There is hope for the future
There was an article in The Guardian a few weeks back about how Gen Z find bookshops preferable to online shopping, and a key factor was that an algorithm will offer you 6000 books identical to the one you just finished whereas a bookseller will offer you three that are different but meet the vibe.

My phone is doing all the same things from 2015 with only minimal benefits. The only reason we have to upgrade is increased software bloat.
We should actually just have phones that last 15 years now.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

i just reviewed 50+ applications for an arts award and most of them were written by chatgpt. And then the other reviewers said they put them into Gemini to rank them. At a certain point, if everyone is giving their thinking entirely over to AI, why are we even bothering with any of this anymore?

I encourage you to read her full comments, not because they exculpatory — they absolutely are not — but because they're dangerously close to self awareness about the trap that hasbarists find themselves in.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

learning new things is an important pillar of one of my favorite pastimes, getting smarter, so if you are about to say ”how have you not known this” you’re simply jealous of my great journey and that’s okay you’ll begin your own one day maybe

if I had to pick two, Pale Fire and Piranesi. if I trust the reporter to recognize it (I don’t) I’d throw in a Cambridge green-and-yellow.
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

I feel like the unspoken fourth line of this one is that it's impossible to please everyone and if your only goal is to hammer down every feedback mole that pops up you will end often with everyone unhappy. Have your audience and creative goals in mind. Not everything NEEDS fixing
a friend of mine who's worked on a somewhat recent free multiplayer game says this about player feedback that I feel like is very astute
hearing the feedback is frequently important but responding to it well almost never means just doing what the players say they want
