Ah, there it is. The sponsored hate train. Like reddit, but cheaper. But hey, thanks for keeping this site running.

Pls show me where I can get some of this sponsorship money. I’m not usually one to hate train, but this fellow makes it easy, so I’ll take my easy money.

Sure. What’s another landfill on the internet.

Step 1: Make your own “social” website.

Step 2: Prevent bots from signing in. (You really don’t want to miss this step, otherwise you’re free real estate.)

Step 3: Write your own bots that will scrape other “social” websites for content. This is to attract people before original content begins to form.

Step 4: Sell post priority and upvotes. And there you have it. Your own money generating cesspool of gradual deterioration.

That’s it. And yes… Easier said than done. Step 2 is really the hardest one. Perhaps make it obligatory to sign in with a phone number or something, cause capchas are a whole battlefield in itself. I don’t really know how hard / easy it is to get a bunch of phone numbers to use for this purpose…

I need some extra information on step 4. I’m kind of needy of others’ perceived opinion on me and convinced that ‘number go up’ will convince people of the quality of my ideas.

As such I want to inflate my imaginary numbers, with as little effort as possible. So doing steps one through three is too much hassle.

Where could I aquire me a bunch of upclicks to fill my empty husk of a soul?

hexadence,
@hexadence@lemmy.world avatar

You can only do this to sites that skipped or didn’t take seriously enough step 2. Depending on how good the sites filtering requests is, this can range from 100$ linux server running python scripts for account creation. 100 accounts = 100 upvotes. All the way to very sophisticated proxy networking, capcha cracking, in some cases even AI driven internet monopoly demon that isn’t too cheap, so it better be making everyone else miserable enough to make you not think about doing a ninja flip from a 4 story building into a wood chipping machine for a couple of minutes.

wop wop wop wop wop

I have this feeling this is probably not the last controversy involving minors we will see shake out of his mustache this week. Justin Roiland had his empire also collapse from grooming. Guy is done.

BruceTwarzen,

That’s why drake is done too? The guy who beat the shit out of a woman and tattooed it on himself? Drake the groomer with his new album? That done?

TammyTobacco,

The issue there is that all Drake fans are pedophiles.

shapesandstuff,

That’s the thing right. Nobody gets “cancelled”
They get called out and shamed… and then carry on with business a few weeks later.

Rammstein is filling stadiums again, drd will come back from his vacation and keep on trucking on.

They never face consequences and yet they cry about a woke cancelculture that only exists in their heads to hype up their own bullshit

ShaggySnacks,

“Help! Help! I am being held accountable for my actions. The whole woke mob is coming after me and trying to cancel me!”

Soulg,

Did the allegations against rammstein ever amount to anything? I remember seeing the initial story, but then never any follow up about how the court cases went or whether it turned out to be true or not

blackluster117,

Wait, what happened with Rammstein?

dosaki,

I didn’t know what happened but I found this: www.dw.com/en/…/a-66716970

Apparently there were some women drugged and abused :/

shapesandstuff,

Legally, no. But there was zero intention to investigate, or clear up anything from the band. No comments, distancing from such actions.

They just threw c&ds at the women in question and buried the topic. Ah and made fun of it of course.

did you mean chris brown for the tattoo thing?

Chozo, in Dr Disrespect Admits To 'Inappropriate' Messages With Minor: 'I'm No Fucking Predator Or Pedophile'

How quickly we went from "I didn't do it" to "I did it, but it wasn't that bad".

Emmy,

Wait for it…

That didn’t happen.

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

And if it is, that’s not my fault.

And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

laughterlaughter,

Overused comment that has almost nothing to do with the point.

Dkarma,

Just admit you’re too stupid to understand.

laughterlaughter,

    17 after being groomed for ~3 years when dingus tried to meet up and the parents went loud with twitch. Grooming a 14 year old girl is generally considered in bad taste.

    HawlSera, in Nearly 6 months later, Palworld devs confirm Nintendo never drew so much as an inch of its legal sword over bootleg Pokémon allegations

    Kinda surprising considering Nintendo has more hatred for the concept of Fair Use than a member of the Klan has for a Spike Lee movie.

