"making a product people will pay for" is a concept alienated from the industry at present

Opened google and it proposed these very normal search questions, like How is an overlooked tool reshaping understanding of Ancient Egyptian engineering. You know, just regular things people ponder about.

my opinion on the Bad Bunny halftime show, and non-English music in general, is that i think a need to “be able to understand the lyrics” displays an embarrassing shallowness of the speaker to appreciate the voice as an instrument & to appreciate music as something other than a lyric delivery system
