Not the op, but similar grievance. There's quite a few posters on these forums (not specifically this subforum) that need to tone it down a bit with their desire to crucify people and holier than thou attitudes.

People are a product of the circumstances, and that sometimes results in edge lord opinions. In the case of Jay, he's some idiot from Texas, and chances of some gun-toting bullshit opinions are therefore pretty high. In the not so far past, (most) people just rolled their eyes at dumb poo poo like he posted and ignored said person. But no, nowadays, everyone needs to be cancelled and crawl under a rock.

Not saying that there are some people that deserve flak of that kind. But Jay? Jesus Christ, that guy is just a poser (in the relevant regards).

Is he just a poser? How do you know? None of us know until he proves it one way or another.

Rather than handwaving his dumb behavior with "boys from texas will be boys from texas" excuses, its not unreasonable to say "hey, guy with millions of viewers, dont do George Zimmerman cosplay" and also do better in general.

To be fair, for people who need social media to keep their profile up, they need the checkmark or the engagement plummets. A Twitch streamer I follow felt forced to get because the number of tweet views fell off a cliff. Now that is gross.

This has proven to be BS - lots of people buying blue checks and their engagement goes DOWN. Turns out you just need to make good content.

it's produced a fun new type of ratio where blue-boosted posts get huge numbers of views but still get barely any active engagement

you can pay to put your posts in front of people but you can't pay to make them care

Jeff Gerstmann of Videogames fame said on his podcast last week that click through rates for streams on Twitter were always terrible too. Not nothing so it was still worth doing them but low enough that you’d never pay for the service as a business.

They're just regurgitating stuff from the Verge article.

Also, I'm not interested in hearing ephemeral content logic from a guy who claims he's all about hosting content on his own platform.

no (because i got logged out on mobile 3 years ago and i'm too lazy to log back in because my password is complex)
i did write a simple http server that can upload/transload images for me, no built in auth though since it's only running on my local network
