Won't anyone think of the serial killers???

Have you considered that even when Israel doesn't kill children, people get upset about their children being corrupted in other ways instead?

Edit: /s I guess?

As a Canadian it's very weird to me that it's allowed in the USA.

Yes. It definitely never suffered anything untoward, and remains as great as it has always been.

I mean, before the Internet people spent a hell of a lot more time just hanging around with a small group of friends. You don't need to buy expensive tools or reach a prospective audience to do anything like that. Boredom motivates people to find ways to entertain themselves, which has unfortunately been one of the largest casualties of online 'life.'

I'm not attempting to defend the system as they're trying to build it, but rather to seek understanding of why they take these actions without imagining them as hateful, soulless people.

You could get a hobby. Maybe try to actually make something interesting out of your life instead of just consuming entertainment?

They want people to actually be productive though, not just zombies.

You obviously don't even know how it works.

when the servers are down, you’re fucked regardless.

As long as you keep the files you don't have to access their servers to play it again. That's exactly the same as even physical media. It's not like a company will send you a new DVD for free if you throw out the one you bought.

I guess there's a lot of advertising done on the NSFW subreddits.

I have no idea about anything happening with OnlyFans, but if they're getting sued then I fully support whoever is taking that cancer to the courts.

Edit: So apparently the lawsuit revolves around customers chatting with paid agents instead of the actual girls themselves. If you didn't see that coming from a mile away, I've got a phenomenal selection of bridges you may be interested in!

when their servers are offline, you can’t download it anymore…

I have no idea what else you would be expecting?

Bingo

There used to be a meme that the front page was entirely new every time you refreshed the page.

The second life/metaverse/ virtual reality concept will never be widely accepted by the majority of the populatioj because it just isn’t what the vast majority of people want. They want communication methods that compliment their real world lives.

It's the same reason that urbanization collapses every time it gets out of hand, as it did in Babylon and Rome before us. The majority of the population doesn't even WANT to live in an artificial environment, no matter how hard those who wield power attempt to push it on everyone.

Same reason they nerfed the algorithm to change from having new posts on the front page every ~15 minutes, to keeping the same posts there all day long.

My point is that people are far too apathetic about these things. Yes it's a problem on X, but I'd sure love to see people recognize the same problems elsewhere instead of spreading their legs for anyone who mumbles vague platitudes towards their own pet issues.

They "trust me," dumb fucks

As compared to all the trustworthy individuals running other social media sites?

I thought the sarcasm was obvious enough. Guess not.

Sounds like a good reason to seize greater control of the Internet other people's computers.

Or maybe, just maybe, you don't know as much about others as you thought you did.

Believe it or not, some people actually like having more than a single mono-culture in the world. Everybody everywhere doesn't actually want Lego and the Marvel Universe to dominate their own societies.