    HawlSera, in Less than 6 months after laying off 40 employees, Dead by Daylight studio Behaviour Interactive drops another 95

    That’s… not a good sign

    trevor, in Dr Disrespect Admits To 'Inappropriate' Messages With Minor: 'I'm No Fucking Predator Or Pedophile'

    Is anyone else bothered (but not surprised) by the fact that Amazon/Twitch agreed to cover it up for him? Seems pretty wild that they should be off the hook for working to protect his image after doing predatory shit like this.

    NatakuNox,

    It’s all about the Benjamins

    wildcardology,

    What’s weird is twitch paid him instead of him paying them.

    NatakuNox, (edited )

    They paid him to go away and to shut up. Twitch letting one of their most popular creators message sexual content to a minor over their platform for years is a PR nightmare. Shows the lack of oversight social media has. Why would they even allow a 12 year old the ability to private message a 30 year old to begin with?!

    Edit: and I’m sure twitch found more dirt going through all his communications. This pedo was even planning a meet up with this minor before the minors parent put a stop to it and notified twitch.

    pelotron,
    @pelotron@midwest.social avatar

    Beware that points like this suggest that messaging platforms should be monitoring all communications sent between users. If that’s the world you want to live in, ok, fine… But in this case the guy that committed the crime is the one who has been punished. Isn’t that the correct result?

    NatakuNox, (edited )

    I’m just saying that, maybe if you are a creator making content primarily watched by children, the trade off for making money (millions in this case.) off of our platform, is we get to monitor your communications with said audience on our platform? It’s like saying a banker who uses their work email to coordinate a crime. My work has email monitoring that looks for financial crimes because surprisingly people are dumb enough to use work email for elicit activities. Yes his messages to individuals are “private” but should they be when in a position of power? He messaged a minor through twitches chat (twitch is essentially his whole job) and twitch has NO safeguards to prevent abuse?!

    Xer0,

    Everyone will forget about twitch’s involvement within a week. Just like every time literally any big event happens with any company.

    TheBest,
    @TheBest@midwest.social avatar

    I think they kept it on the low because they don’t want people realizing that they’re viewing the contents of their whispers, even if you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

    Boy there’s a strong correlation between being a streamer/YouTuber/online video creator and being a sex pest.

    Laurentide,
    @Laurentide@pawb.social avatar

    I don’t think streamers and video creators are more likely to be sex pests. You’re just more likely to hear about a sex pest if their career involves trying to be seen by as many people as possible.

    zbyte64,

    IDK, it could be like with priests, where the job attracts a certain type because of the perks…

    KingThrillgore,
    @KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

    There is also the fact that a lot of streamers start young, with no guidance or mental development so they act on their worse impulses

    AsherahTheEnd,

    Actually I just think there are far more sex pests than you would hope, and they are literally everywhere. It’s very alarming.

    What is this from?? That’s cheeky as fuck

    Vaeril,

    Looks like Escape From Tarkov

    Neondragon25,

    Yea that’s escape from Tarkov. Specifically the mall area on Streets map.

    AsherahTheEnd, in Dr Disrespect fired by the game studio he co-founded: 'It is our duty to act with dignity on behalf of all individuals involved'

    Literally all he had to do was NOT inappropriately message a minor. And what did he do?

    God I love it when rich and famous people get what they fucking deserve for the shit they do.

    KingThrillgore, (edited ) in Dr Disrespect fired by the game studio he co-founded: 'It is our duty to act with dignity on behalf of all individuals involved'
    @KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

    He also is “stepping away” for a while which I guess is code for “CAA can’t save me” so I guess in six months we get another conservative podcaster on X, and a new KiwiFarms thread for Hershel “Dr Disrespect” Beahm.

    I have a pillow sack full of nickels at this point, which leads me to think we have a serious problem with streaming/youtubing as a career.

    TheDarksteel94,

    Eric? Isn’t his first name Guy?

    pyre,

    when is kick signing him?

    MikeOToxin,

    Pillow sack full of nickels for smackin’ paedos, I hope.

    Fine. I won’t pick a side. I won’t crucify anyone without evidence. So…release the transcripts. That seems like the logical step.

