Thiel is one of reddits earliest investors. spez is a Thiel boy.
This whole time I can't believe how reddit managed to hold up a facade of being a cool progressive college student platform. They pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. It's as if they put lipstick on /pol/ and /b/. And everyone was like, alright a hip liberal platform. Sure if you ignore the iceberg of right wing bootlicking shit beneath the surface of the default subreddits.
The clothing color could be due to lighting. Remember the blue black dress meme? Multiple backpacks is too easy. So that's a non-issue.
That being said. Why isn't anyone considering that maybe the cops couldn't give a shit either. But they have to try because the money people said so.
I've been calling this for years. The next holocaust will be more efficient than Hitler could ever imagine beyond his wildest dreams. Big tech knows more than people know about themselves. We're all on lists we don't even know we're on. People will be discriminated for reasons they didn't know they could be.
There's a bigger story here. The tech industry is making a play as a lot of tech billionaires had openly supported Trump late in the election cycle. Elon weirdly becoming Trumps shadow. Bezos human-centipeding himself to Trumps corn hole. a16z doing an about face after supporting Democrats all these years, openly admitting its because "fuck you, lower taxes for the rich".
Elon surviving Trumps conveyor belt of cronies is irrelevant. The tech billionaires have signaled they are all in on Trump. It's pretty obvious his regime is better for them. No more regulatory road blocks. Policy that personally benefits wealthy individuals.
What is going to happen with all the Google antitrust stuff. I assume it's as good as gone.
I suspect big tech knew with near 100% certainty the Trump victory. It's their whole reason for existence to know these things. I might even be inclined to say they nudged it in their favor. Elon suddenly inserting himself into the picture is pretty damning. I think he knew if not outright leveraged Twitter until their internal analytics showed a certain Trump victory.
People are turning on each other. Like those saying Latinos should out each other to be deported. Nothing but more examples of how divisive the Trump regime is. I suppose I don't have to look up how this kind of thing has happened before in times of fascism. I'll bet it's gotta be true.
Oh well nobody's gonna hear him over the tsunami of political persecution he's complicit in ushering.
Well damn. This is as much a referendum on the character of America. What a searing indictment that it's even close at all.
So anyone have NAMBLA on their bingo card?
The goal has always been engagement prisons. Where people never leave the platform. With generated content this must seem like a final step. They don't need to make people to interact with each other in ways that keeps both of them engaged. They don't need to leech content from other sites while preventing people from going to the site. With generated content people will interact with themselves while engaged in completely fabricated content. It's even more dystopian than ever.
Fun fact. Jan 6 is the the biggest criminal investigation in US history by sheer number of defendants. You'd never know from the way the news covers it.
They've been increasing the ad load the whole time. The most I've seen so far is 5 ads. Streaming will return to broadcast TV convention sooner than people think probably. 15 minutes of ads per hour.
He is the epitome of privilege. A criminal that not only faces no consequences but gets rewarded. A temper tantrum throwing cry baby yet some how doesn't affect his character (to about half the country).
