Gotta love the comment in there about how Husk wasn't in it for the money, he was in it to save the site from 'woke'. 

Dude bought the damn thing for well beyond what it was worth at the time just to show he could and has proceeded to turn it into absolute crap because he has the mentality of a 12 year old who drives matchbox toys over the centerfolds of old Playboys while giggling. 

Apparently you need 'woke' to make money because those hillbilly racists are broke as f.

You say some oddly specific things sometimes.

I like having fun with words. And if being fun also puts the exact type of image/feel in your head that I'm going for, even better. 

'Prepubescent dumbass' is fine but 'the mentality of a 12 year old who drives matchbox toys over the centerfolds of old Playboys while giggling' just seems so much better. :D

It was bothering me until I remembered what that reminds me of.

Dude is a f*cking Renfield. He probably scurries around looking for insects to eat.

Content creators that complain about the way shit goes down on X really need to drink a nice tall glass of STFU because they will continue to use the platform.  Left wing creators crying about it piss me off most of all because they actually have the power to defang the platform simply by not using it. But nah they wanna cry about how all their celebrity is tied to it and nowhere else has the reach. Oh well. Cry more then. That’ll fix it.

It's true. A lot of them left Bluesky because they didn't like that they got less engagement

that's the rub, a new platform can't supplant the ubiquitous one in that way unless a critical mass for any ecosystem moves there are once

They just left instead of helping build up engagement, which they could have done. It’s probably hard work but not dealing with Musk has got to be worth it. They literally make him wealthier when he supposedly stands for everything they’re against. It’s so infuriating because they have the power to cut off his nuts.

Truth be told, I've started to question if we even can build new large-scale internet communities in the current internet landscape. Everything has become so marketing-dependent and everyone is just so very sick of it. The people wanting any social media format to rise to power the most are those that stand to make money off of it. It's no longer about building a community, it's building an audience of consumers. Anything remotely large-scale is just going to fall prey to the same mechanics, and be at the mercy of big advertisers that will steer any platform towards what will generate the biggest short-term profits. You're doomed if you don't bend to their whims and lose funding, and you're doomed if you do and lose public support.

Idk. Bit of a ramble. Just been mulling over how much of a shitshow the internet has become, and the impacts on social media, and I personally think it can all be traced back to advertising having an ever-growing influence on what does or doesn't survive.

You’re not wrong. It’s why I acknowledge it would be hard to do.  It would probably really hurt people’s pockets until something else is figured out.  
 

It’s kinda like how our presidential elections in our two party system is and to break that it would take a lot of pain for a lot of people for an unknown amount of time.  So we put up with shit because it is what it is right now 

no one wants to be the first to jump in the pool 

tl;Dr change is hard

Something very interesting about what we engage with, viral content is very easy to produce and commodify and spread BUT its inauthenticity is not working with younger internet users AKA the future

So for now, it seems bad but I think a lot of these platforms are going to slowly waste away until only older users are on them. The platform will stagnate and die with them.

As long as people want to form a community online, i think it's possible but maybe on a smaller scale. The bigger a community gets the more problems it has it seems

Are these hyperbole numbers, because there is no way anyone here should be a virgin if he's got 111 kids...idc how much money he has.

It’s not 111 but he’s in competition with Nick Cannon. It’s really 12 kids with 3 women.

Musk must think he’s Zeus, who also happens to be the worst father in history.

Grimes kind of looks miserable, so there’s got to be some self loathing in there.

He’s a terrible father. His daughter Vivian hates him and with good reason.  He brings a lot of hate and suffering to the transgender community with his shit takes.  He’s such a trash person but people care more about their own pockets than they do about really boycotting something. People could actually do something about this.  
 

I’m ranting but people are really full of fuckin shit.

I can’t believe 3 women had sex with him on multiple occasions.  Money must be really sexy 

I'm saying that he wants to have as many kids as possible and has the money to buy more pussy than any one person in history, but is so unappealing that he can't even breach 20 children. He's still falling short of the teens, for that matter.

What a fucking loser.

The last thing the world needs is dozens of Elon Musks running around

I'm not saying what he wants is good.

I'm saying he places declining birthrates as an existential crisis for mankind that he believes he will personally stop.

He has the money to buy basically unlimited prostitutes. Someone with even a little likeability and his resources should be able to fuck like rabbits.

He only has 12 kids. To stop mankind from dying out.

That's fucking hilarious.
