Put way better than I could say it, thank you. As somebody who's been on the edge of that community for years as an artist, the hatred they get has always baffled me.

I never said I support China, but I also don't blame a lesbian dating a minority woman from a group who is actively being ethnically cleansed by the Chinese government for doing what she has to do to survive. She's been blackbagged multiple times over the years and the government watches what she says very closely. And I also don't blame her for opposing Westerners who apparently often just tried to use her as a tool to support whatever narrative they were trying to spin at the time and then criticize her for bringing up issues she faced that didn't support their narrative.

That would be like me saying that you made your choice when you decided to live in a country founded by a British prison colony, and now you can live with the consequences. Which is where I was sarcastically going originally, but I think the comparison would've been lost on you.

And neither do most furries. It's like saying gamers are fucked up because they wanna fuck Lara Croff and cosplay Let Me Solo Her. The weirdest parts of a community aren't the only parts, or even the biggest parts. Plenty of furries just like watching Looney Tunes and Zootopia and making OCs.

The furries=sexual deviants line was what they once said about Trekkies, and it was as true then as it is now.

This is something that Naomi had even talked about previously, how Western media only cared about the experience of people living in China when it could suit their narrative, and didn't want anything to do with them when it didn't.

Wow, what a disgusting asshole you are. Though, what do you expect from an Australian.

You don't like Bugs Bunny?

I've seen it described as the social media site for people who hate social media.

The story goes that when Facebook was becoming mainstream, a guy came along and decided he hated Facebook. So he hired a software engineer at his company to help him make a site that wasn't Facebook in any way. Basically, the criteria for the site were that he could post photos on it and follow people whose photos he wanted to see, and he didn't have to see anything he didn't care about.

So Tumblr is a very self-curated social media experience where there's no brands or celebrities. You just search for stuff by hashtags, follow blogs that interest you, and post and reblog stuff at your whim. Everything is displayed on your dashboard chronologically, and the only stuff you'll find on there is stuff from people you follow.

The closest thing I'd describe it to is Twitter, but it's more blogging than microblogging and the more direct interaction between you and the people you follow can feel a lot more personal than other forms of social media. You can send people messages that can be answered in a public post in addition to the usual direct message system. There's no character limit on posts or anything, and people will write full short stories and stuff. It also has more of a sense of permanence, in my opinion. It isn't uncommon to see popular posts crop back up that were created in 2012-2014.

Lol. Lmao, even. Your incel is showing, "honey."

Maybe you should learn how to talk to people like a big boy. Maybe then you can join the adults' conversation. But, until you can keep from throwing a tantrum because you got called out for acting like an asshole on the internet, I don't think you're ready to graduate from the kid's table.

Learn proper punctuation. And how to be less of an asshole.

Yeah, I don't mean that YouTube is unprofitable. It's probably hugely profitable, and now they're focusing on maximizing that profit.

But with something like Twitch, which claims to have been unprofitable for a decade or more, I can believe that simply because of the low interest rates that allow them to perpetually keep burning money and that the value of these platforms is measured by the potential profit from the userbase - whether through ad revenue, data, or something else - rather than the money they're making right now. This is why Verizon bought Tumblr for like a billion dollars or whatever. That was the estimated value of the company, despite it never turning a profit, simply based on the potential revenue from its userbase. It's also why Verizon ended up selling Tumblr for like 1% of what they paid for it 3 years later. Because they ran off that userbase and the rest weren't deemed valuable for advertisers.

Interest rates have been low enough for long enough that many companies have been running on the "fake it 'til you make it" philosophy forever. Air BnB, Door Dash, Lyft, and countless others have never been profitable. But they survive by constantly taking out loans and collecting new investor money to increase their market share (the infinite growth scheme), hoping that they'll either eventually have enough impetus to monopolize a market and bully it into being profitable, or get bought up by Google and co for a rich payout.

This is how YouTube and Netflix got profitable. They ran at a loss until they were popular enough to turn a profit, and then switched to maximizing that profit. I imagine the same is true for the big social media sites as well. Run at a loss until you have a big enough userbase to attract advertisers. And this is exactly why Tumblr was never profitable and Verizon basically killed it trying to make it profitable. Tumblr's population has always been the groups advertisers like the least - minorities, LGBTQ groups, sex workers, and artists/creatives. So Verizon tried to sanitize it by purging them to make it attractive to advertisers, and consequently killed the userbase that gave it it's potential for ad profits in the process.

How many you want, apart from Sara Winters up there and 8Pxl, who I linked to. I have 25 pages of them from court documents. Roughly 4,000 names in total, in alphabetical order.

If I hadn't included screenshots, you would've just claimed they were made up. Keep moving the goalposts, AI shill.
