honestly i’m just waiting for reddit to have the inevitable “oh yeah we sold all your data” facebook-like meltdown which will be triple hilarious because the site is semi anon

People I thought would barely be on the internet have reddit accounts. Like people who work in the oilfield with my brother and such. And people subscribe to subreddits which is pretty equivalent to liking companies on facebook. I'm sure you can infer a lot about a person based on reddit history.

why would vice need to go after her platform tho

like if they would take "no" for an answer, and it seems weird that "hey please don't ask about any of this or print it" before the reporter's trip needed a "clarifying" question and how asking such a question puts them in the clear, but do you not think her actions indicate she didn't want it printed "for support" or w/e

vice's characterization that she didn't say no, and i'd say "please don't print this or it will make me unsafe" over a period of weeks qualifies, and that she made unreasonable demands, "please let me see what you're stirring up so i can prepare for the internet shitstorm," don't really help their case that they were acting in good faith. i mean poo poo, if y'all are really invested in defending the billion-dollar publisher over the independent maker, you could at least bring up her request for folks to take photos of the editor out on the streets of NYC

asking for a story from a reporter before its published is usually considered an unreasonable demand

non journalists probably don't know that so if thats all they have to defend themselves its quite telling. there wouldn't be a problem if vice kept to their original promise afterall

not really an option at this point, cat's out of the bag. she can't "win," it's to what degree she loses

like it kinda sucks that she can't just share her passion without fending this kind of thing off? the founder of maker faire casually took a cheap shot last year. bunnie and others in the community don't have to spend X% of their time on a public platform just defending the right to be there

i dunno about the maker community whatever stuff but she does seem to want to stay quite anonymous. i mean, she seems to place a huge emphasis on attractiveness and sex appeal, and considering her primary audience is white hormonal teenage boys on reddit i don’t think it’s surprising they want to know all about her personal life. it’s poo poo, unpleasant and garbage but we already knew all that about reddit. vice is merely an extension of that community
