arblor··on Complete silence is always hallucinated as "ترجمة نانسي قنقر" in Arabic
Just to add some trivia: ChatGpt interprets(/ed) silence as "Sottotitoli e Revisione a cura di QTSS". Now many videos (mainly dailymotion) with autogenerated subtitles have their Transcripts full of the same message

They talk about muslim people being so influential but choose to forget the cultural imperialism and unnatural prudishness of the US of A. There's a documentary on Netflix, "Sex and Love around the world", the "Berlin" episode was mostly around how weird are Germans for going nude.

It's just the usual newspaper argument linking X to rise of technology-bad. As a young Euro myself I love nude beaches, but rarely went there with friends my age; I think the most common answer was "It's something for old people". Second most common I something about body awareness/fear of being ugly, which is more common in my generation and young people in general. Of course, nobody I talked to mentioned fear of becoming an unintentional pornstar.

Moreover, I’d expect DVD to have higher variable costs (physical, distribution, Blockbuster fees) that increase the time for breaking even. But maybe the revenue from streaming is much lower to undo all the cost savings.
