funny, I was thinking the other day why Lemmy very actively uses very old memes, especially Saddam Hussein and :.|:; then I remembered that this is mostly people who ran away from reddit after the nth overreach, looking fondly back to the pre-enshittification era. makes sense they’re bringing back and referencing old memes too.
We don’t have a big corporation forcing us to suck every dick in the advertising industry. Old/edgy memes, porn, over the top arguments about politics, and unhinged content are the defenses against advertisers. Make it high risk and low profit and that keeps them from getting entrenched and ensharting.
Be a brand risk or be sold to the brand. The reason 4chan remains “pure” is because they do the online equivalent of firing a gun out the window to lower property.
