This is a link post Blimey. I didn't realise this.
I know some on here resent F9's showy/OTT/high production but I had no idea this is how Google and Meta were making so much revenue.

This is a normal post I quite like a lot of F9's content, although I could do without seeing so much of his hare lip.
But this is just a thinly veiled 9 minute ad for the fact that F9 sells MTB accessories on his website. He does a lot of shit like this. There's an even worse one which was a glaringly obvious sponsored video for an action came. It was fucking embarrassing.

This is a normal post With 2.26M subscribers, I suspect he's probably doing not too bad.
I'm fine with these kinds of content creators flogging their wares, but this is a bit much.
Alec over at Technology Connections can make a genuinely interesting video, full of completely relevant content, and stick in a quick 2 minute 'buy my socks' bit. It's unobtrusive, honest, and works.
This cunt makes a 9 minute video of him fucking about on his bike, peppered with shots of his webstore, whilst monologuing about shady monetisation pratices in promotional campaigns, and tops it off with a 'buy my MTB accessories' message at the end.

The whole video is a fucking ad.

I do love the production value of F9's work, but i've see two too many of these types of videos from him now. It's grabby as fuck.

This is a normal post It's a store that sells motorbike kit and bike bits
some people are angry pants that they're making videos that aren't just a guy standing next to a motorbike talking about the motorbike for no money but very slick, glossy and sneakily plugging the stuff they sell. They do tyre reviews, helmets, gloves etc but this one's showing how Google and Meta basically sell advertising but because they know when someone will buy something anyway jumping in just before they do then charge a huge ad fee. Using their own bike bits as an example.

I can see why purists are unhappy, but I really enjoy their stuff.

"The monkeys were 40 pounds and were first reported to be “aggressive,” as well as also carrying hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID.

a friend made a short years ago that won a 'festival' and puts 'award winning filmmaker' all over his linkedin and the like.

the helpdesk at my work 'won' some external paid for award and was there was an internal news piece with award and grinning IT bods. Truth is the helpdesk was shit and 50% full of numpties that they can't seem to jettison. 50% of the people who were any good were actively hostile to users. One of the numpties was described as a clockwork mouse. you could wind him up and give him some instructions but if anything deviated from that he couldn't handle it. and that description came from one of his colleagues!

I remember having to choose a hosted server, and one had some "Best server award" or similar.
Curious, I looked up the award which had very few details on its website, but it did have a company name which I looked up. It shared the same registered address as the company that offered the server. I've since seen numerous examples of similar across a range of products, like insurance. If you want an award just create one and award yourself it.

Did he actually molest any kids, or was he just attracted to them? Because if he was actually molesting kids, that's different, and worse than spousal abuse.

and the first two by The Bionics, a trio who make Techno For The Bookish. This is the opening (and fastest) number from SEA OTTERS.

I'm trying a new "business" model with The Bionics in that anyone who buys a CD gets TWO free downloads from the page, and anyone who buys a Digital LP gets ONE free download from the page. No rush, no obligation.

The aim is to get funds to make a CD & LP of the 3rd album entitled ASTRO MAMBO! with a very special cover by this parish's very own Happy Toast.

About 20 years ago the first cases of magnetic deaths were being reported in medical press. There was nothing in the law to stop it.
It coincided with the discovery that previously trusted toy suppliers were swapping out the specified paint for Hot Wheels cars with cheaper paint containing lead.
The massive changes in product legislation that werecrolled out at that time are kind of what created my career.

This is a normal post I'm keen to ask because
This used to be a great page to go to for these things. The newsletter still provides, but the enthusiasm seems to have faded over time.

This is a normal post We've all got older and less fun.
Perhaps we need to change the branding a little to appeal to the youth.

Infinite scroll and a discord channel, maybe? An official b3ta tiktok?

Possibly a lot more noise, 533m internet users in 2001 whereas now its more like 5.6bn.

This is a normal post Web Curios is a decent newsletter if you like the b3ta one,
even if they're a bit too forgiving of AI projects.
webcurios.co.uk

All forums are reduced versions of what they used to be, really. Social media really fucked things up by making people think they need everything in one place.

I also have a few pots of knobs. I love Moog stuff and have several of their stomp boxes but the knobs are crap. I've replaced them all with chicken heads so I can see at a distance what is going on.

I'd luv to have a Hohner Guitaret but they sell for over $2,000 and the two in the auction could hit $3,500-$4,500 with the Kraftwerk provenance.

Fortunately, someone uploaded samples of one for free.

Sadly, there isn't a Kraftwerk branded musical pocket calculator.

Well.... The photo makes him look like he has special needs. The idea that being witnessed on CCTV by professional security guards is the same thing as acting in public is somewhat troubling. The comments suggest Northern Echo readers might be a bit thick.

Wtf was the act itself though? How was the branch used? What, specifically, was cleaned off the morning after? So many unanswered questions.
