... why? They're complete products that just sit there and make money for almost no effort
I think we're in a slow burning culture war that is trying to erase everything but one single mindset of thought.
Discovery channel felt it early, and now that same sentiment is spreading everywhere. Cut away the vibrant ecosystem for a single channel, controllable narrative.
And it's across every fuckdamn media.
You speak one of the scariest truths there is.
As an aside: I've begun to think that ADHD and some other neurodivergences are actually evolutionary responses to the exponentially increasing amount of data processing that modern humanity does on a daily basis, just not having long enough time for natural selection to smooth out the rough edges yet. Give it a few hundred thousand years or so.
Like we are those prehistoric transition mudskipper-like fish things that traded part of their swim control for the ability to absorb oxygen through their swim bladders, they couldn't swim as well as swimmy things, couldn't walk as well as walky things today, but at that moment it was the only chordate to be able to hunt the shore.
We're species transition in action maybe.
This is honestly the only reasonable explanation. Adult Swim was millennial counterculture, and now there is an effort to undo it and erase it from mainstream history.
That seals it, digital piracy is the freedom to shape our culture in the face of greedy corporations. A moral good.
I think they're trying to close adult swim games. If that happens, the money from sales go nowhere, so they're delisting the games too.
The whole Warner Bros thing is such garbage.
