Also dae le art workers are all labor aristocrats so it is cool and good when :porky-happy: steals their labor and replaces it with cheap uncredited AI treats that also create deepfaked revenge porn on the side :galaxy-brain:
I said no such thing. If you want to butcher what I said, cook it into a fabrication of your own choosing, then rage at it while pretending that's what I said in some knee-jerk act of treat defense, I can't stop you.
Back on the subject, I recall that I actually stood up for tech workers in previous threads the same way I stood up for artists, writers, and teachers. Of course I don't condone the chuds among them, but if someone works so they can survive and especially if they are imperiled if they lose that work, I call them workers.
It's not only deliberately dishonest but downright petty to pretend that I said "fuck all tech workers" which I not only did not say but that I outright opposed out loud, all in knee-jerk defense of cheap unregulated and uncompensated AI treats.
Yes, it’s the handful who do non profit work that I was clearly targeting. On c/memes.
I'm glad you're okay with including them in the crossfire. The nonprofit MarComms workers I know will be glad that, at the very least, you weren't targeting them specifically when you said they should kill themselves.
I'm perfectly aware of how diseased the ad industry is (hell, how much of a disease it is) and the sick, manipulative people who run it. I grew up around it and believe me, I could tell you stories. I still think it's total bullshit to issue a blanket condemnation to the third of a million people (in the US alone!) who do that work. Hell, I almost went into it when I got out of college. Should I have killed myself if I stuck with it?
I get the sentiment you're going after and I'm sorry to be so vehement, but the way you're saying it is inflammatory at best.
selling broken crap as a ‘game’ when it could be what drives some poor bastard into irreversible debt because of your broken, shitty product.
Way too many times on Hexbear some treat defender sneered and mocked the concept of psychologically vulnerable people being taken advantage of by deliberately manipulative marketing and monetization tactics. "Vote with your wallet" is the other "I got mine." :the-more-you-know:
It's still funny to me that "vote with your wallet" gets unironic usage. If we have to vote with our wallet and someone else has a larger wallet than me that's not exactly a fair vote then is it??

Hexbear stop declaring an entire industry's workers to be scum to show how cool and edgy you are challenge (impossible)

Lol aren't you the same guy who was decrying all tech workers as horrible because of AI art like a week ago?

"Yeah so I mainly do copy for non-profits, it's not super lucrative but I feel like I'm making a difference helping-"
"Kill yourself"
???
Bill Hicks had a hilarious bit
