#thinking about making a fan account on some other social media where i just talk about things i'm currently obsessed with #i'm kinda missing having an outlet #to all of my past followers from the 1D fandom i truly command you for still being there and following ~them~ daily

PSA about the discord server: Levellr

I don't see anyone talking about this, but LTHQ (and BMG) seem to have hired Levellr to handle his server (you can figure this out from the emails you would've gotten when you registered for the server). This is what they market themselves as

A platform that turns fragmented Discord conversations and engagement into actionable insights, community growth and revenue generation.

They also seem to have some high profile clients in the music industry including WMG and UMG (which is what BMG has a collaboration with). Levellr has apparently helped Fall Out Boy, Maisie Peters and Fred Again achieve professional success.

However, the main reason for my post is this article:

So, Levellr and LTHQ are datamining fans to be used for promotion. I find this incredibly concerning as a proponent of AI regulation and safety. Now the fact that your data will be used for these purposes might have been covered in some terms and conditions you may have accepted when you joined the server (let me know if that is the case; I haven't joined the server nor do I have any intention to). But I believe these actions need to happen with your informed consent. Be aware that your discussions and conversations in the server will probably be monitored and insights will be used by UMG for promoting their artists. Edit: I found something else as well.

Your spotify data can also be used for marketing purposes. This is something that seems to be standard, but you need to be aware what your data is being used for. Note that your streaming data can probably be used in the promotional campaigns of other artists with UMG as well.

#this is soooo funny #louis and lthq never cease to make me laugh #incredible #they set up a discord server that has plenty of topics banned #not only topics tho but also words #and when you use them you'll be kicked out or put in a time out #and they're gonna use that server to data mine the fans to find out what they want and what the structure of fandom is #while only allowing discussiond about approved subjects #so then when they'll get the report from that company or whatever they'll just pat themselves on the back cause see!!!#the fandom's overwhelming majority is now solo fans!!!!!! we've been doing a good job and our strategy has been correct!!!#never have i seen such refusal to face the truth and the constant need for validation #and let me be clear - louis is as compliant as lthq lol #he should move his lazy ass use his brain and actually start working instead of acting like it’s a standard 9-5 job #wanting an indie fanbase with a mainstream artist perks is never gonna work babe #damn the downfall has been so delicious to watch

do you ever walk into a piece of media already convinced which character you'll be obsessed with (based on your usual tastes and how the fandom portrays them) and then when you actually get into it some random motherfucker clocks you in the jaw instead and you're left like ???????? really??????? we're blorboing THAT one????

#me walking into goblin for gong yoo and walking out with ldw obsession <3

honestly, s3 felt like hdh's fuck you to us all for wanting him to make more seasons

#squid game #because when you think about it #watching s3 made me feel like i was watching a reality show too just like the vips #and not a tv drama #there was so much focus on the games but where were interesting convos #where were the character interactions i was hoping for #everything is the same it was before s2 except more good people are dead #is that the moral they want to teach us #squid game spoilers #it should have stayed as a limited series #ALSO #who cares about that american spin off 😭#hdh butchering his own life's work on purpose so that netflix cannot profit off it as well as it could have would be so big brained of him

#love the validation even if it took 2 years :)#glad to see people catching up

every time (so like pretty often these days) louis does something that people deep down know is shit, they will always pull out the 'omg it's giving him new exposure what a great marketing plan he is reaching new audiences' card but it has never actually worked aren't you all tired at this point omg

#gonna go to sleep now #life is so much better on the detached side of being in a fandom

i respect innie mark for saving gemma at the very least and the romantic in me understands why he chose to stay in hell with helly but it ALSO needs to be understood by both him and every single person in this series that gemma’s feelings come first because no one has suffered more than her and if that’s a hard pill to swallow well then so be it

#!!!!!#i have very harsh words to say about mark s and helly r right now #severance

SEVERANCE 1.06 – Hide and Seek // 2.09 – The After Hours

#severance

consultingfujoshi

imagine you are a gay man in your 60s and you've been in the military most of your life so you've never been free to be yourself or to seek out people like you and as a result you're now elderly and alone and you've spent a lifetime betraying yourself and you've never been loved and you get experimental brain surgery to cope with this and then one day you learn that the innocent child version of yourself who knows nothing of your isolation or your sins fell in love with another man and the man he loved was killed for pursuing that relationship and then your other self is also killed presumably for the same reason but you meet the other version of the man he loved and he's married but he wants to get to know you and you don't know him but you have some inextricable connection, something is pulling you towards him and you know you shouldn't trust him but you do and you just don't want to be alone and his husband is kind of a dick so you follow that feeling and it leads you right into a trap he set for you and it turns out that he was just manipulating you all along, to make you let your guard down, and you fell for it because there's a part of you that wants to put your life in his hands and so you do and he takes you to a train station and tells you to get as far away from here as you possibly can, he's saving you perhaps even at the cost of his own life and you think maybe you weren't entirely wrong about trusting him so you tell him you want him and he doesn't deny he wants you back, you tell him you're ready to be loved by him and you don't even know what that means but you keep saying it over and over because it just feels right, like you've been waiting for this your whole life, and maybe you have, all you know is your life hangs in the balance but for the first time you're not afraid, and maybe his interest in you was under false pretenses but you don't care because there's a part of this that's real and you both know it, he doesn't let you kiss him but he lets you touch his face and stroke his cheek with your thumb and then you walk away and get on the train with your dog going to god knows where and as the tracks whisk you away into the great unknown and the dying light of a cold winter day paints your face you think maybe you have been loved all along. happened my friend irving bailiff
