That's the very first result I found.
And you need ads to support this!?
No, only like two people run the site.
The groups I'm talking about are the people who use the site to buy and sell the clothes on there.
I understand that. And those people buying and selling clothes on that site can't afford a buck a month?
They probably could but getting them to is another story. The ads are just easier.
I'm happy that the total destruction of the Internet into a Hellscape of graffiti and malware is helping your 300 people save a buck a month.
I mean, tell those girls that. They'll dox your ass but I'm sure it'd be worth it to make a point about advertisers.
Ah. So turning the Internet into a Hellscape of graffiti and malware is fine so that 300 idiots who can't afford a buck a month won't, and I quote, "dox my ass".
What's the word again for a (typically very small) minority trying to force their will on a (typically very large) majority by using actions intended to create fear? You know, actions intended to create terror in the target audience. The word's on the tip of my tongue...
Fuck the 300. If they can't afford a buck a month then their hobby can just die. I don't want to have to put up with advertising spam on literally everything my eyes fall on just because 300 "girls" will "dox my ass".
It's a niche hobby so they don't really effect any part of the internet other than their own.
Do you know anything about Japanese Street fashion as a hobby...
If they perpetrate and normalize advertising-driven income, they effect every part of the Internet. That's the whole point of this entire thread: ads are the Original Sin™ of the Internet and shit little sites like this perpetuate this toxic mix.
If they can't pay a buck a month for themselves, their hobby deserves to die.
