Also a market there. Especially among programmers. You might be onto something.

Ask an AI for pictures of Texans and see how many cowboy hats it gives back to you.
Haven't seen a new car that can play tapes in nearly 20 years. Got bad news, boss.
Basically, yeah, but if every single LBP level wanted to nickel and dime you out of five bucks.
Right. There have been folks getting paid for (and enjoying) being the center of attention since culture has existed. The entire concept of cinema comes from this. I wouldn't call Rowan Atkinson or Penn & Teller "attention whores or people who only want free shit" but they are the "influencers" of their time.
The dynamic has shifted, but I don't see it as some inherently bad thing, this just reads as a "kids bad!" kind of statement.
I don't know what "right" key wording you want if not the exact model and part number.
Nuclear suffers from the airplane fallacy where when something goes wrong it tends to go really wrong and a lot of people die at once and it makes the news. But fact is, many orders of magnitude more people have died from fossil fuel plants, mining, byproducts, and combustion. They just die slower, in smaller groups, so it doesn't get reported on as easily.
but the point I'm trying to make is that there is more than enough content here, if you look for it.
If you're looking for Linux memes, American politics, or tumblr crossposts, absolutely. Lemmy has you covered in spades. But I miss some of my more niche communities. I miss memes and discussions about Deep Rock Galactic and Guilty Gear. I miss discussing Elden Ring pvp. I miss the Warhammer 40k nerds. I miss /r/JustRolledIntoTheShop. In the meantime I've been making do (ineffectively) with Discord groups but it's not a good replacement.
I'm not going back to reddit, especially now after recent news, but even you have to admit some types of content are lacking. For certain subjects, we've got it handled. For many, many others, we just don't have the mass of users required to build that community. And in some ways that's good. Not having Lemmy become the seething mass of infinite strangers that Reddit was helps keep us more personal, more manageable. I recognize names here sometimes that I'm happy to see, that rarely ever happened on reddit. But I've had radio silence on some of my favorite hobbies and communities for about a year now and it kind of sucks. It sucks to the point that I'm frequently tempted to return to reddit just to check up on some communities, but I'm always turned away by their most recent user-hostility.
Mine has a habit of correcting "people" into "puerile", a word I've never used except for complaining in this context.
It's clearly a man pissing his name into the snow (in simplified Chinese)
It's a fun thing to talk about but everyone seems to forget that historically, that didn't actually end that well.
Eat the rich, yes, but you need to have a plan first for what comes after.
Plenty of room in the back
