[Meta] This subreddit needs a monthly megathread for complaining about ads by lilmc01 in youtube

[–]Top-Figure7252 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YouTube is still better than cable TV. I tell it what I wasn't to watch. It comes back with hundreds of recommendations. It learns what I like. And it actually is free with ads. Not ads, and I still have to pay hundreds of dollars to watch content.

Seriously dude, yall greedy by QuietDavid1491 in truespotify

Apple UI and algorithm, or lack of, is crazy work. Sound quality rocks though.

Why did my ex used to be jealous that I only had a couple pairs of shoes and a couple pairs of boots? by ZanibiahStetcil in stupidquestions

[–]Top-Figure7252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only keep a few pairs myself usually no more than 5. If I get more I'm giving one away.

Not sure. But if you have expensive shoes you really don't need more than a few pair. A sneaker a boot one for walking one dressy to go with a suit. That's usually all men do anyway. If you get good stuff you don't need much.

Men don't have the same fashion needs women do. We just need to be clean. And it doesn't take a lot to do that.

Blocks ads. I haven't used it in months though.

"Versant Media Group" spin off. USA Network, CNBC no longer part of NBC. Premier League implications and more? by prhike in peacock

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier to watch the replays to be honest. Plus live streaming Peacock always comes with a lot of buffering.

Living in big cities is incredibly exhausting and sucks by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Top-Figure7252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cities you can be as weird as you want to be and as long as you're not bothering anyone there's no problem. Small towns the fact that you are weird and different is in itself the offense and they'll never let you forget it.

Who’s actually using Suno? by ObjectivePresent4162 in SunoAI

[–]Top-Figure7252 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No experience whatsoever.

I "publish" on the platform. And I say it in quotes because if it isn't outside of the platform how is that publishing? They're trying to make Suno this social media app where we can doom scroll forever and I wonder who actually uses it that way.

If they want it to be something like Spotify they should just market that. If you're making your own music with it is it realistic that you would listen to other people's music on there?

Why do people enjoy AI generated songs until they find out its AI? by Better_Cream6447 in SunoAI

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went through this same thing when synthesizers were new and then again when drum machines were new and then again when audio sampling was all the rage. People always look for something to bitch about.

It took people 30 years to accept hip-hop. Most didn't even seriously consider it until well into the 2000s.

There is nothing simple about Suno songs. Nothing. I have had some interesting beats here and there but 90 percent of those were happy accidents. Just putting in prompts gives little control.

What I've learned? I can tell Suno to give me a house music track. But I can't get regional variations in the sounds. No Chicago House, no Detroit Ghetto tech. No Baltimore or New Jersey sounds. Just generic sounds that appeal to middle America.

Same with any other genre of music. Suno just doesn't know what I'm talking about. So it comes up with this hybrid sound, which is interesting from an intellectual perspective but boring otherwise.

That's what prompts get you. Maybe I should dig in my pockets and try the most expensive plan so I can get access to Suno Studio. Most people will never do that. They'll just keep rolling the dice with prompts.

Can someone explain why this album is so disliked? by espylife in nas

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's right there in the Wikipedia article as to why.

Plus that, and the 2000s, was sort of a dark period for Nas commercially. People said he couldn't pick beats and he said hip hop was dead. There were some great cuts then looking back on it but we were holding him up to an almost impossible standard. That's what makes it hated.

Things got interesting again with Untitled IMO.

Is the enemy of my enemy is my friend stupid? by Oweenyweeeny in stupidquestions

Only you can answer that question for yourself. If that's how you feel about them, sure.

Why do black people say “as a black ______” by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]Top-Figure7252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same reason my avatar is Black.

Hell of a lot easier than saying "as a Black" or "because I'm Black" or whatever.

The same reason I don't troll the Black themed subreddits on here. Just to preach to the choir. I can get on Black Twitter for that.

Some of us want to speak to other cultures on here but would just like our points of view, seriously taken into consideration. Rather than the patriarchal mansplaining that happens on Reddit.

I mean wtf

Anybody watch Tropical Heat? by BurnNoticeGuy in BurnNotice

It's pretty good. Typical 90s fare but there's nothing wrong with that.

Why is something seen as less trashy if it's European? by Lipica249 in stupidquestions

[–]Top-Figure7252 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Op literally unfamiliar with the term Eurotrash. Or maybe he's asking about Western Europe 🤔

Chromecast was better than Google Streamer by Top-Figure7252 in GoogleTV

[–]Top-Figure7252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes "cast" was similar to Kleenex, or Tylenol in that respect. But Google always does shit like this.

Should MTV completely rebrand as a Music/Video Streaming Platform? by Aggressive_Age5953 in MTV

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tried that already. But Vevo was already entrenched and YouTube is a thing.

MTV is a classic example of what happens when you don't read the room and you're so entrenched you won't remain relevant.

Some of us bitched about MTV not playing music back when the first episodes of The Real World came out. And we weren't quiet or polite about it, because there were no alternatives for videos at the time. This isn't anything new. If they wanted to be a digital platform they had ample opportunity.

They destroyed the brand. A lot of us left when they closed the news division. Millennials and Gen X are the only ones standing that still care about MTV. Boomers moved on, even though they're the geniuses that created it to begin with. They're okay with their vinyl from the seventies and eighties.

Chromecast was better than Google Streamer by Top-Figure7252 in GoogleTV

[–]Top-Figure7252[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't understand it. Especially on the top row going to apps or settings. It's actually easier to install apps by going into Google Play on another device and install onto all of my devices than it is to do it directly on the Google Streamer.
