  • I think it’s honestly because of the older stuff starting to finally reach public domain age, and they want new versions that will retain copyright for authors life+100 years all over again. They’ll lose access to the copyrights to the originals, but they’ll still be able to copyright any new variations they make while they are still in ownership of the originals.

    Which, yeah, is peak boring dystopia.


  • Some people subscribe to certain subs to just hate-read reddit, I guess.

    There’s less and less reason to check it every day. I used to check our /r/law regularly to read lawyers interpretations of all the court cases against Trump and where they were going. Then in the last few months the sub got flooded with loud jabronis with no legal education and only in like the last few weeks have the moderators started to regain control of it and make it strictly moderated again.

    I mean, that’s part of it yes…

    …but also overall food has gotten better, more diverse, with better flavorings, especially if you make it yourself.

    So on one hand, a modern Twinkie isn’t as good, but on the other hand, there’s far more tasty options than just a Twinkie now. Hell, even those similarly styled and packaged Mexican treats (like a Bimbo Nito for example) appeal to me more than Hostess treats of any kind.

    But I’d still rather go for something locally made that isn’t packaged and filled with preservatives. I am lucky to have some nice Mexican bakeries nearby.
