That’s a very complicated question.
Which nations are on which sides?
What’s the competing ideologies?
What was the inciting incident?

Without those details and many more, nobody could hope to predict.

It’s a tangential distraction largely unrelated from the topic at hand.
In this context it’s worth being dismissive of.

Is Discord social media? Social sure, but not media really.
It always seemed to be more a live communication/chat app to me.

For us! No need to tell her

Can you post your analysis for the rest of us.

Call them today. Don’t wait

He’s a special case. He’s been a Trekie since he was young. He’s wanted to be a Klingon forever. He might be doing this for scale rate. And I’d be surprised if he’s on more than a season. If he is, it’ll only be a few episodes each.

Sure she’s an Oscar winner. But that was a long time ago. And Oscars are never a guarantee of future work or pay rate.

For nearly a decade now she’s only done a few guest spots on series, some supporting roles in small movies, a few voice roles. This show is the biggest thing she done in quite a while.

While Paramount+ may be a 3rd tier streaming service, this is Start Trek, and it’s got a real budget behind it.

So are we all

There you go. Good on you

Paradox of tolerance
Sometimes hypocrisy is necessary

Streaming isn’t the problem. The lables screwing over the artists on their streaming cut is the problem. Stop supporting the lables.

I was playing a role to try to make a point to the OP.

Judgmental attitudes ar an accepted cancer of online discourse. And I try to point it out sometimes.

Why do your feelings about how others pay for things matter to anyone?
Why does it even matter to you?

I was trying to be subtle, but that doesn’t seeme to be working.

The point is, lots of people enjoy music lots of different ways, for lots of different reasons. Just because you don’t use subscriptions doesn’t mean they aren’t valid and useful to anyone who isn’t you.

In short: Don’t gate keep

That’s no way to enjoy music. You can hardly hear anything on that tinny little phone speaker.

But why listen to just one song? It seems a waste to sit down, put on headphones or fire up the stereo, all for only a few minutes of music.

Maybe it’s just my age, but I never understood buying single songs. I listen to whole albums. They were crafted and assembled as a set. It feels like buying one scene of a movie, or one chapter of a book.

self-reported social media habits, gaming frequency and emotional difficulties

Looks like they were tracking self reported data, combining both social media and gaming. No wonder they didn’t see anything.
