It is funny that the success of this place is almost totally dependent on how stupid a single billionaire can be but I wouldn’t have it any other way, any website worth its salt is built on being a hater
That's how you get the best salt
(having a moment of remembrance for Gawker.)
There's also some meta level of irony that Brazil has something to do with it, since there's always been that constant presence of "come to Brazil!" Or "greetings from Brazil!" On Twitter/X. Far back as I can remember anyway lol
Also good choice on this particular billionaire, who's capacity for being stupid does not seem to have any obvious limit.
Bad news is that if he does implode, this place is next. Management will be consumed by hubris just as all the dispossessed bots and scammers swarm us.
spite is the most savory spice
Also goes to show how a cult of personality can go both ways. People get sick of you and work to establish a counter position. Here we are!
Fark and Digg had good things going, then own goaled Reddit into existence.
Staking your success on a billionaire being stupid seems like a great idea It's like betting on fish swimming
