If Twitter still hasn't figured out how to monetize their massive user base how do you expect an incompetent absentee webmaster to do it?

iirc the zero punctuation guy was a goon before he got big. he left because lowtax paid peanuts for content and then almost singlehandedly kept the escapist afloat for years, survived the site's death and has now his own fairly successful thing

ofc the whole "incompetent absentee" thing complicates any attempt to do anything other than stagnate

Best chance is probably racist old person mspaint meme Facebook.

He’s gonna be the citizen Kane of the internet except just the part where he dies alone and pathetic.

i like the part where this is "a leftist forum for liberals"

I said this I dunno how long ago in this thread but it’s just another sign those of us who signed up here when we thought the front page was hilarious aged 13 in 2001 grew up and lowtax and his lame sense of humor were frozen Demolition Man style and have never evolved in the slightest.

Pathetic

yeah the phrase form the podcast was "enough to do something else" and unless that something else is going to a hardware store I can't say I approve

If "something else" relies on internet likes, views, subscriptions, whatever, it will fail rather quickly. He only did OK here and on patreon because of the fondness (lol) people had of him for being the creator of this site. These people will not support him in any other streaming or otherwise content, and he's not funny or interesting enough to acquire or retain any of the MRA folks. Unfortunately the internet and evolution of its humor have passed him by.

all the loving horrifically digusting pictures of worms consuming human flesh which is making my skin crawl just to type about, that she posted in this thread last night? That warrants the attention. again, this site used to have loving standards and we went here because it was the sanctuary AWAY from the stupid loving trolls who posted that poo poo - unless you were in FYAD. and this isn't FYAD.

imagine being so loving stupid that you post this

this isn’t a defense of Pick. look at you being a big stupid poopoo diaper baby about posts about worms and nature

worms are rad and you should return to whatever eldritch tomb sealed you away “for five or six years”, or whatever you said, because those worm posts were the high point of like 50 pages ITT and anybody spiritually blind enough to not see that probably doesn’t belong here

worms will get you in the end, by hook or by crook we’re a worm’s breakfast baby, so you best get to liking them. maybe make a nice vegetable garden and fertilize it with a vermiculture composter. it’s a p sweet quarantine project

There's no moral difference between Lowtax owning the site and making money off it over time, vs. getting all that money at once in a buyout

Unless it's a 100% free transfer of ownership, we're all still complicit, burn it down

Look at it this way, no matter what he is going to make money, even if everyone mad leaves and the admins burn everything down on the way out, he will just fix it.

Say Jeff doesn't buy it for 100k (a pure guess), Lowtax will easily make 100k off the lingering clueless people and chuds that stay, as well as the front page. it will be over many years but hes still absolutely going to make that money no matter what, no matter how mad people are.

Say Jeff does buy it for 100K (again a pure guess number). Lowtax still makes the money, but there is a much bigger chance he blows it all at once on something stupid and ruins his life more.

One way preserves SA as a community, the other sees it die in a firey hellstorm.

Either way Lowtax is making money and nobody is going to be able to stop it from happening.

There’s no way he spends a lump sum responsibly. If he blew a million over ~10 years and has no nest egg now, he’s just going to buy more pills and stupid poo poo and croak on the couch from heart disease eight years from now.

do not underestimate the vindictiveness of a narcissist

he might blow through it, and im sure there will be a lot of $150 pies involved, but there will also be a lot of 'having way more cash on hand than the exes' and if i were the person giving him that cash, i'd feel p terrible about it, given how much money talks in the us court system
