I wish there were more, you know, images of what they claim.
- Turing_Machine 4y agoAnd the one image demostrates the opposite of what they claim. I think this is just clickbait... find something popular, trash it, and use the backlash to drive ad revenue. Then again, it is vice.com, so yeah, that's probably a given.
- edgyquant 4y agoHow is this trashing anything?

- Apocryphon 4y agoI dunno, that screenshot does look rather conventional and cheap. It looks like a still from Doctor Who or something.
- malfist 4y agoBut is it what the post claims? Dark, overly saturated, lit with neon colors, caked on makeup and puckered seams in the costumes? I don't see any of that in their sole "example" It doesn't help that their example has, like, 10 pixels. Guess the pixel factory ran out when they got their screenshot.
- the_af 4y ago> I think this is just clickbait... find something popular, trash it, They don't trash it. This is what they actually say about the overall quality of The Sandman: > Against all odds, Netflix’s adaptation of The Sandman is a very good show. "A very good show". They then go on to claim there's a general "look" of cheapness to Netflix shows which means one can usually tell something was produced by Netflix. They describe some general characteristics, and they don't do the best job at actually displaying examples of said characteristics. Though I do know what they mean, having watched a few episodes of the show (which I like).
- isoprophlex 4y agoThere are plenty of ads though
- lmaocat 4y agoYou don't use adblock?
- isoprophlex 4y agoI have dns-level adblocking, which leaves white squares where the ads should have been... many many white squares on vice.
- irrational 4y agoI didn't see a single ad. I even went back to check.
- coffee_beqn 4y agoI have no clue about what these professional cameras or industry names for shots mean so I guess this article is not for me. I guess that would take effort though while a rant can be typed out in an hour
- wpietri 4y agoEvery article has an intended audience. When I have a complaint like this, I just assume that the audience was somebody else. Mostly I just move on, but sometimes I'll take the time to do enough research that I understand. As an occasional writer, I think that's great. I like writing 101-level pieces from time to time, but I'd go mad if I couldn't write for a more specific audience. E.g. I really like commenting here because I can just trust that people, say, know what git is and the constellation of common opinions about it. Not only would explaining all that "take effort", but for people familiar, it comes across as boring filler.
