No. It’s their job to make money. If they don’t think you’ll make them money they won’t waste resources on you.

But you probably made lots of money. :)

You can be a master with 30 years experience in something like pottery, but you will make less money than an amateur who started doing pottery this year who has even a moderate Instagram following if you don’t have any social media presence.

You have to whore yourself to the masses if you want to make money in art or literature.

Just look at ML or Hexbear right here on Lemmy. The tankies love Putin and Xi. Horseshoe is a law not a theory.

Hell they assasinate their own regularly.

What? But I’m the main character. Everything is about me personally.

Touchè.

Lol half? I’d say about a 20-80 split.

It’s an Asian culture thing. My mom was the same way. It’s absent in the families of my white friends though.

I just accept not having friends. Lol.

Bruh, don’t do shit that causes protests then.

This guy was a liberal environmentalist sweetheart and then he decided he was going to say fuck you to his main customer base and throw his ilk in with Trump. This is all on you Musky-boy.

Who is going around offering people jam on toast?

Proton shouldn’t be recommended. CEO is a Trump supporter.

He’s a Trump supporter.

I can help but you’ll need to wire me $300k to start with.

This sounds like Russian propaganda. Putin is that you?

See her shirt.

We’re fat and have high cholesterol and heart attacks, so the answer is we don’t survive.

I blame the algorithms. This shit is oushed in front of impressionable young men’s faces by most social media algorithms because it drives (toxic) engagement. Others have already described why it’s appealing.

This shit has always existed but it’s given a soap box because corporate wants number to go up, and sadly parents these days leave parenting up to social media so they don’t teach them that these views are abhorrent.

It’s a good thing Trump won because Biden didn’t do enough to forgive student loans, amirite?
