There really won't be any Beatles music in the Beatles episode (www.empireonline.com)

“I knew instantly you can never play Beatles songs on screen because the copyright is too expensive. So I’m thinking, ‘How would you do a Beatles episode without Beatles music?’ And that becomes the entire plot,” Davies explains. “That’s where the idea came from – copyright law!”

OT: I swear, someday I'm going to find the sourpusses who'll downvote anything, even a straight, sourced quotation — and I'm going to give them a long, individual hug, because clearly that's what they really need.

ETA: I'm loving the passive hugaliciousness around this post and comment! Screw downvotes, they're digital hugsies 🤗

I'm guessing it's someone who disagreed with you a long time ago and they're still following you to downvote.

Could be. That would mean someone takes my Lemmy posts a lot more seriously than I do, though. That's a scary notion.

Folks use it as dislike button way too often. Even if they choose to scroll the all feed, they'll just use it that way without thinking that they could use the other options and see way less stuff they don't like.

That's what I figure it is, when an otherwise on topic and properly linked post gets down voted early. It gets balanced out by people that either use the actual community, or get annoyed at pointless down votes and up vote to correct for that, but it takes time.

I choose to believe that the downvotes for this specific comment just means some people want hugs. But yeah, in all other cases it's treated as a "disagree" button.
