>>6 if the internet isnt comfy anymore where do we go?
>>8 you got a point, it seems like more and more content is ai slop or some promotion for some nonsense no one wants. but imo this is also partly the user's fault, you can choose what to do online and how much, no one is forcing you watch shorts all day. go do an online course or learn about knitting or something.
and frankly osaka just leaving everything and all of us kind of hurts, the internet may not be comfy anymore but what about the fans? i watched osaka for 8 years and the thought of never hearing his wonderful Español and nuanced deep takes on everything from the ridiculousness of capitalism and wagies, to his views on European society, to his efforts in improving himself and striving for something simultaneously within and outside his grasp, like a lost mountaineer in the Pyrenees searching for his way to the top. i mean just learning a language as an adult, voluntarily, with no career justification, no exam deadline, no trip booked, thats remarkable itself, there are few individuals who can do such a thing. It was Osaka betting on himself in the most spectacular way. he's not grinding toward a credential, or a job, or anything but his own satisfaction, he is opening a door because he wanted to see what was on the other side, because beauty and curiosity were reason Enough. And in a world that demands everything be optimized and monetized and justified, that small act carried enormous weight, even if he can't see it
