I'm not informed on the deep lore of ifunny corporate, but to me it's obvious from that pinned twitter post that either they reached out to some investors for money, or someone reached out to them, and the end result is banning racist content and shit. All because of the very things you laid out in your Where the Sidewalk Ends article covering payment processors.
The Dimensional Merge is real
They are discovering the same thing Girlvinyl discovered when she tried to monetize Encyclopedia Dramatica. The thing that makes the site work is also the thing that makes it unmonetizable.
iFunny denies this, is there evidence?
Only circumstantial evidence. The new mod team responds very negatively to pictures of meat, and the first major post bans were pictures of a steak, which led users to believe it was an Indian moderation team.
Not that I'm AWARE of but ill defer to @CornBogFitz . Its mentioned in his OP but no super hard evidence, his second video in the OP details stuff about the ifunny "cleaning up toxic posts" which I cant determine if it came before, or after the pajeet posting, and something of how some indian guy got doxxed and was listed as working with ifunny. Plenty of bans were assumed as random but were very, very longtime users (10+ years)
Using IFunny since at least 2014 changes you.
From now on you should add an ifunny watermark to every pic you post, regardless of were it came from.
When the sale of iFunny occurred last year a lot of users were circulating the documentation for it saying "It's Joever".
I don't think anyone is saying its SOLD to pajeets, as much as moderation is pawned out to them, IE, hiring pajeet media companies and such to do moderation. Thats the claim anyway, idk how true it is, but people on ifunny seem to believe it.
Same thing Tom realized when he walked away from MySpace and left the internet. You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain.
The Chinese, who use the jeets for busy hands.
