  • Ever since I got into radio, I’ve definitely found that there’s nearly always some wild shit to be found on the airwaves if you know where and how to look for it. In my teen years, I would spend hours on good ionosphere nights sitting on my front porch with a handheld CB just listening to people being absolutely unhinged on channel 6.

    If you have even a passing interest, do yourself a favor and pick up a RTL-SDR for cheap, and take a look around.




  • Allow me to translate:

    We are inviting you to work for free because our content moderation team isn’t focussed on actually moderating harmful content… Well, only if you define “harmful” as “harmful to advertisers’ brands.” And by “moderation” I mean adding notes to things a la twitter, or X or whatever… Doesn’t matter, we just think that Elon was onto something when he outsourced the responsibility of fact-checking to unaffiliated users who can be duped into free labor as long as we dress it up as “making the community better” (like we actually have a platform that actually fosters anything close to a “community” lol). Hopefully you’ll steer unearned traffic towards incorrect information so we can make the case to those users that YT is OK with that kind of content without having to say the quiet part out loud, and make the case to advertisers that it’s worthwhile to stop caring what kind of content their ads get placed near. Your contributions will be ignored by the general public, especially those who are seeking out inaccurate content, but you’ll get the feeling of superiority that comes with hitching a ride on the coattails of someone shittier, yet vastly more popular than you could ever hope to be. Together, we can make Youtube even more money.

    I’m definitely not discounting the fact that this one W point is a drop in the bucket in comparison to the flood of L points he’a got lol

    Dude’s a grade-A dirtbag. Glad he’s nice to his doggo, but still a trash human.
