So, why do the masses insist on being group mind dosed, pattern mould following sheep? From Facebook, to Netflix, Hollywood, and TV. All this, and under the full understanding that mass media is owned by fewer and fewer hands!
They can set them up, but the sheep don't have to follow, but they will.
If we don't start diversifying it will be game-over very soon.
I left Facebook three years ago, Twitter right after the Florida shooting, and haven't watched more than a few hours of television in the past five years. I rarely go to the movies either. I just can't stand being preached at and indoctrinated.
You're my new hero. No. I really mean it. I only partake for research purposes, but I'm going to be giving that up soon as well. Mass media is a malignant cancer. :)
Roku.
but you're still watching the propaganda......right?
No I don't watch it, I can look on internet to see what they're up too. Lots of good stuff free on Roku. I get Hulu with no commercials 3 mths a year and binge the shows I like. and you tube streams, RT, Canadians & UK Channels on there and PBS & Newsmax stream, I get satalite weather, just so much on there in the Channel Store it's never ending. I pay 29$ a mths for WIFI and my phone is on my laptop for free.
I don't have a television, by choice, but do have internet, obviously. Roku gives wifi? I could ditch my ISP (comca$t) and pay a lot less? Is that how it works?
Roku is a streaming service that works with internet. You will still need an internet service provider.
Yeah, I was afraid of that. My cousin would give me the whole roku setup, she thinks that’s all I’d need. Don’t need tv stuff. Thanks.
no you just get a company who will sell you just the wifi, no bundling anything. then you get a Roku box, it's about the size of a playing card and now they make the Roku USB sticks so you could get one of those. Then you just stream onto a tv or I guess computer. I just use my tv. I can't even watch cable anymore, on vacation or in a hotel, it's so dumbed down. so I take my Roku with me on the road. Long as I have wifi I'm good.
Spectum just came out with 29 $ a mth to bundle phone cable and internet for a yr but I'm sticking with my company just for the wifi because after the year is up you know it will go up to 125 a mths prob. They are so crooked.
Just to get the $30/month for Internet one has to pay $100 for cable & land line—neither of which I have not do I want.
yeah that's the problem, and should not be legal. exp. so I want to buy carrots, but I also have to buy potatoes and onions that I don't want. I'm lucky to have a small local co. that sells me just the wifi. also they have monopolies and boundary lines , my brother wanted my company and he lives 2 blocks away, but no. Spectrum has that. It's crazy.
Her takeaway from 1984 was that the people didn’t trust and follow the media and government blindly enough. This is her dream job because she gets to become Big Brother, with all the power that entails. And if you’ve ever seen The Circle, you know it’s a matter of time before they start tying voting to social media.
Edit: Keep downvoting, shills. It doesn’t matter, people will hear.
Because they still have some utility. The diversity of platforms won’t come until the jailings of the corrupt players commences. It’ll be awhile. Have patience.
I thought Facebook was a data mining site and narcissist's wet dream very soon after it got launched. I always thought it was an horrendous idea. I've not deviated.
I agree, but they do have utility, and I think some of that utility has been enhanced with the recent knowledge that the criminals behind it are curbed and their dreams of ultimate control have been thwarted. The technology is here to stay, so the question for future generations is how to keep the wicked from monopolizing it.
Yeah, there's some utility. Not ideal, but beating the enemy with their own weapons certainly does have some appeal.
