV model is (by their reports) "if this TV show appeals heavily to our existing audience, it is worthless" Not sure that's great?!?

@johnrogers.bsky.social has written infinity threads about how completely they broke TV, but every time I remember that we're now being held hostage to strategies this fucking counter to the creation of art people want to see, I want to lay face down in the mud for 1000 years.

Sadly the mud is now all subscription-based, but if you sign up to Mud+ With Dolby Surround Sound (With Ads) at just $24.99/mo you at least get to hear the bubbles and gurgles from all corners of the room.

I saw this out of context and thought you meant multi user dungeon and it still made sense/was bleak.

In that case, best not to examine the bubbles and gurgles too closely...
