A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Doesn’t quite match up since she is the performer here as well.

Sorry for the confusion ... but I was referring to Pornhub and Youtube ... both platforms that do nothing but host yet receive all or most of the revenue for all the activity, performances and creativity of everyone who posts anything on those platforms. They are both like Ticketmaster, they do very little for anyone in the equation, they don't create, they don't perform, they don't provide support, they just guide audiences to the performance, yet receive the majority of the benefit of the transaction.

You're not wrong, but also you kinda ignore how capital intensive it is to run a video hosting platform. That shit is hard to do at scale and it takes many nerds with expensive salaries. Doesn't mean they should get to control the revenue sharing though. Ticketmaster is just a scam.
