badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Half genuine question.

Some streamers I watch have described themselves a business owners and to an extent they are. I think? They have employees or in some cases, co-owners but they entirely depend on streaming platforms and brand deals for revenue. In some ways they function as workers for streaming/entertainment companies like twitch or youtube but does this make them proletarian if they also sell commodities? Idk how brand deals work exactly so correct me if I am wrong but normally streamers/youtubers sign deals with companies to create products that use their image to advertise a commodity for which they receive a decent margin of the profits right? Is this bourgeois? They don't own the commodity production right? They are still receiving surplus value but how is this considered a business? Is there a class analysis of streamers I can read somewhere because I feel like this is getting into the nitty gritty of class and I honestly haven't moved beyond semi-proletariat, proletariat, petit-bourgeois, and monopoly bourgeois with peasant sometimes thrown into the mix. Wth is a streamer even. Anyway I am drunk and bored

This is in badposting because it is about streamers.

I'm going to hire a bunch of really catty movie producers so I can finally control the means of production
