Iloveyounowfuckoff,

I intentionally used the "new normal" to fight the "new normal".

Not much really is 100% evil, including advertising and the art of persuasion. It's more important how tools are used - to persuade someone to kill themselves or persuade them to better themselves. I can't tell you how many animated and live-action commercials I made between 1995 and 2005, but it was a lot, and I made a lot (as much in one day then as I spend now every month on food). I'd rather be honest and obvious in my pitch than play some subliminal mindfuckery.

" Nobody who isn't getting paid by a social media website should care that much about a social media website. "

That might be true if your priorities are about getting paid for caring.

If I'm getting paid then I'd sure like to know about it. If there are checks in the mail then someone's been stealing them. I would prefer to live a little more comfortably, but that's not a priority when I have my freedom - so I won't sell out for comfort again.

I don't know if you are homeless online or if you have a few sites that you regularly visit. It's no secret I haunt this place, and I believe in uncensored truth-seeking, not just on SaidIt, more than anything - and now SaidIt has federated so, as this, my first sub from approaching 2 years ago is titled, they're decentralizing, a passion of mine almost equal to freedom to communicate.

I care because it matters.

Also, FYI, I started this post in a private message, then realized I should share it, so I tweaked it, posted it, and included it in that private message - plus you all get to like it or lump it.

    I miss so many but for every shitty comment I see there's an opportunity to expound some valuable learning stuff for the other readers - and maybe a chance to learn myself.

    It's wonderful and welcome to see when folks apologize, admit errors, or agree to disagree - so for that I salute you. I also like your name.

    Yes, there is no shortage of shills here on Saidit too, but the best response is to deflate their shillery with counterpoints that are as airtight as possible.

    I was almost certain there was something against shitposting in the FAQ, but I guess not, though I am certain it's frowned on as it's low tier on the Pyramid Of Debate. There's no shortage or porn or shitposing on the internet, SaidIt is an alternative to that.

    The thought shaping here aims to be towards freedom and less tribalism.
