I have no doubt you'd blame the Conservatives for rolling any of that back and not the Liberals or the NDP for all the scandals, gross misuse of funds, everything they'd done during covid-19, and the lavish expenses of the MPs. This is straight out of the Liberal election time playbook, pledge to spend piles of money the government can't afford to make the Conservatives look bad when they have to show fiscal prudence because we're broke.

The Liberal regime in Canada under Herr Trudeau had already caused the big social media tech giants to censor news provided in Canada and we're still under that oppression here in Canada. As a result, shortly thereafter a pile of news outlets filed for bankruptcy protection because what else do you expect to happen when you cut off the hand that feeds you traffic. It's an unfortunate state of affairs when you have politicians who have no idea how the internet works and don't realize that linking to news stories actually makes the news outlets money; it was a beautiful symbiotic relationship, Facebook receives action on the commentary while the news outlet receives action on the clicks. Unfortunately the news outlets and the government got greedy and here we are, I can't share news articles from any country here in Canada.

I wouldn't be that proud, it wasn't a unanimous decision - 4 out of the 9 Justices were in support of police gaining access to your IP address without a warrant.

The shows ratings were abysmally low, why does an excuse need to exist for the show's cancelation outside of the obvious?

I feel it should be recognize that the news has been and is currently censored on social media in some countries. Initially it was Australia until they came to a partial deal to unaffect some of it while it's censored for Canadians due to the Liberal government overplaying their hand. Further to that, Facebook as a whole is blocked in countries like Myanmar and Russia.

No, for the one show it was Y: The Last Man. I was insta-banned almost immediately after my review went online (0.5 stars and that's as someone who loved the graphic novel). The other show was either The 4400, She-Hulk, or Deputy. It would be one thing if the review was withheld on behalf of claims that people were review bombing the content but the message you get is concerning inactivity which is the exact opposite of what's going on.

There are a lot of allegations from people who were banned that if you drill down deep enough, their negative reviews were against NBCUniversal or Warner Brothers properties and both of those companies have a stake in Rotten Tomatoes which is another thing that people need to discuss here. So take The 4400, that was a CW show and Warner Brothers has a stake in CW. At this point it's just a conspiracy theory but there are patterns which suggest it's not.

Surprised that no one has mentioned that Rotten Tomatoes has also been caught affecting audience reviews for specific shows and movies, typically those that are agenda-driven or put out by their parent companies.

You can find a number of Reddit posts where people will detail how they left a bad review on a certain show and Rotten Tomatoes rendered their accounts inactive so all their reviews went offline. You have to re-register your account and after a period of time your reviews eventually come back but not until the show has had enough time to claim they have a higher audience review than they really had. I'm pretty sure a popular media site covered this a few years back as well.

I only found out about this because it happened to me so I started googling and BAM! ...there's a Reddit thread of people who posted legitimate bad reviews about the same show. And despite that, Rotten Tomatoes had the gall to claim that said show had 100% audience ratings to which people are wondering, "WTF?! I literally make it less than 100%!!"

It may just be Laserjet with the 'e' rule then, not Officejet. I had this confirmed by an HP support rep a while back after I had to have him reset an account that was on a printer setup by a user but I believe the context was laser printers in the conversation but I may have assumed all of their printers.

All HP printers with a model ending with 'e' is an HP+ printer requiring an HP account and requires an active connection to the internet regardless of whether or not you're using it with a USB connection. You read that right, even if the printer isn't connected to a network for network or wireless printing, it must have an internet connection or it will eventually stop printing. An example, "HP LaserJet Pro MFP 4101fdwe", has a USB port but requires the internet. "HP LaserJet Pro MFP 4101fdw Printer", has a USB port, network port, wireless capabilities, does not require the internet and it's a decent printer. The 'e' printers also require authentic HP cartridges.

Yea, I don't know why people aren't commenting to that reality. There are videos of dudes walking by a car or SUV, then a few minutes later walking back up to it, opening the door, and immediately driving off like it was their car.

He was just on a Valuetainment podcast last week relaying exactly why he believed Vice bottomed out, check out PBD Podcast Ep. 266 at about the 15 minute mark.

... but not the content? If you were to ask me a few years back who the most toxic media creators of a media outlet were, I'd probably start with Vox, Buzzfeed, and Vice. It's one thing to an extreme viewpoint from the rest of the country, it's another thing to literally belittle the majority of the country with a level of arrogance that infers that everyone believes what you believe and those who don't are reprehensible creatures. Yea, that's not a good business model.

Which is a shame because there was a time maybe 25 or so years ago when Vice was a hip magazine that could talk trash and get away with it, mostly because their trash talk was "cool" and it wasn't overtly ideological. And they've put out a number of great documentaries as well.

... who is bitter? You were literally the first poster.

... including this one.

... impartial? Lol, ok CBC employee.
