    People who talk like that have only seen pictures from the show, or they watched it a little bit when they were a child and don’t remember 99%.

    Because Xena and Gabrielle did pretty much everything except the physical deeds. And it was recently confirmed in a comic, where they kiss and say they love eachother.

    Hell, you could probably show them the old show with the parts set in modern times and they’d blow their gasket. Becase the reincarnations are the opposite genders for a while.






  • Paywall it for short term gain, at the expense of long term viewership growth.

    Making a company worse for increased short term revenue, at the cost of customer retention, product quality, etc. causing increased turnover which further compounds all the other steps. Is a common issue among all modern companies.

    In short, there was a shift in MBA education a while back that includes a bunch of lies-by-omission and misrepresented data. Meaning that the only thing on their mind when they graduate, is to please investors at any all costs, including company longevity.

    Still not sure on whose end the problem was, but I had well over a 100k on the counter at one point. Video ran fine all the way through and nothing ever slowed down.

    Different levels of monetization on videos, combined with staggered rollouts of anti-adblock technology.

    They’ve been testing the latest tech recently. Which has, for me, made many of the more commercialized videos hang initially for 10-20 seconds before starting. While a lot of smaller ones play instantly. And similarly, the bigger videos will constantly keep blocking attempts, sometimes dozens in a few seconds, while the smaller ones have a few per minute.





  • As far as I know she has never said who it specifically was, just that there was a person who made her not want to come back(after a huge fan push to revive her, among the many possible moments).

    It has later been revealed by multiple people across several productions that span decades, that Joss Whedon is basically a “good old boy”. The kind of guy who finds it funny to mock women. He allegedly has retold a story he found hilarious, about how he made a female writer cry, twice. That sort of behaviour was “confirmed” to happen by by multiple cast members, including SMG. And it is likely why he has no involvement in the new show.




  • I’m pretty sure you can trace the management downturn of American companies back to a change in MBA curriculum.

    You can see when they started getting hired after the shift. Where they were taught that as long as your department is doing well and has positive numbers, LITERALLY nothing else matters. The company could be crashing and burning around you, you might even be causing it, but as long as those numbers are going up, you’ll quickly get hired at another company. Because every single iota of their education is about pleasing investors who only care about money now, and not potential money in a few years.
