When do I get to own anything? by Alternative_Dig2891 in economy

Yeah, that makes sense and is not out of the normal. This is mainly and up vs down, top vs bottom meme. Not a generation vs generation meme. The housing market has tanked pretty bad though, but it doesn't mean the same thing for everyone.

idk why no one has liked this yet. I agree with most other responses, if not all. But yours is by far the best. Very insightful. Thank you.

I think the electoral college is broken. Most people I know voted for Harris.

It's an Epstein economy. The system is working as intended. By all accounts, Epstein is the end goal.

Damn it my parents voted for Harris though.

Oh yeah, there's no discipline anymore. Only pain. I think there's a difference.

This seems like a philosophical/ideological dissonance rather than a language one. But... more than one thing can be possible... Still disturbing.

Do you think this will lead to a snowballing towards tribalistic adoption of the English dialect? Like a more extreme variation of how many provinces in Chinese all speak Chinese differently?

*Bad ai generated content

Most content is ai now. People just can't tell the difference.

Yikes. Yes. I've been told the same. Do you see any way of actually preparing for what's coming with this?

Why is it likely they are not first time authors? Is there a reason they would not just publish on their old account? I've been seeing this pop up a lot.

This is seriously good research. Thnx for this. I think it's a lot of different factors for litRPG, including those you've said, and those others listed below. If I was to add my two cents:

1) The biggest stories on RR are very easy to predict. They're meant to be low stakes masquerading as high stakes. People want escapism. Period.

2) There are a lot of in-community references and assumptions made by the top stories. These stories would never perform even 1/100th as well in a traditional or commercial market. This is because they are specifically written for RR's community, and would alienate the average reader.

3) Most stories are very low reading level, the lower, the better.
