  • Your effort did definitely make a difference, whether it’s enough of a difference to justify it is up to you.

    In the end, if you’d rather invest your time in stuff that brings more gratification that’s a completely valid and healthy choice, time is limited and you should do what you like the most with it. Hopefully as Reddit keeps screwing up more and more, it will start to be more lively here and posting stuff will feel more rewarding too.



  • Well, looking at the last month we have 249 users and 3 posters (5 if we count people who only posted once), so the rule kind of applies.

    I can see it’s disheartening indeed (and I wish I could help more, but I’m not on Xitter and don’t have much time even to watch stuff so I would realistically just spam Jshay clips lol), but unfortunately it’s hard to move a community as big as r/hololive (especially considering they have the huge advantage of talents seldom posting there). Maybe with time (and more people getting tired of Reddit) the situation will get better and there will be more posters, in the meantime I can guarantee I appreciate your effort and I’m sure others do too.




  • Do you have proof that this is fiction? I don’t think so. There’s no proof that it isn’t either, sure, but this sub is mainly just for laughs and the story doesn’t require being true for it to be funny.

    Coming into threads and posting stuff like that is like going into malls at Christmas just to tell kids that santa isn’t real. (Or worse, since you don’t even know if you’re right in this case).

    Links here use the syntax[text](link), the link feature just brings up the parentheses for commodity.

    (Also, this is required for linked text, if you just want to post the link you can do it with no syntax like you did in the current post)






  • The definitions of several concepts are fuzzy, and therefore can be circumvented or challenged or abused by all sides of the equation.

    They are, but it’s not like they’re very definite nowadays either.

    What is a ‘similar product’ that is allowed after 30 years (and therefore what is a ‘dissimilar product’ that would be forbidden before),

    I’d say “similar product” is anything that doesn’t try to pass off as the original one, and is mechanically different enough. Palworld for example, or all the other Pokéclones that popped up in recent years.

    how would a non-profit that just pays high salaries to its managers fare between the marks of 30 and 50 years (and just gives some little money to research or charity).

    They wouldn’t, in that period I’d allow stuff like piracy or free cultural events, stuff like that. Obviously the copyright holder would still be able to profit off of their own products, but everyone else would have to ask them to do so.

    And again, why give artists and creative companies so much more time of IP protection than we give STEM inventors and companies time in patents (this random site claims patents last 15 to 20 years only) ?

    Because those are things that humanity needs to progress. I do think they could be longer in a different way, like “they can be used by anyone without consent from the inventor, but they need to pay a small percentage in royalties” or something like that, just to ensure they have a permanent source of income that’s enough to live off. I’m not knowledgeable enough about that to talk though, so I can’t really answer that question without going into baseless speculations.
