I try my best, but this is not a level I’ve achieved yet.

I commend your open-minded behavior.

Bad take but I do prefer my keyboards to have big nipples

Omggggg thats a dream to me ngl.

Has anyone brought up how this is just like tipping? Youtube wants me to pay them (rather than the creator) but they decide how much the creator gets and then if I care about that creators brand I can buy creator merch.

Me too! Me toooooo!!! I spent so much time looking for those pictures, before I realized I was simply female and then spent even more time looking for vaginoplasties. I’ve seen enough now. I’m pretty certain, though I dont need to make the decision soon anyway.

Wait did you start a kink thread and then kink shame in the comments?

All people can get turned on by seeing themselves looking sexy, I lingerie, etc. This is especially socially acceptable for women, too! Getting dressed up in lingerie underneath whether you plan to get laid or not, you know? Or taking pics of yourself. Perhaps it could be a form of gender euphoria. So yea there’s my take on Blanchard’s theory.

👄 I have small dick energy

They got upsold by the dealer.

Thats funny because shareholders are deeply involved in Valve, and those shareholders frequently decide which products get investment and which don’t.

Most of the creators I liked are on Twitch now or have quit. A very small amount made the pivot to Patreon. Nebula creators are often very successful youtubers who are smart enough to make a new business, though some are academics who don’t do so well on youtube. I use youtube music too! And pay for it… And I’m invested, I want alternatives. I was about ready to download all of my YouTube music stuff and go hop onto band camp, despite that it would be many times more expensive. I just wanna be treated right.

Never forget that youtube filters us towards those creators, too. New creators saying a new message? They aren’t gonna get any attention. Youtube de-prioritized LGBT and BIPOC content tags for years.

I have literally seen 2 creators ever bring up youtube red, saying that yes subscribers do make up a more significant percentage of their revenue and did help a little bit when videos got demonetized. Every creator is saying some sort of the “I don’t want all my eggs in one basket, I can’t trust these platforms” argument.

Well the creators I like don’t see it as a good relationship. They keep leaving for Twitch, Patreon, Nebula, or quitting on content creation. If I’m a fan of them, I need to listen to their concerns about how YouTube is constantly threatening their livelihood.

The time for YouTube to ask for more money was before they made hundreds of unpopular decisions and drove away literally hundreds of creators that I liked.

Why was it forced to shut down?

So true. A lot of creators are actually very dependent on the accessibility of their content, but also the drama present on twitter. Mastodon takes patience not only from the creators but the users… What if they get bored before they see your content? Thats not good for business.

I loved how much trans joy was actually in this movie. If they’re trying to detrans people its like… Wow look at all of these unbelievably happy trans people on youtube and tumblr. But did you know… If you take hormones for medical transition it has permanent effects? 👻

Like… Yea, yea it does.

Prager U is starting to look like controlled opposition. Inadvertently putting the highlight on all of this awesome LGBT2SQIA+ content and people.

You’re forgetting leverage. Open source is changing the way these businesses are forced to do business. And thats a start.
