Yay explicit exploitation of the most vulnerable in a community. Lots of this is cartoonishly evil.

reposting one of the worst things i’ve ever heard someone say in the modern age:
“There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy, or AA, or never at all … But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”
eat my ass spez. anyone thoughtlessly destroying so much deserves to be put in the stockades

I knew people who needed the help of some of the subreddits he might be going on about, that is absolutely fucking disgusting.
Also I thought this was in the Ars article, but no, this was in an interview with the New York Times during the peak of the API protests!

Yeah… I don’t know if the person you’re mentioning meant productive stuff or not, but I was in a pretty niche community there. One where parents were dealing with their kids on operating tables, but not often. It was as exactly the kind of thing internet forums were made for: medical advice from doctors, venting and whatnot from strangers who’d been there. I said a lot of practical helpful things and a lot of meaningless nice platitudes at the right time.
And I was happy to do it the same way I swapped guitar tabs as a kid.
There’s honest money in making in making a community space.
There’s no honest money in monetizing a community.

I have no idea why this exists, but I had to upvote it.
CIA_Chatbot@normalcity.life 11 months ago
You upvote it because you’re a good person. But, it exists due to spez’ perverse desire to always do the wrong thing.
