Insane Clown Posse - "Chris Benoit" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=574ULaCk4iE
Inspiration for the song came from wrestler Chris Benoit, who murdered his wife and son before committing suicide. Insane Clown Posse broadly alluded to the murders in the song's lyrics, but the focus of the song is not the murders themselves, but of suddenly losing one's sanity, and eclipsing in violence.[3] The song pertains to the album's overall concept, which "teaches us to respect the life we've been given and do our best to avoid an early death."
Not familiar with this, but it's solid.
The poachers just taught gorillas how to make traps. Now the gorillas are gonna go full Rambo on them.
Some people post full action movies to youtube. It's interesting bc they use various techniques to avoid the copyright-detection bots: they append long segments of unrelated video after the movie, they manipulate the "thumbnail" that shows when you mouse-over the timeline, I think they AI-generate thumbnails that aren't actually clips from the movie, and of course they use text that describes the movie without actually using the movie name. The accounts look like they've been around a while, with "video blog" style posts in different languages. In the comments, people without an adblock strategy complain about the large number of ads, so I'm guessing the posters are trying to maximize uptime to make more ad money?
The movies are usually only up a day or two before the algorithms figure it out (or they get manually reported?) and they're taken down but a lot of times they get resposted. I suspect it's ongoing and I just stumbled into it now bc I was looking for movies to post to !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee . Anyway, uBO is still working on youtube, so I watched a couple of those recently.
That's an excellent point. Hundreds of years ago, if you wanted to recomment the product of a particularly skilled soapmaker or farmer, you'd say "Jo made that", and maybe you could point to Jo's logo on the product so your friends knew how to recognize it. So the signifier of quality (the brand) pointed to the signified of a quality product. But now the signifier has become disentangled from the signified: the advertisements and marketing campaigns promote brand loyalty even if the product becomes worse through inferior ingredients or shrinkflation. Because of this, the signifier is presented to us when we do not want to see it.
Businesses get on board and start the horrible ad infestation
There were a couple years where businesses were "entering cyberspace" and still trying to figure it out. Mostly this involved static webpages, since they saw the web as a kind of yellow pages. i.e. a business' web page was their ad.
people are apparently fine with ads
It amazes me how accepting most people are of ads. I suspect Google's going to win, and their ultimate contribution to humanity will be forcing ads into everything.
Hmmm... "A Passage to India" takes place during the Raj (which is when the Crown took over from the East India Company) but a lot of the attitudes and issues are the same

Similarly, "Conduct Unbecoming" takes place right after the Crown takeover. But hey, it's free on youtube:

Finally, you could look here:
I mean this respectfully. The character Everett True is known as someone who tells the truth even when it's not popular.
I was gonna say Cosmic Slop, especially their Houston 1976 live version. But Maggot Brain is awsome too.
