Why do alt news sites use Disqus a very VERY ultra left platform?

It is a leap of logic to assume that people coding platforms that may host right leaning content like Bitchute and Odysee are Western "Rightists". Anyone can post whatever ideology they want on these sites. From having experience in the coding space, I can with certainty tell you that it is very common for projects like the aforementioned ones to outsource the bulk of their coding to India, Philippines et cetera to save on cost.

Is that really different? Anyone who understands software knows that outsourcing development to India or Philippines is a moronic idea. So this is just another approach of moronic modern scum.

I'd have to respectfully disagree. Being pragmatic is certainly a sign of intelligence and organizational ingenuity. If an alternative project is unable to secure unlimited funds from a VC firm like many mainstream projects do to make a "perfect product", then the developers are faced with either not creating the product or to instead cut costs by outsourcing. Thereby this will at least make for a "workable" product in the end. This "workable" product can then be used to create a source of income that will be able to provide for eventually refining the service using better workers.

Do you have any experience with programming? Hiring one good programmer is much cheaper than hiring 100 mediocre programmers. MBA scum don't understand this. I hired 2 technical people for my business, both Russian. Programmers from most of the world are just worthless scum.

This is a little bit of hyperbole. But, I fundamentally understand your point. I fire 8 out of 10 programmers I hire.

If you are short on monetary capital and long on human capital, then you have to intelligently organize the usage of your resources by having run-of-the-mill workers do the bulk of run-of-the-mill work and gifted people do the more minor amount of important technical work. You are expending your extra human capital to manage and organize this type of circus in the place of not having adequate financial capital.

This is why major corporations routinely outsource. They're in it for the money and have already done the math. Outsourcing is ultimately more profitable than not. It doesn't make it "right", it just is as it is. An average worker does not equal incompetent. You have to match the worker to the work. There are numerous variables that affect this and is not a one size fits all solution.

Yet, if platforms like Bitchute can manage to intelligently bring a product to market without unlimited funding and eventually start becoming successful, it's not because they were dumb, worthless, scum morons as you often "imply" even if most their code was written by Indians.

There's some interesting psychological dynamics with you evidenced here that is a sub-text to your frequent "scum" descriptors. But, perhaps that's a conversation for another day.
