I disabled Brave shields to use this site and then my phone turned into an air fryer from all the bloatware it was loading. Temps went up like 20 DC.

The spite I have for fandom… is… so… intense

Numbers go brrrr

    If you’re old enough, you remember that people put content up for free on the pre-Youtube internet and it was a much better place when made up of only enthusiasts and hobbyists. If Youtube and all its users treating the internet as a vessel for making money went away it would be glorious.

      Someone is still paying for hosting that content. That works for text, pictures and gifs but once you move to videos it starts getting expensive. I too put content on YouTube without any intention to make money from it but I still understand that it costs YouTube money.

      I’m all for passion projects but it still needs to be sustainable one way or another.
