  • …Umm…did you ever consider that instead of all those extraordinary magic tricks and social engineering occurring…

    …That they just lied and embellished in an era where people told tales of gods and the supernatural? Like you’re assuming we need proof that all the things Jesus was said to have done happened in some form, when in reality the only thing that had to happen is that he was persecuted in Rome during a time when we know Rome was doing that.

    Like you’re focusing so much on this that it looks silly and detracts from much better arguments against Christianity…






  • And go where?? Most of the platforms either

    -Can’t handle it
    -Have no monetization plan for content creators
    -Doesn’t support streaming for streamers
    -Just hasn’t been hit yet by lawyers

    Like the only platform even close to it is Twitch, which has it’s own issues and doesn’t want to host videos to the extent youtube does.

    This isn’t like Reddit or Twitter. The competitors aren’t remotely close and in some cases don’t even support the types of content Youtube does.






  • I mean, they’re mostly indie and could probably easily be compared to stand-up comedians.

    Which if we look at it’s history is a very crash-and-burn career itself. I think a lot of them are entertaining. But it’s certainly a saturated market where it can feel like a needle in a haystack at times.

    And really, the issue with LTT, is an issue. But keep in mind on the internet we largely mock news sites in general for being uninformative and many being glorified blogs. It’s not as uncommon as we unfortunately may think.

    But basically a lot of what is souring you on influencers, either has already happened in other careers or is currently happening to others as well, just we don’t think about it as much.



  • what did it take from internet forums that IRC couldn’t have realistically already done?

    Most group chats to me are pretty much the same as IRC was back in the day, unless you examined the protocols themselves. Upload limits are also much larger (except for that brief period skype was popular and you could upload gigabytes)

    Honestly the only thing group chats are bad at is archiving, and it’s mainly because it’s designed for real-time conversation (so people are spamming more) and sites can’t search the stored text at all.
