I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.

Check tags like Star Trek Archive and Media Piracy to find things I share for others.

The YouTube channel "Mindless Beats - Topic" is one of those auto-generated channels that get created when someone distributes music to streaming services. I started to get about ten copyright claims a day on my own music rerouting my monetization to these randomly named tracks. I've been successfully disputing most of the claims, but the biggest problem is that anyone using my music, which I've said is free to use, is now also getting those claims. I need this to stop ASAP and I've contacted YouTube and all distributors involved trying to get the uploads taken down.

I'm not sure how much this will help, since it's not a traditional YouTube channel, but if y'all wouldn't mind reporting this as a spam/scam and saying it's stolen reuploaded music, I'd appreciate it. It's actually my birthday week and I've just been having a long stretchy anxiety attack about this.

I watched We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021) and it’s funny seeing all the critics completely misinterpret the movie and loving or hating it because of it. It’s solidly in a rising genre of horror that’s very unsettling to people who have been very online their whole lives and completely inscrutable to anyone else.

The author wrote this article as an artist's statement on an archival documentary about Slenderman they made and I think it's a lovely companion piece to this movie and also the archival documentary was very good
