I think that having a choice about what instance you join and whether it's liberal or conserative about defederating is the beauty of federation. someone might want to be on an instance that's quick on the trigger about banning for transphobia, racism, etc, because they're going through some shit in their lives, and later want to experience the greater variety of an instance where banning takes more consideration.

Like, I think you're right about what you want for you, but people wanting different things and being able to get it is pretty great.

Whenever I'm reminded it exists, I go over there and find some people to follow. So, thanks!

Same. :( People should send me money every time they walk into a room I worked on.

She makes next to nothing from putting previous works on spotify, and more from keeping previous pictures of her feet on onlyfans. There's another article that we were discussing further down, about the likely percentage artists get, but that wasn't your point, since you think she should get nothing from both spotify and onlyfans. I assumed you were questioning my numbers, but you think the number should be lower, so you were questioning my use of the word "ludicrous." I get it now!

My main disagreement is that I'm positive now that all that 4000/day does not go to her, so she is probably not lying about the number difference. She does still make plenty off some old music in other ways, of course. To a ludicrous degree perhaps? No?

What's her cut of that? If she gets all of it, then, yeah.

Hmmm...the problem is, even if you just post pictures at random, you're going to find out unwanted info based on what pics bring in money. Sounds like you'd need a manager!

Allen’s daily stream count on Spotify as of Oct. 17 was about 851,623. Assuming that number is correct, the Music Streaming Royalty Calculator estimates Spotify would’ve paid a total of $4,077 a day, with $3,239 going to sound recording for the copyright owner; $336 of mechanical royalties going to the publisher, who pays the songwriter; and $503 in performance royalties going to performance rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, etc.).

Which of these numbers goes to her? I'm just confused, I think.

What's fun is that some people who read this article are probably into feet (good for them!) so it's like an ad and now she'll probably make even more on onlyfans. While still making ludicrously little from spotify.

I'm positive there is an audience for men's feet, but if you aren't 5 stars on wikifeet, you'll probably have to market yourself. Study the foot fetish community to find out what the dude foot fan needs more of. Etc.

That's a shame, because it really doesn't seem to benefit a game like Alan Wake 2 at all, atmosphere or story-wise, while turning lots of people away.

enjoying jumpscares is probably like enjoying rollercoasters (which i do). the adrenaline burst feels great for some people, and other people hate it. It seems a shame to have lots of them in games where that sort of feeling isn't the point.

This is one game that makes me wish I enjoyed playing horror games more.
