  • In most cases, most release groups already fine tune encoding settings towards various balances of file size and quality, so the best option is to decide on a set of release group whose standards meet your needs and just use the files as they come without further modification.

    Applying lossy compression to a video that’s already had lossy compression applied to it degrades it unnecessarily, so if you’re going to compress it yourself, it’s best to start with the remux, aka the original media file.

    I’d personally recommend releases from members of the qxr group and Vyndros.












  • While media sources have always had agendas, I think the key difference now is the fact that people are relying more than ever on a oligopoly of social media platforms as their primary news source, rather than media outlets across the country.

    Not only does an information oligopoly make it far easier for propaganda to be disseminated to national and international audiences, but it makes trading political favors for propaganda-backed political support far easier than ever before as well.
