It’s on the wikipedia page for Plato’s allegory of the cave. Have fun. People misuse the term “Plato’s cave” a lot

Oh if you’re confused about what I mean it immediately places people looking for a side gig in a position to make less money than they expect and get solicited for prostitution while exposing themselves online in a way that causes big issues in other careers

??? I use my imagination like a normal person. I don’t need to watch sex tapes of prostitutes or from dubious sources sorted by shitty silicon valley startups for surveillance purposes.

As for personal experience when I was two years younger and stupid I was dating an autistic agoraphobic camgirl lol, only way for her and a lot of disabled people to survive, but anecdotes abt it being a shitty pyramid scheme aren’t the entirety of my issue with chaturbate/onlyfans/etc, nor is it opening women up to more serious & endangering prostitution, it’s a shitty startup and a cover for HUMAN TRAFFICKING THRU HOTEL NETWORKS.

The ppl behind onlyfans and hotels etc are criminals. They will launder trafficking victims no problem. Already have. Children too.

Just the tip of the iceberg really

It is lmao only the tip top percentile makes any money, and guess what? Literally everyone who subscribes is begging for meetups and waving $1000. They’re all psychos with no sense of how easy it would be to fuck if they let go of their need to fuck with other people

Lol disregard my last comment about the Google News trick they made it worse. FFS

It’s a pyramid scheme meant to trick women into prostitution.

There needs to be a move to model more like Invidious where there is a database. Youtube’s got a helluva lot more to index and it’s managed. The account tokens thing was a bit unserious.

In the meantime if you need rss, try this:

https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=site:twitter.com/benjaminnorton

just swap out the name.

you have to paste the URL into an archive website lolz unless u want to login. very cumbersome & no retweets. i like having a retweet free RSS tho, no overlaps

also there are mastodon mirrors of twitter accounts and stuff that can be done

anyways, the site SUCKS. this should have been something to hold us over while people come to their senses and leave

You’ll hear about it thru the grapevine. I’m not talking about it on reddit sorry

People wouldn’t have to flock anywhere if things were more connected ;_;

Mostly, but I don’t want Twitter to take further measures!

Shhhh let them think it died 🤫

This concern is made even more ridiculous by the fact bsky.app already offers login gating for any user who wishes to use it, and I believe it blocks RSS as well. It’s just such a funny practice. like? who hurt you ??
