Since y'all brought dildo capitalism up, I stumbled on a very weird corner of twitter a while ago that I think was basically just the fuckin' nike shoe collecting weirdos but for novelty dildos. Like it was full of multiple bad-dragon-like companies talking about how they're doing limited-edition "drops", and people talking about how they're "really excited to get the latest drop" but they were worried because they "haven't even sold the last ones they bought yet" which makes me think it's some kinda lululemon pyramid scheme but for dildos maybe? Like they didn't seem to actually want to... use the dildos... just have them, collect them, sell them to people etc. Which is very confusing to me personally as a Dildo Connoisseur.

I know there's a company that does the "set up a party and sell products to your friends" scam but for dildos. Mary Kay, but for dildos if you will.

If anyone else hasn't read it, it's a def pro-read. Also fun to learn that the bad dragon guy is apparently an awful, awful person who runs other dildo companies out of business so very much on topic for this thread.

Honestly having collection of dildos is the least capitalist thing in this thread. Humans loved dildos before capitalism and humans will love dildos after capitalism. Shaming people for the massive collection of dildos is very capitalist though. For some reason anti-sex and pro-capitalism go hand and hand. I guess what I'm saying this massive selection of elf and dragon dildos is a way to stick it to the man.

The skhothane scene snowballed into an international youth culture phenomenon that saw even the BBC come down to explore this "bizarre" subculture. The program revealed the high-intensity with which the skhothanes approached one another, and themselves, including the tearing of money, the biting of iPhones, the stomping on designer shirts and buckets of KFC chicken, all set to the tune of a restless kwaito, hip-hop, or house beat while a crowd of hangers-on and supporters sip on expensive whisky and cheer for their chosen crews. These might not have been regular occurrences, but the media-selected picture was there—and the world wanted more.

They're probably talking about this poo poo, which is . . . kind of a meta-issue with the Nike situation, and has been expanding past the realm of sneakers and into anything that has a limited release or a limited supply. Basically, people pay money for bots to spam the gently caress out of vendors' sites the moment something goes on sale in order to buy as many as possible so that they can resell them to the people who actually want them at a 1000% markup or whatever. Most retailers will take returns, so they're generally protected against softening demand, but I'd be pretty surprised if there were any returns on dildos, so  at the dumbasses doing that for those.

We'll be having most of your tip, get hosed nerd! these numbers don’t make sense? say I charge someone $600 for dildos and I get a $100 tip processing a payment through a PayPal chip reader. the fee on $700 is $18.90 if that 67% number were correct the fee would be more like $40

i am harry posted:these numbers don’t make sense? The tweet right after that explains how she got those numbers: https://twitter.com/LowcoTV/status/1424751571070500872 So it's 67% if you're specifically being tipped exactly one dollar, because of the added fixed fee. Looks like the actual percent fee went down, but I'm guessing most streamers aren't getting like $500 at a time so that's not really the part that's gonna have the biggest impact to them.

Makes more sense if they're doing hybrid. Makes zero sense overall, though. EDIT: Jesus loving Christ, Canada, that's some Trump-level poo poo. loving liberals.
