       @noyoushutthefuckupdad @xaetacore @Vo Sound advice from the past: if someone asks about your private details, always lie and make up a misdirection. They have no reason to ask.

       @amerika @xaetacore @Vo I never lie, though. I'd prefer to just call the snooper some mean names.

       @amerika @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad Ahh paranoia, feeding the connected-yet-disconnected aspect of the internet since its inception up until it the point where it went to shit.

       @Vo @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad When did it go to shit? Eternal September?Paranoia is the nature of the beast. There are a lot of not-good people out there.

       @amerika @xaetacore @Vo 2007. when Turtleneck Faggot made it possible for anyone and everyone to be on equal footing with non-retards. before that, you had to have half a brain to use a computer and get on the internet.

       @amerika @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad The experience of those taking paranoia-stance never went to shit, the rest of the net did. Where it became about showing your face, making a brand, getting followers, sponsorships, attending cons, doing collabs.

       @noyoushutthefuckupdad @xaetacore @Vo Sometimes the snoopers are innocents. They don't quite realize what they are dealing with.

       @amerika @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad maybe "vlogging" is the crux point. Where anonymous text bloggers making money on ad revenue fell to the wayside, replaced by what would become sloptubers.

       @Vo @amerika @xaetacore the best time to get into vlogging was around 2010-2014. you could make decent money on Youtube without being a totally shameless sellout whore, mass censorship hadn't started yet, and India was barely online.

       @Vo @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad It's totally monetized now. If you wanted to get heard in the old days, you did something good.Now you have to treat the consumer sheep like cattle and coax, bribe, chide, shock, and cajole them into paying attention. And you better dumb it down to get anyone awake.

       @noyoushutthefuckupdad @amerika @xaetacore A lot of people blame PewDiePie for the "adpocalypse" but in my mind he was just a scapegoat for a brewing storm, end result being controlled speech.

       @s8n @amerika @xaetacore @Vo I thought of starting a podcast with internet friends back then. I'm glad I didn't, because many of them became psycho shitlibs.the Fediverse is where I belong.

       >I'm glad I didn't, because many of them became psycho shitlibs.I love how my old "friends" who were once shitlibs did a complete 180 once they got attacked when their ass kissing wasn't enough to appease the other psychos.

       @amerika @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad I've witnessed countless channels from the sub-10k subscriber level devolve into unwatchable shit. Great minds being steered into peddling "content"

       @Vo @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad It's the Metallica Problem: the product adapts to the audience.This is followed by the Pantera Problem: in order to compete, everyone else imitates that.

       @Vo @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad Apple used to be awesome. Then they got cynical.I do not fully grok the Samsung analogy, but I am less confident about mobile products.

       @amerika @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad Samsung copies Apple. Deleting the headphone jack, soldering the battery, both influenced by Apple.

       @Vo @xaetacore @noyoushutthefuckupdad I can see why people want to imitate Apple, because it is the BMW of technology: high prices, fanatical audience, reality distortion field.But this is unwise in the long term because then Samsung has no brand/identity of its own.

       @HatkeshiatorTND @Vo @hunter0one @noyoushutthefuckupdad @xaetacore They delete controversial sites. This means that anything you post there is liable to vanish at any time without warning or recrouse.Do not trust neocities!
