i think we've all collectively just gotta stop giving these dumb Breadtube fucks the attention they crave. My quality of life is vastly improved anytime I haven't recently thought about any dumbass cracker Breadtuber. This goes for 99% of them and I'll even lump in streamers (Hasan), social media personalities (pick your favorite 'leftist' on twitter or tiktok), and every substack author in with them.

Goes against the spirit of the comm but I prefer my slop to at least be novel and not attention seeking. Place your bets now on when she will inevitably either deactivate her account again within a week or otherwise just double down on whatever dumbass reactionary bullshit she's trying to peddle.

23,958 Paid members on Patreon by the way. Assuming all 24,000 of those paid members is only shelling out $2.00/month for the cheapest membership tier Natalie offers, that's $47,916/month, which is like 8k more than I make a year after taxes. $574k/year. If we assume half of those 24,000 pay $5/month for Contrapoint's 'outtakes' and 'behind the scenes' videos, that's $59,485/month or $718k/year. If you assume the other half of those 24,000 are still cheap bastards paying $2/month, that's still $23,985/month or $287k/year - which means, if we're being realistic - Natalie Wynn probably pulls close to a million dollars a year before taxes for....posting shit takes on twitter occasionally.

She's on my Cask of Amontillado list.

I will not let you slander Klippenstein like this.

Say what you want about the rest of them though.

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago

Yeah Kenny Klipz is too good. Lee Oswald images for veterans Day lol

[–] abc@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

Klippenstein is a journalist not a substack author. I was talking more like Matt Taibbi, Matthew Yglesias, et al. Neither of whom are anywhere close to being 'leftist', mainly because they already had brainworms long before it was a thing, but the platform itself certainly doesn't help. Case in point: the msot popular political/journalism substack is Bari Weiss' i-cant

there is one (1) good cracker twitter personality, his name is adam from nimashiraziandadamjohnson duo soviet-huff is media criticism effective as a whole? no. still good consistent anchor

[–] abc@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

he doesn't count because he doesn't actively try to grow the the-podcast audience on his personal account (nor does he even repost the damn episodes when they get tweeted out), he doesn't show up at political rallies/campaign events; he is only interested in critiquing political media/journalists, which I can respect.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

Also he's just an OG poster, a posters' poster. The man was like the based sheriff of Kinja back in the day.

[–] abc@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I have no idea who that is (thankfully i imagine??) but if you're implying they are trapped in the Montresors catacombs, I cannot help you...I am in poor health & the vaults are terribly damp and encrusted with nitre...

Madeline Pendleton is pretty excellent, and has single handedly been carrying the war on Western brain worms for a minute now

i love madeline pendleton but it's probably better for you you're not on tiktok enough to have heard about them
