  • Who is wasting resources on this? Seems a bit pointless.

    Also, I think its rather perverted that if someone makes it clear they want to be left alone/anonymous, the society/media declares “NO!” and goes to insane lengths to figure out who they are.

    Same thing happened with Lordi, the Finnish metal band. When they won eurovision, the main guy said “I would appreciate if we could stay anonymous, or at least not have our real faces plastered all over.” So of course the largest gossip magazine in Finland felt the need to plaster his face on the cover of their stupid magazine.

    Though that did lead to a funny thing… There was a “campaign” to boycott the magazine called “käännä Seiska” - “turn Seiska.” My friend didn’t get the full idea, since “käännä” is a slang for stealing. So he stole a bunch of those magazines from a shop, only realized he was supposed to turn them upside down not steal them, after he got home with a pile of Seiska magazines.



















  • That’s encouraging to hear.

    I guess I’m just a pessimist who thinks these people will never go away. I would love to be proven wrong.

    My personal anecdotal half evidences is from following reddits conspiracy and right wing weirdos. From what I’ve seen, as their silly subreddits get banned, the community does splinter, the user base gets smaller but the new subs that they create usually are worse than the ones that were banned. Though they don’t seem to last as long or make as much noise as the original ones, which is obviously good.
