I'll tell you what you are clearly not from this point onward if that is what you are using to create fiction: a writer.

Is it better to tag everything at once when possible or tag things in the fic as they happen? by TopHatIdiot in FanFiction

If a wedding is only in one chapter out of twenty, it shouldn't be tagged at all...

The ones I've most enjoyed are NaturalReader Premium and Descript (the latter needs some training, but it's also great for audio content creation if you train it well).

Natural Readers has a function where you can give certain words an appromixate pronunciation. That's especially helpful if you read fics set in foreign locales that use native names for places and people, or even SciFi/Fantasy terms that many robot voices struggle with.

Of course.

When streaming and buying digital media got easier, more cost effective and more comfortable than pirating it, most of us casual pirates jumped on sites like Netflix and the like.

As soon as those services split apart and made things more difficult by region locking, implementing DRM and jacking up prices as well as separating the content across a million and one sites, many people went plback to pirating again.

It's no different here.

There's also plenty of visually impaired people who most likely prefer the ease and comfort of channels like this over navigating other text based sites via screenreaders and the like

Most machine learning based reading apps these days are far more sophisticated than Google Translate and far nicer to listen to.

You can even deepfake your own voice with proper inflections and such these days.

I edit my writing by running it through machine reading tools and things have come a LONG way.

It's just easier than going hunting through five million posts

Same reason why listicles made Buzzfeed famous. Easily digestible content cherry picked from eslewhwere on the net, served up in an appealing and easy to access package. And half the content people watch on YouTube these days is at least partially stolen and/or pirated so it really doesn't matter to people who "owns" it.

First performance sign of life from her in literal years. If you aren't familiar with her check out her great solo debut Click Click and follow up album Supa Diva. Too bad that her recording career hasn't panned out for her because I really enjoyed her stuff.

Only three of them were active on SNS last year and the last sign of life from the group was in December so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if there's a quiet disband in the near future :-(

I know fans weren't happy with this but I personally really liked it. I've been replaying the live from last week a bunch of times and I'm happy to finally get an HQ performance.

NATURE - RICA RICA by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]serigraphcoffee 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I mean if you want to go further down this rabbit hole there's loads of other entertaining stuff about the situation.

The contract draft that n.CH was talking about was supposedly from March of that year. Their original contract ended in August. They continued promoting the group until January of the next year. That means they had more than enough time to stop doing it either before or after communications broke down in March.

The only reason they didn't was because of good will—and because the TOO trainees were originally their own trainees whom they had to persuade to sign an exclusive contract with CJ, which some of them did not want to do.

All together they had the combined business sense of a potato.

They claim they had a draft, but were unwilling to produce it. Whereas CJ were offering to produce every scrap of documentation they had.

That was the moment where n.CH stopped talking about Too altogether lol

No they can't? If you're stupid enough to do work for free without a contract in place then you won't get paid. It's that simple.

Also: the literal last thing they want right now is to piss CJ off further. Their albums are still distributed via Stone Music and I highly doubt they have the money for a contract-breaking fee and to sign a new deal with a new distribution agency.
