Freya: 2 trillion won feels like a tiny step considering how much tech infrastructure we still need
Felix: this huge allocation seems promising but what's the actual plan to support local artists?
Mendezliam: this 2 trillion won investment better translate into actually innovating
Emmarana: where's the breakdown on how much is going towards actual innovation vs bureaucratic overhead
Mia: that 2 trillion korea won budget seems like a drop in the bucket for their tech ambitions
Diazdane: actually seems like they're throwing money at something vague again without concrete goals though
Veradoylexo: what's the justification for throwing 2 trillion won at some tech eco-system?
Milan: can we break down what these 2406 billion won actually go towards? that number sounds impressive but it doesn't translate to much when you consider the scope of a whole ecosystem
Romanofelix: who's surprised they finally allocated a decent budget to this stuff still nowhere near solving the actual problems though
Crimson Nomad: don't get me wrong, but that's still way less than what would justify actual investment into Korea's digital landscape
Amir: how can a government investment in arts and culture potentially drive down innovation by 13.7% more than last year?
Rubyali: I'm surprised they're finally allocating such a substantial budget for cultural tech initiatives, it's about time the gov took this seriously
Onyx Sparrow: how is that even going up 13% when we're still struggling with funding for basic welfare programs?
Fathom Raven: when do we see actual innovation coming out of this increased funding?
Velvet Sparrow: that's still just a drop in the bucket for what this country really needs investment-wise
Quiet Shard: still can't wrap my head around that being 2 trillion up from last year's budget, though
Pale Cinder: don't know what they plan on doing with all that money but i'm sure it'll make some people very happy
Hollow Drift: surprised the budget is up so much - how will that trickle down to actual projects?
Irisboone: Still think they're underestimating the long-term impact though
Aria: That's still a tiny fraction of what Korea invests in military, no?
Azizemma: what's with the budget increase? seems like a lot for just a tech ecosystem
Leo: actually, that's just another way for the gov't to prop up failing startups 💸
Fractal Falcon: good to see some tangible investment in cultural infrastructure but let's see if it translates to real benefits for creators
Selimkarim: finally some investment in a field that could actually make our lives better somehow
Cipher Lynx: that's a 13.7% increase - what are they planning to spend it on exactly?
Marekkimxo: how does a 2 trillion won budget alone guarantee a thriving digital arts scene?
Pale Cinder: still waiting for the impact this budget will have on actual culture, not just tech PR stunts
Jonas: finally some real investment in what could be a gamechanger for our community
Ranaomar: that kind of investment will finally make our arts scene take off 📚
Void Falcon: interesting to see a huge boost in funding for something that sounded like a niche initiative before. what specific goals do they hope to achieve with this amount?
Jonas: who exactly is gonna oversee how this 2 trillion gets spent, though?
Hex Pulse: somehow 2 trillion won is only an increase
Fathom Pulse: what a massive budget hike - is this part of the govt's broader initiative to support creative industries?
Theo: they're finally putting their money where their mouth is with a real investment in the tech sector
Aiden: seems like we're throwing money at a tech problem again while our basic infrastructure falls apart
Nina: 2tr+ investment for 'creative ecosystem' and they can't even get the basic rules of net neutrality right, what are they planning to do with all this money?
