So there's a couple things. Inevitably hosting a video site is expensive as hell, not to mention getting brands to use something requires more than just users. For the former, recurring donations can take the pain away and is in the spirit of the Fediverse as we know it. But with advertising, you have a guarantee and as things develop, brands will go crazy to target their desired demographics. Which is something that the Fediverse isn't really on board with from a fundamental point of view. All in all, it's easy to say it was only a joke. That would be far more believable if not for the vindictive actions that followed. It's not the first questionable thing Dansup has done and it won't be the last. In this case I think he could've just posed the question and had an open discussion about it.

I'm glad that the community is supporting Hazycora for taking a moral stand.

This is so weird from the outside looking in. I haven't heard of any of these people and my experience with the loops video player is that it looks like one or two people just post little pointless videos sometimes on someone's hobby website.

This post feels like someone taking their little five person lunchroom drama and putting it in like a town newspaper as if any other readers should feel the need to know about it.

Can someone give more info on this one? Seems kinda fresh and I don't want to go digging deep into replies.

seems like quite a mess, but hazellll is based af

What do you mean by "mutual accusations"?
