The difference is that KF does it with the purpose of collecting information and laugh at people, journos do it with the very open intention of causing the person harm, directly or indirectly.
I'm not going to suck musk off, he doesn't even know who I am, but he is the exact antithesis to who these people are. He goes out, he does whatever and gives no fucks. He doesn't have to be the best person ever or really anything because the people that don't like him do t do anything with their lives anyway.But isn’t that what the farms does?
Kiwi Farms also does not try to claim lofty and noble asperations of being a 'fourth estate'. Journalists and media types love to claim that there is some inherent nobility to their muckraking.
Ben dug his own grave by being an extremely dishonest prick. He's finally reaped the whirlwind.
this is giving me the same vibe as parents who only just started to discipline their kid's bullying in school after columbine happened
No single person whose sources are "some cunt on Twitter" should be allowed to call themself a journalist, end of. It's crazy how deep that profession has tanked its reputation in the last decade. In my country it used to be in the top 3 of hardest degrees to get, now even previously renowned papers and institutions are reporting on the same level as the National Enquirer. Beyond ridiculous.
Does KF call itself fair and impartial, or the most trusted name in news, or have gay taglines like "Democracy Dies in Darkness"? Or does it have funny random texts at the top of the page and a chat full of autists screeching nigger endlessly?But isn’t that what the farms does?
I think a lot of what Kiwi Farms does is watch Internet people because farmers like their content and want to see more of that content. Getting involved IRL threatens the existence or continuation of that content, so it is greatly frowned upon. The paparazzi never touches, just watches.But isn’t that what the farms does?
Problem is all of the legacy media networks are laying off their "journalists". And even if he manages to land somewhere, that rag will likely toss him like used toilet paper down the line.
Musk bought his toy for 44 billion big boy bucks, he could kick everyone off and scream into the void for all I care. It's not even the private company argument; Twitter is a castle, Musk owns the fuckin deed, its his damn castle, and after what just happened with his 2 year old son, that castle is going to be on high alert, cannons at the ready. People like Ben Collins need to know what a angry tyrant breathing down your neck feels like, if only for a moment in their lives.
we should have a thread for these plane autists to post in. I'm not interested in the stuff but you never know, there might be news in it (or slapfights to watch)
