The important question we should all be asking today is: how can we make sure Twitter goes down with Trump whenever he finally implodes?

Gotta get something good out of this presidency.

Please make sure we have a good replacement lined up first.

No I'm saying exactly the opposite of what you're saying. Because there are plenty of cops who don't murder people we are completely justified in judging those that do. There are plenty of politicans who don't vote to kill people, so we condemn the ones that do. It's not hard to get.

I said that I thought cops and politicians were an exception in that I find its good and healthy for people to question their actions and also suggested that perhaps the CEO of Twitter also falls under this. I am still trying to figure out why you thought I said the exact opposite.

it is so insanely dumb how i get constantly shadowbanned for making GBS threads on race realists while they face no punishment. i do love a twitter co founder getting one of the worst ratios i've seen tho so maybe it's worth it.

in no way is it a good idea, but I'd like to think that this site would be able to handle the problem a lot better than reddit has. having actual consequences for being a dumbass would help, they wouldn't be able to just summon hordes of alt-accounts and bots at will, and there aren't really any places they can run to here where they have absolutely no oversight.

probably not news to many people in here, but Anthony Fantano is getting outed as an alt-right guy at the moment. should be a spicy hot "I was only being racist/sexist as a funny joke" rebuttal video coming out soon

Reading some comments (why, I don't know), the defenses of Fantano are pretty evenly split between "it's satire" and "how can he be racist when he has a black wife?" Which is extremely predictable.

Not familiar with this guy, but how could anyone figure he was anything other than an alt-right douchebag after that video.

He's had a bunch of people on who aren't working with music. The only qualifier is whether or not their work interests Fantano. Shame about some of those interests.

That's not the impression I got. He didn't disavow any of the awful things he's done, he just shut down his youtube channel but admitted it's only because he can't get any monetization out of it anymore.

He has claimed he's going to do a video response to the whole thing.

I sub to his music review channel so I'm sure I'll post it here once it drops.

It's going to be exactly what everyone expects it to be, just 20 minutes long instead of just a 5 second video of "I'm sorry if anyone was offended."

I just said he was distancing himself, not that he was actually improving or anything. I'm sure he still holds whatever poo poo views he did before this blew up, he's just being smart enough to keep that more private from now on so it doesn't affect his income. At least that's my (horribly uninformed) reading of it.

Lot to be said about that data set.................I need to get in on this Youtube train. I'm not exactly attractive, but I can sound articulate and post a cartoon animal over my face. Guess I should go all bearing and make $10,000 a month off patrons. Also, the viewership:money made ratio is really interesting. Contra and Hbomber have far less subscribers, but a far higher percentage of them are patrons and as such are able to make a decent amount of money per video off of this, should this be accurate. Whereas the Rational chucklefucks seem to have a much higher number of subscribers, but a far smaller percentage of their viewers seem to be patrons

I should point out that that the per video donations are up to the creator, bearing isn't going to make his patreons pay for every piece of trash he puts out or he'd lose them all.

EDIT: contra etc probably do since they only put out 2 a month instead of 60