    Master,

    Twitch settled with him instead of losing in arbitration for banning him. I want to see the the transcripts. It sounds like part of his settlement was that he couldn’t talk about it but ex twitter employees violated the nda. That’s a lot of work on twitches side to keep it hushed which makes this weirder.

    He’s a massive pos so it Wouldn’t surprise me if he did do something worthy of this witch hint but damnit i want to see the texts before i burn him when twitch is being so weird about it.

    saigot,

    That’s a lot of work on twitches side to keep it hushed which makes this weirder.

    I don’t think that’s weird, twitch really doesn’t want the pr of being wrong or having a pedo on their platform, its a lose-lose and I would expect them to try and cover it up regardless.

    Chozo,

    The transcripts won't be released unless they're leaked. Giving out any details about the minor he was chatting with risks exposing the victim, who is possibly still a minor. Releasing the transcripts would be an incredibly damaging move, and not to Beahm; people would almost certainly doxx the kid immediately, possibly putting them at even greater risk of harm than they would have been in to begin with.

    We don't need to see them, anyway. We're not involved. We have nothing to gain from reading the details. If self-admitting to having inappropriate conversations with minors isn't evidence enough to convince you one way or the other, then I really don't see how reading a sext thread with a child will make much of a difference.

    ashok36,

    It was seven years ago. Unless he was talking to a ten year old, they’re not a minor anymore.

    rwhitisissle,

    And if they are…well, first of all, yikes, and second of all his career as a content creator is going to go from “damaged” to “gone” as no platform would let him stream after that.

    Why is this guy still around after bathroom?

    rigatti,
    @rigatti@lemmy.world avatar

    Huh?

    AmbiguousProps,

    If I recall correctly, he filmed some people in a bathroom without their consent

    rigatti,
    @rigatti@lemmy.world avatar

    Oh. Yeah fuck this guy.

    aStonedSanta,

    Pretty sure that entire thing was accidental. Not that it makes the situation any better.

    AmbiguousProps,

    Well, other than just having a phone in your pocket and mistakenly hitting record, I’m not sure how it could be accidental.

    aStonedSanta,

    He was live streaming at a venue and went to pee and forgot to turn off his camera feed iirc.

    missphant,
    @missphant@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    He streamed inside a public bathroom at E3. Then there’s also the thing where he cheated on his wife. I don’t know why people are so drawn to online personalities who prove over and over again they’re bad people with no intention to change.

    Why am I not surprised that a guy who had a full crying meltdown over the existence of pronouns would turn out to be a pedo?

    Habahnow, (edited )

    Lol what are you talking about? any links or ways to find this?

    EDIT: found it: sh.itjust.works/comment/12339443

    Habahnow,

    NVM found it. Damn doc is getting lamer the more you learn about him. ggrecon.com/…/dr-disrespect-calls-out-bethesda-ov…Basically, Starfield mentions your pronoun after character creation and mentions that you can change your pronoun if you like. Doc then looks up someone from Starfield or something looking for their pronouns in the company website. He then says “Its all starting to make sense” in such a way that shows his disapproval of that option being in the game.

    Its not some crazy event, but it just adds another thing to a pile of things that show he’s kind of a crappy person. Starfield had mentioned they didn’t want to partner with him due to the previous twitch controversy, I feel his continued actions (getting pissy over this option, that he could completely ignore) really proves Starfield’s decision was a good one.

    Laurentide,
    @Laurentide@pawb.social avatar

    Oh, sorry, I had the wrong guy. I was thinking of Dan Vasc, whose red-faced screaming meltdown is embedded in the article you linked. Must have gotten the names mixed up.

    Let me try this again.

    Why am I not surprised that the guy who turned out to be a pedo also gets upset about other people having pronouns?

    GnuLinuxDude,
    @GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml avatar

    I forgot about this but as soon as you said red-faced it came back to me. This “adult” became a tomato because he could choose to be referred to as he/him in a video game. I only ever saw toddlers and small children scream the way he did. So pathetic!

    Habahnow,

    Lol I looked that one up. That was most definitely a meltdown as well LOL.
