#PBS should start a #YouTube competitor that compensates #creators without abusing their audience with ads. I'd pay a subscription fee for that!

The promise of #AI *for owners* is that they can get the same work for less money by employing fewer humans.
The promise of #AI for #workers and #creators, though, is that creative tasks that were impractical to do before now become possible to build within a reasonable time frame and budget. In other words, there’s a level of excellence we don’t normally talk about because it’s seen as being “unrealistic”, “too much work”, and “out of scope” for most real projects.

Algorithms of the big platforms can make people indeed ill. More and more influencers or social media #creators get #burnout symptoms: "There’s no off button in this job. The algorithms never stop. You can’t pause the internet." theguardian.com/media/2025/jul

Tattle Life, an online gossip forum that targets influencers and celebrities, which has been described as "the most toxic place on the internet," may be on its last legs. An Irish couple, Neil and Donna Sands, sued the site for hosting defamatory and harassing commentary about them and unveiled the founder as a vegan influencer and author called Sebastian Bond (who also used the name Helen McDougal). Cosmopolitan explains the site's background, how much money Bond was making from it, and how he was brought to justice.

Tubefilter: The “sad beige influencer” lawsuit ended in dismissal with prejudice.

Do you agree with this statement (it's my personal take):

- The majority of people who say Open Source software cannot be used for professional work, have never tried to use Open Source software for professional work.

Interested to hear your thoughts.
