Do I even need to say "consider the source"?
But... the people on the fork are the anti-FE faction? I actually would like more of an explanation of what's going on and how I should feel about it.
He was funny, because I was all apologetic: I'm sorry, I usually give you guys a signal to give if you need someone pulled off you, but forgot to do that with you ahead of time so I wasn't sure if you wanted in that conversation or not. And he was all, yeah, no, you're very perceptive, thanks for rescuing me. So then I wished I'd done it sooner. But seriously, why can't people take hints?
I try to interrupt her, and she won't let me! My direct report who has worked here for three weeks! Anyway.
Oh, did I mention? My father's not moving today, but will tomorrow.
From what I can gather:
- TV Tropes is heavily dependent on Google Ads.
- Google Ads has a strong anti-pr0n policy, and will cut off a site at the drop of a hat.
- TV Trope's admins(presumably FE and others) have been engaging in some heavy-handed censorship in order to keep the oxygen supply flowing.
- The admins have instituted a talk-to-the-hand policy when people complain about this.
What I've never seen spelled out is exactly how much money is FE making off of other people's free labor, and where does the money go? (Maybe this is spelled out somewhere on TVTropes, I've never tried to look very hard).
I think this chapter I'm working on was written by someone who doesn't know how to use quotation marks, capital letters, or bullets. Not everything should be bulleted! That defeats the point!
Thanks Tom! That helps.
I just realized the npr reporter is Steve InsKEEP, not Steve Insky.
Not to be confused with John Ydstie: [link]
It still sounds like he is saying "I'm Stevinksy" to me. It reminds me of when I used to take messages and this man kept calling "Joe, from Aldi(the grocery store". I never could figure out why this guy from Aldi was calling my boss, and then I found out his name was actually Joe Fromaldi.
ETA- or the guy at the grocery store who had a charge account that we thought was Pat Pattleinsky. He really owned a business called Pack, Paddle and Ski.
For a long time I thought Vin Scelsa was "Vince Gelsa." And I also thought Shane Victorino was "Vic Torino."
