i remember when i was a kid, i was hiking with my parents and we spent a night on about 2500m and looking up i obviously had a great view of the cosmos BUT i also could see some satelites moving and even the then MIR space station. i was impressed that "we" are actually up there for everyone down here to see. i guess the current generation want's a pristine night sky AND 24/7 internet, gps and tv.

i was talking about the botnet that is google itself, with chromebooks being a literal physical part of it.
impressive! the ultimate botnet machine!
yeah, maybe, it will just keep staying under the radar and at some point someone will have to spend some cash to keep the lights on.
"circlejerk" is the magic word. it's funny how many threads are just meta discussion about the platform and why "the old ones" are trash and doomed to fail, like some ppl have to convince each other over and over again that it's the others that miss out.
no, it won't, nor will xitter of facebook. it's delusional to think multi-billion-dollar-platforms backed by big money, the content industry and several clandestine consortiums will cease operation because a single digit percentage of users decided that some hobbyist internet platforms held together by tape and a hail marry are the future. we'll be lucky if places like this are still around in a few years.
yeah, totally.
_Pirating content is illegal, and against OnlyFans' terms of service. But nearly all of the creators spoken to said their images had been leaked and traded by men in other social media and messaging forums.
Some told the BBC their photos had been maliciously sent to family members, or that they had been blackmailed into sharing nudes for free or told they would be made public.
"People are naively lulled into a false sense of security from the paywall, that what's behind it stays behind it," says Honza Cervenka, a lawyer in the UK specialising in image-based sexual abuse at McAllister Olivarius._
that's not the point, doxxing is illegal in most countries anyways. it's about that most young (!) women already grew up taking selfies and the occasional nude for their bf thinking about monetizing this "for a while". it's a toxic circle where often naive women cater to creeps and potential stalkers, going further down the hole and "some nudes" become "hardcore on request", being groomed by paying customers and then it's not an easy paycheck anymore. it's just like it often happens with porn actresses: "i'll just do some scenes" and some time later they have to take "private appointments" with premium customers, falling down into full fledged prostitution.
onlyfans is especially dangerous, because once they lose control over their content, it's out there and will never go away. and the chance is high that a few years later, when they try to distance themselves from "that phase", it won't be possible, because the internet doesn't forget - have fun with face recognition software. prostitution will never go away, but as a society we shouldn't endose it. it's not the vhs age anymore.
i don't care about some online dudes explaining why (self)exploitation of girls and women can be stunning and brave, you can gaslight yourself as much as you want, i won't buy it. reminds me of a radio program i heard about a year ago when they tried to make a case how child labour isn't such a bad thing as long as they are allowed to unionize.
"or another one who thought it would be easy money to do some onlyfans shootings until she got doxxed, catched a stalker and had to move."
google is a machine learning, data harvesting botnet most ppl opt in consensual.
