Makes sense. Do you know if there’s a specific name for it? I assumed there had to be a reason everyone knew to include it in their editing, but I know there’s some heavy bias there too since I’m less likely to stumble across uninteresting videos.
Agreed! I think it comes at the cost of character development to some extent, since if you watch straight through, it feels like some of the characters just “reset” after enduring enormous, life-changing events, but it really is constructed in a way that makes it watchable from any point (except maybe the 2-parters.) New series have very much moved away from that style.
I’m always tempted to tell people to skip the first season and revisit it later as well, but I guess it introduces some interesting things that the series periodically circles back to, so who knows. I watched it after many random episodes, so I still think of it as a sort of wonky prequel.
The theme here is that he doesn’t even care enough to create the illusion of caring. The community was never given “democratic” solutions to dysfunctional mod situations until this business reason arose. There’s no community liaison trying to do damage control or make the users feel heard right now – just the CEO himself telling everyone in the plainest terms that nothing they say has any impact because he does not care. People should take all of this at face value.
The absolute worst. Sometimes they just have it on the emblem/branding, which is manageable at least. Then there are the ones like above with glossy plastic and reflective silver lining everything so the sun can find a direct path to your retina from any angle. It’s almost recall-worthy in some vehicles.
It should be interesting to hear how they plan to make this determination. I just know from the rural side that the burden to serving poorer communities usually is both technical and financial, like building out a few miles of fresh fiber to serve a handful of residences. That’s why they have programs in place to push expansion into those areas, and the telecoms involved there are already bound by progress and reporting requirements. I guess it could be a different situation in areas where the population density is pretty consistent across the board.
