The TL;DR version is: But the truth is that running a platform for culture creation is, increasingly, a charity operation undertaken by larger companies. Servers are expensive, and advertisers would rather just throw money at Facebook than take a chance on your weird, problematic network. Generating and incubating internet culture has little market value in and of itself.

You don't know anything about servers or technology in general. Fuck off

riiiiiiight.... well, actually I do but I didn't write the article -- one point is that weird assholes like you saying "fuck off" are one reason advertisers don't like their images sitting on the same screen.

Fuck off.

Well, I didn't invent the internet or the failing culture creation websites like this one. I think you invested in this. And I know you aren't a dude either in the fuck off bro-culture here. Don't invest heavily in it...

Feels like a "Later Guys" post is brewing.

Derek seems like a nice guy but I have a feeling that the "Later Guys" might be from him. The tone of his announcements don't paint a picture of reaping money hand over fist. In fact it sounds exactly like exactly what is depicted in the article.

My bigger issue is that I don't care very much about Husky Football anymore. I would rather have root canal surgery than write an article about Jake Browning's surgically repaired shoulder (or whatever the fuck).

But in any event, you're making a lot of assumptions in this thread.

This site is a huge success from the standpoint of giving the Half Brain culture a professional platform and home base. The financial future remains to be seen. The site broke even in 2016 and existed fully off donations. Let's see what happens for 2017.

Let me tell you what will happen for 2017. These cheap fucks will pony up or I will find them and set their houses on fire. Then this place will either break even or run a slight surplus, or a bunch of basement dwelling losers will be homeless. That's what will happen.

So it's time to circle the wagons?

I didn't say I was leaving, only not funding it (Derek already knew that by now anyway)

Inhairent laziness

Sounds reasonable.

Whats Derek supposed to say? "Hey guys.....we're good on the $ so you canstop donating now."

Actually I said something similar to that a couple months ago, saying we had enough to cover expenses until the August fundraiser.

I was about to pull the trigger on the new rectal toys but I'm going to sacrifice so I can participate in the August fundraiser.
