No platforms!

Help yourself to icons, there's enough for everyone.
After all, you would download a car, wouldn't you ?

I. What are platforms ?
A platform is a shitty website providing shitty services for the poor and the dumb.

II. Why do platforms exist ?
Platforms are born when a scammer runs into a herd of idiots, so there's always two parts to that question.

On the idiots' end, platforms exist because they figure their only hope to relevancy is ganging together. Because they full know that on their own power they're scarcely worth the trouble of individual names, the "people" that aren't actually people will always be found in herds, wherein they might almost pass muster, from a distance and if superficially examined.

On the scammer's end, platforms exist because the scammer figures he can extract value thereby. This universally reduces to the risibly dysfunctionali process known as "UGC", on occasion augmented by lulzy buck passings.

III. Why don't you use platforms ?
Do you really have to ask ?

Of course I use them, I just don't use them straight. I don't use them like they want to be used, I don't "use" them in the sense sheep "use" shears. I don't let them use me then turn around and try to pretend I use them -- that's what you do. After all, I'm not "a really nice guy"ii with no sense of humour. Are you ?

IV. Why this article then ?
Because noob girlies keep getting excited at finding "me" on whatever platform they frequent. It should be obvious by now, of course, but here it is plain and simple and writ large : no, it's not me. Of course it isn't.

It's just some dork wanna-be me-ing all over himself. Careful you don't get hurt by his pretense, like has happened before.

  1. Recall when MySpace sold for a trillion ? How about when Tumblr was worth 1.1 bn ? Or when slashdot sold on the open market for about the same coupla million ?

    There is no money in platforms ; nor ever will there be. Bathing in "consensus" as to the contrary is just another facet of being very fucking stupid. []

  2. The in-universe etnonym for unmitigable idiocy. []

  1. In bozo bits for the setting, there is an operation calling itself Hispaweb that wants the world to know: "Nuestras ofertas de empleo se publican en InfoJobs.
    No atendemos peticiones de empleo a través de otras plataformas."

    Derps only want to attend their three ring binders through some other derp's platform, very US-like. So far haven't encountered anywhere as explicitly retarded about this as the US was, but... Miami calls.

  2. Been thinking about the same stuff you wrote in this post for a long time. Now I'm considering making myself a personal website again, probably by using WordPress , just like back in the days...

    @Bingo Boingo May also be passive admitting of the fact that the idiots "looking for employment" really aren't.

    @Dread Knight The problem with "thinking for a long time" is that it doesn't actually do anything.

    Bueno, que estas bien y te vive la francesa (after a Romanian original "sa-ti fie de bine si sa-ti traiasca frantuzoaica", or as the machine would say it, "Bien, estar bien y vivir su francesa").

    Which incidentally puts on great display the severe inferiority of Spanish over Romanian : the all-important difference between "sa traiasca" and "sa iti traiasca" is unspeakable in the dog-eating idiotma. Yet it's the only thing that matters, as far as anyone I've ever met whose notions I gave two shits about could ever figure. The entire world's compressed in that hairline difference between "sa-ti traiasca" and "sa traiasca". You know ?

    Do you fucking know ?

    Honestly he's always been peanuts ; but the weeping October lulz coming on the heels of July coverage on Trilema that you quote... well.

    Nobody cares, seriously. Nobody did care at any point, except for a particular class of frustrated nigger :

    Howard C Roark

    Jared I feel your pain.
    I will miss writing for ROK. I had so many more redpill truths to drop to this generation. For me ROK was like a second home.

    Apart from the little bitch bois wanking themselves really really hard to an imaginary audience from within an electrically insulated padded cell, nobody ever gave a shit.
