Another waste of time and funds on a study from the department of the fucking obvious and nothing done about it.
Once again another reason not to refute the fact that theres only a 5% chance of us getting off this trajectory
to catastrophic climate collapse that will lead to the extinction of much of life, except perhaps a few lucky
extremophiles within decades.

Perhaps if we were to fund action,instead of reports that tell us what we already know we might stand a better chance,
but i dont think thats looking likely.

This has actually been a major problem for Roku. If I'm bored enough to watch some of their free-to-stream channels, I'll often get ad breaks with no ads, just a countdown timer says "We'll be back in a few minutes," or I'll just see ads for other Roku channels which are obviously just filler content. I assume this is because they don't have any paid advertisers who want to target me. If the problem is that producing ads is just too expensive for a lot of potential advertisers, this is going to be an interesting change to the viewer experience.

Yeah that's the sad part, I wonder what these companies could've produced if they weren't acquired and put through the corporate wringer. They don't necessarily need to turn a profit to make great radio dramas, maybe they could've made great content and just managed to cover costs.

What exactly is Bending Spoons? I have a hard time understanding these privately-owned multinational conglomerates that don't actually produce anything.

Are we supposed to be glad that Vimeo will be managed by a seemingly magnanimous private holding company, or worried that it will become someone's private cash-cow?
