@njion alright i've been thinking... when life gives you gender, don't make genderade!! make life take the gender back!! GET MAD!! i don't want your damn gender what am i supposed to do with this???? demand to see life's manager! make life rue the day it thought it could give cave johnson gender, do you know who i am!?!?!?!? i'm the one who's gonna burn your house down!! with the gender!! i'm gonna get my sociologists to invent a combustible gender, that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!!!
If you find yourself in the place I did (which, like, the longer you stay here the higher that probability gets), and you DIDN'T back up that .csv, you're gonna at some point vent about this Situation to an actual real-life friend, in person, using your meat mouth, and they're gonna make this face π± and they'll be RIGHT to do so and you'll know it.
Seriously I see so many "Hey all the newbies, remember to CW eye contact and food and get off .social ASAP," but I don't see "Back your followers the hell up because beefs between admins you don't even know will silently and irrevocably sever your relationships" posted, like, Anywhere. TBH if it were up to me that'd be the first damn thing the website tells you.
Also while I'm PSAing maybe don't make threads that get so long they've gotta span THREE DANG SERVERS but I know you all are too sensible to do that so that's more of a Note To Self thing

Take that, Kadokawa.

I wish more journalists covering YouTube's crackdown on ad blockers told the blunt truth about what it really is & why blocking ads is so prevalent:
It's a simple money grab by a corporation that already has too much money (Google).
Google is going after ad blockers because enough people have figured out that ad networks are genuinely as unsafe for their own computers as LimeWire ever was.
Keep #adblocking.
It's funny: Both Bandcamp and Patreon had the easiest and most straightforwardly long-term profitable business models imaginable: Sit between indie creatives and their fans, provide some basic services for mediation (comment sections, media posts, semi-global payment) and take enough of a cut of any payments to cover the costs and then some.
But because that business model wouldn't scale forever, they are instead being gutted, because ever _increasing_ growth is the only model capital accepts
