I hate Tik Tok and also hate copyright disputes but can't help but smile when these big corporations have arguments over money and people start taking sides, like Tik Tok or Universal cares about any of their customers.
I’m on side “Let them fight”.
Let them cook each other
Let them almost kill each other, then whoever is dragging themselves away from the fight go over and American History X their entire business.
I can dream....
that's how i am when the big media companies and the cable/satellite companies fight over fees and retransmission rights.
Why would having a personal interest or maybe a legal opinion rely at all on whether the companies care for you?
Who said you can't have an opinion?
You can write a paper on the case for all I care just don't pretend corporations are our friends, or god forbid feel sorry for Tik Tok.
The top level comment said it was ridiculous that anyone would take a side. So while they didn't say you couldn't have any opinion, but that you were ridiculous for having one.
The top comment is about fanboyism, not about ridiculing people for having an opinion.
Then they should make it more clear, because that certainly is not clear from what they said.
Why... wouldn't it? Why wouldnt that affect your personal interest?
The people who created the modern form of chess are long since dead, so they don't have any idea of my existence at all. Yet I still enjoy playing chess. Should I not enjoy the game because the people who created it don't care about me at all?
The inventor of chess can't do anything that affects your life any more. Companies can, and do.
No matter how far we move the goal posts, I'm still going to base what I enjoy on what I enjoy, and not on what corporations are doing or not doing. I find it a bit sad that people would let what entity controls something to dictate their enjoyment of it.
I enjoyed Reddit, but then they started doing things I didn't agree with, so I left.
I used to want a Tesla, but I'd rather not support someone like Elon Musk, so I won't get one.
I used to love songs by a certain band, and then the lead singer turned out to be a pedophile, so I stopped listening to the music because it was no longer enjoyable.
Sometimes you've got to vote with your wallet, or your attention, or whatever affects the relevant party. Companies definitely affect you, and I don't think it's wrong to make decisions based on things other than just enjoyment.
I ultimately agree here that you should vote with your wallet. I never said nor suggested that one should make decisions solely on what they enjoy.
The top level comment was about how people are "taking sides" and that is ridiculous because the companies don't care for people. My original point was that someone might have a personal interest in the matter or an informed legal opinion, and might take a side based on these things.

This sounds like the plot to hikari no go.
