How Does This Work Again?

My friend's cat was very upset about going to the vet, so I attempted to capture the dramatic injustice of her capture.

Reference:

classical music is slow and boring: vivaldi summer, fast baroque music, paganini caprices

idgaf about music written by a bunch of old white guys: duke ellington symphonies, clara schumann, william grant still, florence price

i like weird electronic music/shoegaze/videogame music and synthesized instruments: steve reich, john adams, julius eastman, pat metheney electric counterpoint, wendy carlos switched on bach

i can't listen to something that doesn't have a guitar solo: bach brandenburg concerto no 5, classical guitar concerto

i like orchestra music for movie scores like star wars and stuff but ive never been able to get into symphonies beyond that: gustav mahler, rite of spring, sergei prokofiev

i don't like instrumental music/i need lyrics: english language art song, madrigals, opera in english

Need to read about trigger warnings? Please click the whimsical dog icon for more information!

there are still timestamps available for warnings on those same triggers for those same properties. just bc there's a paywall on something doesn't mean other comments and timestamps can't be posted or read for free on that property or that trigger.

see here:

i don't have an account and haven't paid for anything on the site, so all of those comments are what i'm seeing for free.

i had to search and search to find anything that had paywalls, and had to resort to looking at The Substance, as referenced here. i've been using the site regularly since the op posted and have never organically encountered a paywall on anything, including on very popular properties.

i don't see any reason to stop using the site--everything is still available for free. they just have added another way for some ppl to choose to pay some $ (in addition to ads), since this is a completely free service, and no website is free to maintain.

He thanked me for my feedback when I expressed confusion and concern about the paywalled comments being mixed in with the free comments, and has since updated the site to make them clearly distinct, along with a preview of what the paid comments look like:

Like I need people to understand the mental image here of a multimillionaire internet creator personally overseeing DVD production in his own house like he’s running an underground bootleg operation out of a basement in 2007.

It’s weirdly charming because there’s something very “old internet” about it, this energy of “I made a thing, and now I will physically hand it to people myself like an artisan at a craft fair.”

The man really said: “The future of cinema is me standing next to a humming disc burner at 2am”
