Honestly everyone visiting SA needs a good old purge cause only rich fucks can afford the entrance fee. An entrance fee that is an unmeasurable % higher than the entrance fee to reddit, for example.

People could still live in that place rather than one selfish rear end in a top hat with a house.

All houseowners should offer housing to others.
To cover costs they could ask for a payment from the people staying there as well, to make it fair.

I live 10 miles outside of a town of population 400 thirty miles from a suburb of a small city.

We don’t even have cable lines out here, and run our household internet off of either a 4G travel router or directly tethering iPhones to TV/desktop PC.

Nobody else wants to live here. 😬

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I've been trying to talk two friends into accounts because they absolutely would enjoy it here but they balk at :10bux: even if I offer it as a gift. One of them I had to tell to stop sending me reddit links because I already saw it here and you can't open the drat things without the app consistently

it's not about it being a "serious" obstacle it's about any obstacle existing at all when they have no particular motivation to get past it.
if someone walks up to you on the street and offers you to sell some gizmo you've never heard about before and don't really care about for :10bux: you are probably gonna turn them down regardless of whether you can afford it

Pretty much that. It's about the obstacle not the required resources.

Honestly both are kinda broken by social media optimization, one when they visited me last year spent an incredible amount of time on my couch watching tiktok. This is where I learned about this thing people do where they put a split screen with unrelated video game footage while a video of people talking plays. I am afflicted so seeing that "made sense" but was low-key horrifying because the only reason to do it is hold eyeballs to trip some metric for $$$ while completely destroying your ability to cope with executive dysfunction in anything that's not tiktok.

I like this site because a) it suits my sensibilities and b) if there's cream rising to the tops of your reddits/tiktoks/facebooks/twitters it'll get skimmed here and I don't have to wade through all the extremely optimized for monetization bullshit to enjoy the few kernels of good stuff in the few areas I actually care about.

That's not to say that this site and the Awful app aren't also degrading my coping skills, but that's more about me than SA optimizing or causing to be optimized the content for continuous, profitable consumption.
