I don’t have the wherewithal to explore the internet as much and I don’t want to have to constantly wonder if posters are bots/nazis. The SA community is the only place I spend online time because there is a community working to maintain itself.

It’s bizarre and cool to me that I have a sense of ownership, investment into SA and I think social media (in addition to other poo poo) tries to create that feeling of connection but pursuing infinite growth fucks that up so the biz ruins it.

But the only reason this comes up in this thread is for everyone to distract from the lovely stuff Musk is doing and say we should worry about something else instead. Should Meta be accountable to bad poo poo? Absolutely. Does that excuse Musk being a loving Nazi deliberately pushing hate speech? gently caress no. But a lot of posters here are real interested in shouting down any talk about Musk turning Twitter into a hate site with poo poo about how Meta is worse, actually

Are people actually doing this, though? I’ve been reading this thread from the beginning and what I’ve seen is people saying “wow, musk is a nazi, I think I’m going to jump ship and go over to threads, that’ll make his head explode!” and then people saying “you’re just going to be giving traffic to someone who is just as bad as (or worse than) Musk/maybe you should think about whether you are addicted to social media” and then a bunch of people misinterpreting that statement in an attempt to say that they aren’t addicted to social media and actually have you thought about how important social media is to “creators” (ie. erotic fan art artists) and that you must be an old man yelling at a cloud or are also addicted to social media, etc.

I knew nothing about him until last week, but just looking at a couple of his videos they look like they cost a gently caress of a lot to make. So I guess they're lucrative as hell, I can see them being exactly the flavor of pacing and delivery of endorphins to make them as viral as possible

Catturd being severed from his inheritance by daddy after he said something critical is the best thing to come from the Nazi Lottery bonanza.

MrBeast isn't into bankrolling causes though, giving money to charity isn't showy and won't generate real currency: Enough internet Clout to convert it into more money

It's been said a million times but he's more of a Capitalism Fairy than anything else, waving his magic wand for those lucky few who he deems deserving of his pity at the time (as long as he can produce a cool video out of it)

I hate to break this to you, but literally every single artist of any stripe or caliber pretty much has to maintain a social media presence and being successful without it at this point requires either incredible connections or lottery-level luck

I was thinking the same thing, that it's an average of the overall time users are spending on the site rather than the sum of time spent. As people leave it would only leave the more dedicated users improving that stat.

I'd also imagine a lot of it is driven by blue check chuds constantly checking to see if they got 'their' payout notification.
