It’s just a different way to browse current topics that people are discussing. You can follow famous/not famous people, news people, musicians, artists, scientists and so on. You have to take some time to search by name or a hashtag like #music that is interesting for you and then follow those. They typically lead to more people and hashtags of interest that you can follow to build a more personal feed. It’s just a different way to curate the various things that interest you.

The thing is that it’s just another option for people to interact like lemmy/reddit twitter/mastodon pixelfed/facebook etc. Obviously the less popular options have less niche interests. Journalists see that these options can’t be used the same way, and need some work to figure out and navigate, so they critique the different and less polished things they see. If they don’t have what you are looking for, maybe check back in 3-6 months when there are more users and activities. Like lemmy, things are changing quickly right now.

I always liked racing games combined with violence like Carmageddon and Twisted metal! Others along those lines are RC Pro Am, Spy Hunter, Road Rash 3D.

Agreed, and the main reason for 26 episodes per season was to get a show for rerun syndication as quickly as possible which needs 100 total episodes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes

This caused a lot of high stress during filming to be able to to produce that many episodes in such little time.

With streaming, companies like Netflix and HBO/Max are no longer looking to sydicate, so they can produce at their own pace a bit more. It sucks for the audience that is used to more shows, but I rather have a bunch of mini series that have a beginning, middle and end, than dragged out abominations like The Walking Dead. Shows like Breaking Bad that have both have always been very rare.
