tbh the guy she’s arguing with is making an argument that’s based on a fallacy.

I’ve read and re-read this thread a few times but I really don’t make sense of it. What are people annoyed about here?

But I do agree that handclaps between handclaps every handclaps word handclaps is for tossers.

I think the overall view is that people are just beginning to realise that we’re living in a beggars’ economy where our content (whether it be words, music, pictures/we) is generating cash & economic strength for global tech companies and a certain type of news media that has shifted to an aggregator model …but we haven’t yet established the hard criteria in this beggars economy about what sort of activity we feel is ‘legitimate’ to ask for money for

I expect the reaction to Abi Wilkinson putting out the cup has large components of all kinds of prejudices to do with worth & value and where the interface is between what industrial society thinks these things are versus what digital society things

essentially twitter is a streaming services for thoughts and no one is getting any royalties - ko-fi is a consequence

Also there was that time she called me a dickhead.

[BodyInTheThames]

Milo seems to think of her as a sparring partner. Don’t know if you’ve read this, but they appear to know each other in some respect: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/26/my-night-out-in-cleveland-with-the-worst-men-on-the-internet

That is a really well written piece tbf

[zxcvbnm]

Boring right-wing provocateur, probably doesn’t believe half the shit he says.

Um… awks.

[meowington]

Well I’m now very confused by that article.

2 people hang out together, get drunk, "talk about boys"
1 then tries to tell the other for years that they are not friends
the other then invites the 1st one out to a rally and they go?
erm? like a friend inviting another friend out ?

CONFUSING

[the_dazzled]

Hmm except many people find him very smart, funny and entertaining.
