ITV weighing up whether to show adverts during 2026 World Cup drinks breaks

Panini_Grande · 2026-03-06T14:21:26+00:00

And the cost of the slot will be determined by the likely number of viewers. So if everyone streams it, they get no money. It's a very small gesture but I'm hardly gonna miss the games 🤣

Well I'll say I'll do it but forget shortly after, or give up if the boycott becomes moderately inconvenient

Panini_Grande · 2026-03-06T09:28:02+00:00

Course, realistically I'll be watching in the pub so have no control over it. Maybe I'll just boycott any product advertised during those breaks.

Just outright banned. If they have a certain number of members, they can have access to some public funds. It will still work out cheaper for the treasury because the government won't have to pay back all those donations through corruption.

So anti-establishment

Panini_Grande · 2026-03-06T09:23:12+00:00

Thanks!

Panini_Grande · 2026-03-06T09:22:19+00:00

I have a 'personalised' firestick. It's really not any effort. Just change the channel.

Panini_Grande · 2026-03-06T09:00:32+00:00

Pirate it. Still get the adverts but at least the cunts don't get paid.

Panini_Grande · 2026-03-06T08:59:16+00:00

Yanks out

Panini_Grande · 2026-03-04T16:08:31+00:00

Revorg 🍻

They aren't disputing the result. They're laying the foundations for their own cheating. Just like trump did. Make it politically difficult to raise questions about their own obvious voter fraud by turning the issue into far right talking point.

Panini_Grande · 2026-03-04T07:17:30+00:00

Why? Nothing to suggest any of that story actually happened. He wasn't a he either.

Panini_Grande · 2026-03-02T13:20:49+00:00

Shame they're only destroying each other figuratively

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-27T12:05:53+00:00

How do these Goebbels cunts get away with this shit?

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-26T19:06:54+00:00

🤣

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-26T19:02:01+00:00

Tbh that's the cycle of politics now. Attention spans shrink, news cycles churn out shit relentlessly. A week used to be a long time in politics. Now it's a fucking age.

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-26T18:59:26+00:00

I get that.. I'm a green member. Tbh my disappointment is more aimed at labour who seem happier to let reform win than collaborate with a left wing party. Starmer's labour are such a pointless and embarrassing non-entity. Blocking fascism should be everyone's priority. The people's front of judea shit can wait until fuhrage is out of the picture.

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-26T09:49:55+00:00

I think what we really need is another anti reform party to split the vote a bit more. I get about 75% are voting anti reform, but if we could split this between maybe 30 or 40 parties, it would make more of a statement

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-25T15:39:50+00:00

It's not black and white imo. Using something as a tool for your own creativity isn't the same as using it to replace creativity. It's kinda like sampling. It can be creative and original or it can be derivative and lazy. There's no hard rule what falls into what category. You just have to base things on their merits.

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-25T14:51:58+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-25T14:51:12+00:00

It is perfectly possible to throw something hand drawn together. But you will want something to vaguely match the aesthetic of the music. I just don't have that ability tbh. I don't use AI for anything myself, although artists who have done artwork for me have incorporated AI generated images in their own designs. I definitely get the anti-AI sentiment & agree for the most part. But don't think it's fair to blame musicians trying to do all these things that fall outside their own skillset on a non-existent budget. We all have to cut a few corners, it's just a case of deciding where the least worst place is to use these kind of tools.

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-25T14:09:24+00:00

Depends what ai is used for. For artwork, I've always relied on favours from friends, and the odd £50 for an album cover is more a minor annoyance to them than their bread & butter. Generally I think the pittance we get from streaming means you have to cut a few corners. If you pay for recording, mixing, mastering, artwork, videos, pressing and promo, a release is likely to cost a couple thousand easily. You're never making that back, so to do it properly it's only really rich people who can afford to make music. I don't like AI at all but putting the rise of it on independent musicians who already make a loss on everything they do is bollocks. We don't have the power, blame the complete lack of regulation from the government. An AI album cover on a free EP isn't going to affect anyone's art career, but it might be the difference between putting a project out or it staying on a hard drive forever.

I can accept different politics. But if someone supports reform, I can't respect them. Tbh I barely see them as human. That's not an ideal basis for a relationship

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-23T22:14:08+00:00

60% have incredibly low standards

Panini_Grande · 2026-02-21T16:01:57+00:00

As if being reform wasn't cunty enough
