I don't watch these, but they make a lot of sense. I've watched movies sometimes and been disappointed that there are no similar movies for me to watch. If you like a generic Hallmark movie you'll have infinite content.

If you're a dog and like "eating anything on the ground", you'll never go hungry

This is what bland, AI generated crap looks like, folks. But you can still make your own entertainment library. Buy an external hard drive and start a collection of your favorite movies/series (while you still can).

Damn, if in one movie he'd wear red and she green that would be a revolution I guess.

I assume this was the same for the Harlequin Romance Novels too? I knew a few women over the years that had a bunch of these books. They seemed to digest them like monthly magazines.

In some ways it's sort of a business dream to be able to keep repacking the same nuts and bolts to make something slightly different for consumers who will keep paying. It's pretty efficient.

Still I've not read a Harlequin Romance nor have I seen a Hallmark movie. This doesn't mean I've not seen all of the Star Wars movies or a good majority of the Marvel ones.

Madden. FIFA. Call of Duty.

At this point, Ubisoft and Bethesda games can be thrown in too.

LitRPGs are like that, too.

Swing sword. Cast spell. Numbers go up. Defeat dragon. Complete quest. Numbers go up. Dungeon dive. Cool loot. Numbers go up.

I love them. I've read four this week.

Those who love this kitschy schlock think it's innovative.

Pop and stadium country are no different.

I've never heard someone say they wanted to listen to pop or stadium country music because it's innovative. In fact, a hasty and anecdotal surveying of friends and neighbors says that they listen to the music because it's easy to listen to (ie unchallenging).

Yeah they want a familiar sound they are accustomed to. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Sometimes I’ll go to a fast food chain because I know exactly what to expect and I don’t have to think about it too much.

Where's the Will Ferrell and Deadpool one?

[–] Phanatik@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I love that Deadpool has replaced Ryan Reynolds because that's basically who he is in public, all to manage his crippling anxiety.

these are targeted at boomers who are already programmed to feel guilty about about any decision that effects profit margins.
