    oh don’t mind him that’s just Freddy, he don’t like 'em colored folk and gays, he’s a good kid, I knew his momma

    Are you fucked în the head? “other than the presence of the Klan, those are normal people” what in the shit does that mean? Why the fuck is the Klan present there? Why is nobody chasing them away? How the shit are you doing anything in your life and you see goddamn nazis next to you waving the swastika and you don’t stop to think “yo, maybe I shouldn’t be here”? How do “normal people” end up mixed with Klan members and just roll with it, motherfucker? HOW?





  • Of course law doesn’t work that way. Law is inherently complicated because it needs to be abused only by those with the proper resources. Also - literally nobody fucking cares how the law works unless it’s a step between where you are and where you need to go. At which point rich people will hire others to get over the step, and poor people will just jump over the step. Rich people will get away with it and get a slap on the wrist, and poor people will suffer the full wrath of the system, to make sure everyone else knows it’s for real and doesn’t question the authority of those in charge. Rich people are free, poor people are held hostage within the system and cannot break out. Law doesn’t establish morality of actions or justice, it doesn’t prevent or punish what society deems evil, it just separates those who can get away with their actions from those who can’t.

    Kill your masters.


  • Hey, man… I like playing devil’s advocate as much as the next guy, but maybe Jimmy’s got enough money to hire his own, yeah? Not to mention that the stuff you come up with is pretty weak.

    Should everyone on the sex offender registry be jobless forever, or what is the point?

    Should I be hired as a mechanic if I’ve ever tampered with cars before? Should I be hired in finance if I ran a ponzi scheme? Should I be hired producing content for children if I raped an 11 year old? Yeah, some questions are absolute mysteries.

    There is tons of people criticizing him and I only heard about one cease and desist.

    The man literally has you sign an NDA to work for him. That’s attempt to silence.

    That DogPack guy seems to have created his YouTube channel solely to attack MrBeast, do we have anyone more trusted?

    I trust a labrador retriever to retrieve better than other dogs. Who would you like to have on Jimmy’s heels? The pope? Trump? There’s nobody that can’t be discredited or dismissed with a "that guy’s just a <random insult> trying to hurt MrBeast.“

    I have a feeling the DogPack guy has an agenda and isn’t offering an objective view.

    Oh, great. What an objective assessment to go on - your feeling. Listen, unless it’s a third party that is not involved in the situation, that is incorruptible and that is tamper proof, you won’t find objective reality. All you’ll find is a subjective view of past events. Consume both sides of the argument and make up your mind where exactly the truth is, cause it’s probably somewhere in-between everyone’s claims. Or don’t, there is no reason to get involved in the subject.

    That being said - I am willing to believe someone who films themselves giving money to homeless people and uses it to get more money and views is a total fucking asshole whose basic mechanism of shame has been overridden by whatever type of greed made him turn into this soulless husk in the first place.









  • It’s the same algorithm. It has the same purpose and the same result. It has simply been updated and improved. And it most likely still relies on certain markers that can measure how much a post will be engaged with and who will do it, except those markers are now less primitive and harder for us to define.

    We’re arguing semantics. This has always been the purpose of a social network: to keep you addicted to it. To keep you interacting with it. They don’t make money if you’re not there to click their ads, to look at their sponsored videos, to be marketed towards. Did they do it as well 10 years ago as they do it today? No, of course not. But you were still being targeted with posts that would “do well” with your gender, your age group, your location etc. They haven’t changed one little bit of their business model.

    So what are we talking about here? Some guy discovered 10 years down the road that a company wants you to keep using their website/service/app/whatever, but he thinks 10 years ago that company was - what? More scrupulous? More genuine?

    Nah, man. It was always the same. They just got better at their jobs. And - fuck me, it sounds like they were pretty good at their jobs even 10 years ago: they managed to keep Joe Slow scrolling for an entire decade.


  • Holy shit, were you born yesterday?

    Social media was not a stew of shit a decade ago.

    Source: was a man on social media a decade ago and was not constantly bombarded with toxic shit.

    Lol imagine being on social media for 10 years and still complaining about the algorithm.

    Here’s a post from 11 years ago explaining how you were being targeted and how engagement was measured back then:

    Facebook has a hierarchy of post types, since some types garner more engagement than others. Photos and videos take top priority. Links are second, and plain text status updates are at the bottom end. Weight doesn’t end there, though.

    Interaction from other users can also affect this. For instance, comments are more weighty than likes, but both affect the overall weight of the post. So a text-based status update with 50 likes and 10 comments will be more likely to show up in the Newsfeed than a photo with no engagement at all.

    Source (actual fucking source, as in an article written Aug 13, 2013, instead of your personal experience from the last decade): https://buffer.com/resources/understanding-facebook-news-feed-algorithm/

    So, in those 10 years you’ve been on social media (congrats on the milestone btw, maybe you’ll get a clue about the fucking world soon) what they’ve been doing has not changed, it’s merely been perfected. But yeah, sit there and tell me all about how your rose-tinted glasses are ackshually great and don’t distort your view, and you’re not just a mindless cunt that’s been zucking the zuck’s dick for the last 10 years, scrolling through shitty posts meant to make you click them. “things were better back in the day” lol gtfo dumbass it’s always been the same, it just took you 10 years to notice.

    What an actual waste of my time.
