#12Comparing to r/depression, their subreddit rules are so strict about replies, that the only ones you see are "I feel you." Not allowed to analyze, try to help, etc. Likely for the better.

I wonder if it can have the virality without interaction, though. Or will it simply end up with posts being replies with quotes. I don't know the history of r/depression, if it grew before the rules, or with the strict rules.

#13When I was 14, I was a year into playing all weekend every weekend with my first rock band. We recorded on a 4-track. Out there, at Guitar Center, were machines that could record 8 tracks. And pedals with crazy things like digital delay. Stuff that cost more than our parents made in a week. But you had a slim chance of being noticed and a slimmer chance of becoming a rock star. If you only worked harder AND had that…

Even just the concept of an AI startup [as what that means now in the age of LLMs] is already epochs worse than anything 90s douches could dream up. But sure, paying models always helps if you're nihilistic enough to use people as props.
they’re from a modeling agency. that’s what they do.

Kidding aside, yep that fucking sucks. People say life is fair, hell no it isn't, a lot of other people get a better headstart haha. But hey just call it beauty of life I guess, it's the random shuffling of cards we are dealt with and I better make something good with it, I better try instead of whine.

[edit] I wasn't saying I feel specifically bad for the models in this scenario, just for society at large, average kids who are set up to believe that fake humans and fake influencers are living the lives they want so desperately.
