Let the historical record show that Mr. Beast was entirely ignorable if you were just like doing literally anything else. I've been on youtube as long as it's been around and I've never been recommended a video by him. I see him in passing as a meme. I thought he was a made up joke, a caricature of bad youtuber content miners until someone I trust confirmed his existence to me in late 2025.
I just don't feel like I can trust a monetised political blog to be entirely honest. Especially when you're talking about the oppression of others. It's in your financial best interest for that oppression to continue because it draws attention to your ad reads.
This is a very confident accusation built on a misunderstanding on how any of this is monetised.
This blog does not generate any ad revenue. Tumblr does not pay me for political writing and views on my videos here do not earn me anything. For the videos that can earn money based on views - Only TikTok, YouTube and Instagram count.
When I mark something as an Ad on Tumblr, that's me being transparent that a studio, publisher, or creator agency has sent me a key to play the game, or the video has the potential to earn money based on its performance elsewhere. I usually link those other platforms and explicitly say watching there is a way to support me financially.
Yes, some people support me voluntarily through Ko-Fi. Some subscribe to me on Twitch and I'm genuinely grateful for that support. But I also work full time - AyeforScotland is not my livelihood, and I'm certainly not making enough from it for political oppression to be some financial necessity.
Turning that into "It is in your financial best interest for that oppression to continue" is an extraordinary leap.
By this logic, journalists covering wars secretly want them to continue, foodbank workers want people to remain hungry, and climate campaigners are financially invested in the planet getting hotter.
I've been arguing for the same political outcomes since long before there was any earnings from being 'AyeforScotland'. My desired endpoint has always been the same: I would quite like the things I complain about to stop happening.
You're welcome to be sceptical of monetised creators. You should be but if you're going to accuse me of materially benefitting from oppression continuing, you'll need a lot more that "Some of your followers might also watch your gaming videos somewhere else."
Local man actually follows the law about declaring ads/gifted keys for his video game content—unlike 100% of the drop shipper sellers on this site that masquerade as meme blogs—and gets accused of dishonesty.
You couldnae make it up.
common misconception but ultimately untrue. what edgeworth has going on is an incredibly straightforward combination of daddy issues, autism, strict upbringing, and poorly repressed homosexuality. robust, yes, but not complicated. whatever the fuck makes phoenix act like that is an issue that the subject's top scholars are still debating today. nothing so easily summarized.
sick of people saying haru and futaba forgave akechi sick of people saying they hate him and want him dead. let female characters be messy and complicated without dumbing them down into angry girls defined by their trauma pls and thx. persona five audience please understand that haru and futaba can sympathize with akechi because they were all victimized by shido. two fictional teenage girls can understand a nuanced situation better than some thirty year olds on this app thats crazy
files are named "p5 dumbass brigade" and "p5 braincells" respectively
people who don't use or spend time on tumblr don't really understand how solid this place is for creatives and how we could be living in artist utopia if they fully undid the nsfw ban. the tag system? the dashboard? the silly anons who will send you the most insane sentences known to mankind? having your very old, shitty art make the rounds again because somebody finds value from it and wants to show their friends? no other place even comes close
Nearly blocked someone for a vaguely annoying reply they made in 2017 then remembered 2017 was 9 years ago. They will live. We can change *opens their blog* nevermind they got worse. Guards
This was written out in real time btw. I typed out the first half, paused, saved it to my drafts, went back to open their blog, then came back to type the rest
Also applies to "AI" "artists" and "musicians."
You wake up one day and discover you've lost control over a random action or feeling!
Spin the wheel to find out what!
How bad is it?
Actually way better than before!
Its good
It's alright
It's annoying but I'll be fine
It's pretty bad
IM DEAD
worse than death
Nothing changes/results
This idea was submitted by @dbnekonico!
"Goro Akechi needs to be punished for his crimes" yes and his sentence is being adopted and gently bullied by the Phantom Thieves for all eternity

#The number of compliments i have gotten for reading a thing
The ability to occasionally Read A Thing will make you a hero in your workplace, especially if it is for example an error message that tells you what you need to do differently, or instructions on unjamming a printer.
how dare you say we put jam in the printer
Ok reblogging this again because story time.
I work in tech, and much of what I do is support sales reps within the company by resolving errors with the software they use.
There is one sales rep who, every single time I send her a message or email with extremely specific instructions that will resolve her issue, does something completely different from what I tell her. Every time. Without fail. It is so glaringly obvious that she has never read even a single word that I have written to her.
So one day, she sends me a message that says little more than "(software) is broken, help"
So I do my standard song and dance of asking her what she's trying to accomplish, and what specifically is stopping her from doing that. And eventually, after much unnecessary back and forth, she tells me there's an error message. I ask her to send me a screenshot of the error message. She does.
The error message basically says, "these two required fields are blank. To resolve this, please fill in these two specific fields, and then click save."
So I take a few deep breaths.
Then I lie to her.
I message her back, saying "hey yeah, for some reason it's not loading that screenshot on my end. Could you type out the full text of the error message for me?"
She does.
I ask her if she still needs help.
She does not respond.
I have similar story from tech support.
Client is reporting that Some Thing Program doesn't work. I ask if there's an error message with further information about what's not working. Client says "no". I go over and ask Client to open Some Thing. Client double-clicks on the icon for Some Thing, it starts to boot, an error message dialog flashes up on screen, Client closes error message before I can read it, Thing closes after the error.
"What did that error message say?" I ask.
"What error message?" asks Client.
I tell Client to open the Some Thing again and then not click anything else. Client opens Some Thing, error message appears, Client clicks it away again.
I tell Client to stand up, step away, and give me physical control of the computer. I open Some Thing, start looking at the error message without closing it, and Client says "You should close that." I tell Client that I am reading the error message. Client is apparently accustomed to treating error messages as a kind of spam email that should be deleted as fast as possible, and gets agitated that I'm reading it.
I read the error message. It tells me what the problem is. I fix the problem. Some Thing works now.
---
Later, I start thinking about how such an error message might perhaps be engineered to be more attention-grabbing and close-resistant as a way of making people read it. It's not important for some random program here, but there are more important systems (medical, etc) where it would be reasonable to demand the user's attention because people's lives depend on paying attention to the error message.
But then people with a perverted intellect would still be thinking about ways to avoid reading the message, like dragging it off edge of screen or hiding it behind another window. So maybe the dialog box could have an always-in-front feature to override other windows, and the alert could use the computer's hardware "beep" functionality that can't be switched off by muting the regular sound system, and keep beeping... shit, I realize I'm reinventing pain, and get philosophical about it.
Story from The Past about My Mum:
She was a computer programmer / analyst, a... Long Time Ago. Called in for a system she'd installed before, the office folk said they kept having problems where it Didn't Work Right (no error, a malfunction)
She investigated, and told them that could only happen if they did 3 specific things in a specific order, which they should not ever do.
So, she asked, did they ever do that?
No! Of course not, was the answer.
So she made a couple of small changes, packed up and said that should be fine, but they should call her if there were problems.
The next week
She had a call saying "We're getting a strange error message on the system, can you help?"
She said, of course, can they tell her the error?
And the message was:
"You Said You Didn't Do This"
