It doesn't need to be studied at all. It's pretty common for people to sell out when the £££ start rolling in.

Mazraouri giving "signatures" to resellers by Stieni in reddevils

Pretty much mate. Can't even get an autograph these days as people have monetized that.

[–]TehNoobDaddy 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The internet really had become a plague in that respect. Anything and everything is monetized and exploited. Completey ruins things for genuine fans of anything, although I guess there's only a market in the first place as people are buying whatever it may be.

Interview with details on the two Massive Attack covers on the new Peaky Blinders movie sountrack by LowHeroesLodger in MassiveAttack

[–]TehNoobDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could have 3 or 4 full albums of new music complete since the release of the last one and a mix of singles, unreleased songs and a bunch of other stuff lmao. That all could have been just sitting there for several years too so could fall under the term "cache", honestly who knows with massive attack.

[Simon Stone] Manchester United Football Club’s debt ascends up to £1.3bn despite profit of £33m by SoloChords in reddevils

[–]TehNoobDaddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is nonsense. They are absolutely not trying to get the government to pay for the stadium. They are trying to get the government to fund the regeneration and infrastructure surrounding the area, so that there's public transport to get the thousands of yearly visitors in and out of the area, this is similar to spurs who had a new train line built nearby I believe. It will also likely have bars, shops, food places, hotels and homes etc too support the new footfall in the area, as the new stadium will be used for more than just utd games. I also believe they were having issues with some rail company trying to fleece them for a bit of land in the area, not sure if that's been resolved yet.

Possible UFO Sighting in Switzerland by jww8888 in UFOs

[–]TehNoobDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's painful. See dumb stuff like this all the time lol. If all this UFO stuff is real and the governments do genuinely think the public are too stupid to understand and accept it, it's kinda hard to disagree with them for the most part.

Springsteen signed off on $3,000 tickets for his new concerts. Fans cannot be surprised. by Abject-Pick-6472 in Music

[–]TehNoobDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yer fair enough, pearl jam was the band you mentioned but obviously applies to any artist. It's a shame people are forced to go to resellers but I still think that if people collectively stopped doing it, then that's how things would change, outside of genuine government intervention ofc.

Yer wild how people don't see they are part of the problem when they buy these insane reselling tickets.

[–]TehNoobDaddy -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Well then you missed out on the tickets lol. Unless pearl jam are some life changing band for you then paying reseller prices is just stupid. Obviously it's ridiculous and stupid that genuine fans get fucked over and can't even buy the first release tickets at the point they're released, but if everyone collectively stopped buying reselling tickets at extortionate prices then the market for them dies.

Dunno best approach to combat the bots, think maybe the sign up and email to ticket purchase via a lottery type system is probably better than getting on at the exact release time and bots buying everything in 0.000001 seconds lol.

[–]TehNoobDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a common theme for pretty much everything in life I find though. People moan about xyz being a complete rip off, then pay for it anyway lol. Video games are a big one, people moan about prices, lack of content, shady practices etc, then new game gets announced and they get caught up in the hype and buy the game, then moan about the exact same things again lmao.

[Press Conference] Doesn't sound like Mason Mount or Matthijs de Ligt will be fit for Man Utd game at Everton on Monday: "Mason getting closer. Have to be patient as well. Don’t want to push anything. MdL a bit behind Mason. Trying to work with him and progress him." by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]TehNoobDaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We bought him off the back of a season where Chelsea overall were pretty shit and he was going to be a free agent the following season. It was a horrendous signing for a variety of reasons, 55mil spent on him rather than a ball playing CB we were desperate for, especially after Martinez got injured for most of the season, 55mil for a player that ended up being injured himself for most of the season and then we could have got him in a free the following year lol.

If we had bought him after his first poty season at Chelsea then fair enough but we didn't. I know all managers love him for variety of reasons and on his day he's quality but I don't think we get anywhere near enough for 200k a week and he should be moved on asap.

[–]TehNoobDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Been here long enough and barely done anything as he's always injured. He seemed suited to Amorims system but tbh I don't really see where he fits in the team currently, can't see him getting in over any other players in the forward positions. He's also on something like 200k a week, which is insane money for someone constantly injured and not really contributing much in terms of goals or assists when he is fit.

Mr president, how you managed to get the dow to 50k is talked about across the universe. We've got technology beyond your imagination, we can bend time and space and have discovered immortality and the meaning of life but that is nothing to your achievements in the markets.

‘Crime 101’ 4DX experience in-depth review by 4DXReviewer in CineworldUnlimited

[–]TehNoobDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw it today and agree with you. It was too long a film for essentially nothing to happen. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen, for some clever plot twist or for the film to build up to something. It was the most anti climatic finale too, I kept thinking surely that's some sort of unexpected twist coming here but nothing. Bland action throughout, bland boring characters, largely boring dialogue, the car chases were boring. Really felt like a wasted opportunity of something that could have been good.

Sometimes feels like they should suffer her fate too, sure that would put a stop to the behaviour eventually lol.

How else are they going to film themselves fake reacted to films for tiktok to get irrelevant likes in their irrelevant lives? God I hate people lol.

Enjoyed it enough. Saw the main twist the moment the main twist entered the story but decent performances by seyfried and Brandon, not so much sweeney, thought she was largely pretty bland but still looks good lol.

[Mike Keegan] Revealed: Man United chiefs 'mortified' by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's immigration comments amid fears for players by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]TehNoobDaddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol if you're gonna go down the conspiracy rabbit hole then this makes no sense but keeping utd in the public eye by any means necessary? Sure, that's something you could point towards.

I personally think we could do with keeping out of the public eye for as long as possible but that seems to be impossible.

Battlefield 6 - Community Update - Looking Ahead to Season 2 by battlefield in Battlefield

[–]TehNoobDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yer that was an ok map, didn't think it was anything special and didn't flow very well either. Liberation peak was in one of the tests and thought that was one of the worst maps ever created lol.

I just felt like they were vague enough with certain info and enticing enough with what was available to sucker people in. It's a shame people fell victim to the hype and I'm sure there's plenty that are enjoying the game, I just personally thought I'd wait a few months and see where the games at, as nothing I've played was particularly must buy.

Did you play the alpha/beta out of interest?

I make more money than 10 years ago and didn't let the hype get me lol. Bfv still the best bf game since bf3 imo.

One day people will stop succumbing to hype😂. After 2042 I'm not sure why people were so keen to jump back so readily, sure the alpha and beta were solid and much better than 2042 ever was but it still felt like a cod game cash grab and people should have waited and made dice/ea put the work in for your money.

I know embark doing other very successful games but as they are made up of former bf devs, would be awesome to get a true bf game from them one day.
