Have you met people? It just takes one toxic person to plummet the morale and forever change the social environment. It takes a willingness from all members to foster a healthy community. It’s fragile and takes effort.
It’s a lemmynsfw account, so I’m fairly confident they would be engaged in other “activity” than commenting when using that account. Unlikely to be a bot.
And in the explosion, new YouTuber starlets are born as they comment on the drama and call out the megastar’s wrongdoing. It’s the ciiiircle of YouTube.
Maybe the next headline will be “State of Georgia indicts Linus Sebastian for his role in Trump election fraud.”
Or maybe Obi Wan will show up to see if we know where he is and inform us that Linus killed the younglings.
Or maybe it will turn out that Linus never existed in the first place and LMG has just been a series of deepfakes created by Steve from GN but he’s tired of it and this is how he’s winding it down.
Not to ruin the moment here or anything but this is the first properly funny comment I’ve seen on Lemmy. I used to spend most of my time on Reddit just hunting around for funny comments so I feel like the transition is now complete, so thanks
Interesting, thanks for the link - at the very least, things are trending upwards so fingers crossed we are through the worst of it for the time being. Which is probably 8-10 years, it is cyclical.
This is aimed at the person i originally responded to. General thoughts about about political agendas couched in loaded language below. Nothing is apolitical, and everyone has an agenda. The key is to figure out what it is.
“Worst recession since 2008” is one of those phrases that sounds almost like the economy is just as bad as 2008, but actually doesn’t mean much of anything.
For demonstrative purposes I’ll use some arbitrary numbers here.
If we rated the 2008 recession at an 10/10 on the badness scale, rated any recession between 2009-2022 as a 2/10 at the most, and rated the current recession we’re in at say, a 4 - I could say that this is the worst recession since 2008, and it would not be untruthful.
No, we wouldn’t be, Mr. Negative Karma Throwaway. A recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. The US had exactly two in Q1 2022 and Q2 2022 before going back to positive growth. The US had a much larger recession in Q1 and Q2 2020 before a big recovery in Q3 2020. statista.com/…/percent-change-from-preceding-peri…
About half the population already owns a home so they’re immune to this problem.
Don’t forget, many of those people won’t be alive much longer, and many of their houses will not be passed on to family, but sold off to pay off debts owed by their estates, and will end up as more overpriced rental properties.
