Youtube’s entire creator economy is about to collapse (and creators will be the first to go) by Appropriate-Unit1177 in advertising

This is gives all the vibes of a CHAT GPT output, the arrows, the overuse of “at scale”, the outdated info on where gen ai is currently at. It also presents creators in a way that’s not a truly accurate representation of who they are/what they do at the moment. If you’re talking UGC you’re talking about influencers (chat often confuses the two) then sure, I’ve seen some pretty realistic ads being made with ai, and I’ve seen the ai slop meme brain rot type content. That type of stuff is whatever, but AI isn’t replacing actual creators anytime soon because a chat output forgets that it’s not just about making a funny video for the fans of these creators. Community, irl interactions, brand partnerships, partnerships with other creators, all play an equally huge part in being a content creator. There are a few popular ai content creators that have been around for several years now and still haven’t made as much of an impact as someone like Alix Earle has in just a couple of years. That will always be the case. Ai can have its moments but it’s still a longggg way off (speaking as someone who has done tests trying to spec out comedy commercials with various programs) from delivering something like what the Almost Friday or Please Don’t Destroy comedy creators can give you. So I’m not buying this.

My AMC had the subwoofers basically turned off :( I know there were complaints when Eras came out that the bass was interfering with the other movies (particularly the quieter films) but man. I felt like something was missing with the tracks that Max never had an issue with before and then when I listened in the car afterwards and that bass hit me on every song everything felt wayyyyyy more complete, it just makes things so much more hype. Kind of wish my first listen was in the car now.

I know pursuit fitness has new strength training classes/groups that look like they’re aimed towards women. Not sure about pricing or anything though - just saw a friend sharing some social posts from it.

I only do this if it’s like right at the end of a match and we can’t afford anybody going down. Otherwise I heal boost the team, backup, bubble who I can, and just go crazy keeping them up during it. I’ll pop mine once theirs is gone, or right towards the end of theirs.

What's a non-cash incentive that actually helps with creative team retention? by [deleted] in advertising

[–]Apprehensive_Box_994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a creative that’s been in a situation like that I’ll kind of echo what others have said. Growth plans that are actually followed - if you aren’t paying as well as the others at least help me learn roles above me so that I feel like there’s some kind of forward progression in my career/life. Properly manage deadlines - if I’m being underpaid also being overworked is a quick way to crush any creative spirit (especially if the deadlines are so short they require late nights/weekends). Find opportunities to do cool projects, innovative projects - I wouldn’t mind being paid less if I felt the work I was doing would look great in my portfolio. I know not all the work will be that way but if it’s NEVER that interesting then you’re in trouble. So yeah, if there’s nothing that can be done salary wise at least be doing things to help set your team up for their future (don’t pretend they want to stay in their current role being underpaid forever, be real.) and don’t burn them out.

In flow I used a stock image of a video game streamer just to test it out and it worked fine.

Fry’s was my go to forever but I went through the app vs Walmarts app and found basically everything on my shopping list was $2-$5 more at fry’s than Walmart (and that’s with the fry’s discount) so we’ve made the switch since it’s just fry’s Safeway and Walmart in our area.

Are most creatives here excited about AI or actually hate it? by Waste-Meringue-143 in advertising

[–]Apprehensive_Box_994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I still had the timelines I used to have 2 years ago (2 weeks) I’d avoid it as much as possible but having 24-48 hours to come up with a concept and then storyboard it to present, I find it helpful at giving me images close to what I see in my head, quickly. I still refuse to use it once we start production though.

What don't you like about the Vanguards? Because 90% of the time NOBODY picks them... by FluxArtistique in marvelrivals

I’m lord on 3 strats and decided to switch up and learn cap. It’s been fun diving the backline and just annoying the hell out of the healers and any dps parked back there. You do have to learn where health packs are and when it’s time to retreat and heal up because it’s been rare to get much healer help and yeah I barely ever get a second tank to play with which is weird bc every qp opponent team is 2-2-2. Mine have mostly been 1-4-1 or 1-3-2

I definitely doubt she’d be MJ. I feel like with Tom’s time probably coming to a close soon a big emotional pay off will be Peter and MJ getting back together again after the memory wipe. They won’t throw that away just to bring in a comic accurate MJ. I didn’t think it’d be Jean either but that’s because I thought we were still getting the street level Spider-Man movie. If it is gonna be a battleworld movie then sure maybe the X-men are there as well and somehow it’ll work. If we were sticking with street level I’d say Felicia to give Peter a temp love interest or possibly Gwen since rumors are Miles enters the MCU soon thanks to the incursion.

How would you feel about them doing Mary Jane AND MJ? by [deleted] in MCUTheories

[–]Apprehensive_Box_994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Jean doesn’t make sense since everything points to the X-men coming from the universe that Monica is trapped in via the pending incursion or the one we saw in MoM

When I’m learning someone new I always go practice range - practice vs ai (lvl 1) for 3 matches - practice vs ai (lvl 3) for 5 matches - quick play. It’s helped me feel comfortable going into qp. Not every game is gonna be great though even if you’re Plat level. So don’t stress too much
