Patreon are dumbasses if they think that people who are pirating one creator aren’t also supporting other creators. It’s a huge fucking mistake to interfere in piracy at an individual-creator level because pissed off people will stop using the entire platform over one of those interferences.

They should focus their piracy-related efforts on things affecting the whole platform instead. Taking down kimono.party wouldn’t cause people to cancel their subscriptions by comparison. Individual level stuff is going to lose them money where sitewide stuff would not. Sitewide stuff is just more effort and harder though so some dumbasses at the company think they’re doing the right thing by going after things at the individual creator level. They’re going to learn the hard way that this generates significantly more losses than it produces in gains. If I know how to pirate one creator and I’m pissed off, I know how to pirate ALL creators.

They’re being massive dipshits.

Hope he’s not lying because I just cancelled all my memberships on patreon and told them to go fuck themselves over this.

If he’s lying Patreon will be pissed off at him and Chapo for saying it’s Patreon doing this.

Why would Chapo suddenly want a fan subreddit? They hated the fan subreddit.

It generated more growth than anything else in the show’s history and they probably had to learn the hard lesson that it was good for them rather than bad for them whether they liked it or not.

“Arm yourself with something bigger than what they got”

The thing is, if you solve that income-tech barrier then it will change the game. Most communities do want a wiki and will work on one in much higher numbers than fandom gets if they think it’s actually there to serve the community instead of make money for someone. So if that “I don’t know how” and “I don’t have money to host” and “it’s scawy!” barrier can be removed you’d see a lot more work go into basically all of them.

It’s also a huge demotivator for people working on a collaborative project when large mega corporations are involved. Not quite 1:1 with fandom which operates for-profit but I can say almost any wiki on fandom is largely edited by anywhere from 0-4 people, and in many cases it is 0 because there is significantly less motivation to contribute to something that isn’t a wholly community project and is instead benefitting some corporation.

It will only get worse for wiki from this kind of starting point, more and more will slide in and if it does you’ll see a significant drop off in contributors.

I’d wager some contributors are already saying to themselves “I didn’t write hundreds of thousands of words for microsoft”.

There ends Wikipedia’s argument that it is independent and without bias or incentives.

I do mean this dude! I have not encountered that quest though does it have an rng or complicated trigger?

It’s still obviously a sex dungeon with the whips and ropes in the bedroom lmao

I don’t fucking care what they call it. I’m just suggesting they choose some policies people actually find attractive instead of viscerally disgusting and offputting. If that’s populism then sure whatever.

Good decision. A clear back and forth has been established demonstrating that government concession will actually give results with the organisation. Even with the org designated as a terrorist org it is able to get results.

Squandered franchise, they really messed up in a similar way to Skate.

No lmao every single part of that is extra on your subscription plan.

If libs believe that maybe they should act like it with more popular policies and takes.

I don’t think it’s actually beneficial to be shit at marketing at any period

I don’t know if it will be very important in a post-capitalist Star Trek-like world but hey it’s pretty hard to imagine.

It’s certainly not good to be bad at it now though and I feel like communists heavily neglect it.

Integrated into your all-in-one AI, TV, PC, and Alexa pod.

Fuck. Right. Off

Nobody is going to show up to elections for these losers ever again if their takes are support for genocide and support for gestapo as long as the gestapo don’t wear masks

It makes sense. Lack of marketing as a role within society because of a lack of private companies results in a significant lack of skill or knowledge in this area.

It is a problem we should try to remedy tbh. It’s beneficial in a post-capitalist world but it actually weakens us during the socialist transition phase.
