But how do you handle "I know I'm going to charge you, but I don't yet know how much." Like with (please don't derail) tipping

Popular creators/the upper 1%, are pushed heavily by companies and algorithms and not just because they get views but because they are astroturfed (celebrities, other big names, certain politics channels), know people in the companies outside of typical partnerships and/or heavily game the systems.

Dr. Disrespected his wife was just on Sunday Night Football somehow. I thought I was hallucinating. It blows my mind that streamers have any kind of popular appeal.

I've thought about this very cursorily in the shower, but when you compare the average quality of content between traditional TV and creator platforms like youtube/instagram/tiktok/whatever it's night and day. There's a much higher bar for quality because there is a finite amount of programming slots. If something sucks they will put something better in its place. On youtube the good stuff isn't what floats to the top, it's the stuff that gets the most clicks. That's why you have 10 minute long videos to show you how to do a 20 second activity, thumbnails where everyone is making a weird psycho face, and yes, extremist content. Going back to a much more limited platform like cable tv wouldn't be better in all cases, but I think I, personally, would prefer it to what we have now. Either that or a much more segmented and regional internet.

But I still have to live in a society constantly subjected to the brain poisoning though.

Ballot drop boxes should just double as temporary mailboxes so there can be real repercussions for any fuckery.

poo poo, you'd be stupid not to invest in a company that had that as a feature.

There's a local story here where a big time 50 year old GOP donor with huge connections to Desantis was under criminal investigation and shot himself

Here's the part that caught my eye though

So let that loving sink in.

Oddly, it's not getting a TON of coverage locally and, even more strange, is that there's very little conspiracy talk going on surrounding his suicide. I was expecting a lot of "Biden had him killed" type of poo poo but it seems like everyone accepts that he killed himself.

Yeah I've been following this too. He apparently used that access very frequently. I've definitely heard some conspiracy poo poo around this that is not worth repeating, but I don't think this one is going to fade away unanswered.

Her original personal account had tweets regarding J6 which were deleted and only found by going thru Archive.org links, but I guess this confirms them.

Looks like the tweet was deleted
