Bunny-Girl Senpai is an interesting show. It seems to be going for a theme with the various arcs: each one seems to be about how communications media change our behavior & self-image by exerting social pressure with expectations.
Is there already a term for going into a piece of media with the expectation that it won’t be a waste of time / there’s something to be gained by paying attention & thinking? (Like ‘good-faith viewership’?)

Media Piracy and Unpronounceable Names - Charlie’s Diary http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/09/media-piracy-and-unpronounceab.html
Hot take: the most annoying thing about anti-spoiler behavior is that it protects the kind of bad, shallow media that spoilers actually affect from serious criticism until they have already been consumed.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net My take on this is… let’s let people ruin the web. Let centralized services control everything. But let us tech savvy people stick together and provide an alternative space for us. A space that’s welcoming to those that want to join and learn. Maybe people will come over when their online actions show real life consequences. There are statistics about decreasing social media use in Generation Z. Maybe they want to learn from us Internet-Dinosaurs :)

Elon Musk Is The Donald Trump Of Silicon Valley https://www.buzzfeed.com/carolineodonovan/elon-musk-tesla-spacex-war-press-media
Hot take: the most accurate depiction of the deep state in media is the 1980s british sitcom Yes, Prime Minister
Hot take: it’s important to distinguish ‘junk food media’ (i.e., stuff that, regardless of technical competence, will succeed by delivering on purience) from ‘premium media’ (works whose popularity depends on craftsmanship). The former is more important for the progress of art, because polish runs counter to experimentation.
article idea: media (esp. social media) as perverse psychogeography, & the inhabitants of transient spaces by career & disposition

Whatâs Really at Stake in the Battle for âIdeological Diversityâ at Elite Media Outlets https://theintercept.com/2018/04/10/kevin-williamson-atlantic-ideological-diversity/
Hot take: authenticity is a separate issue from control. ‘Selling out’ is a matter of centralized control of media, not of compromised ‘individuality’. People are often genuinely individually awful.
