They don’t care about the realities because they make money however hateful the user is to other users. None of these platforms, FB, Twitter, reddit, etc are ever going to do anything meaningful about trolls because those are some of the most dedicated users.

I’m pretty sure this person has been around before and, well... I think this is all the context we’re ever gonna get! Which is a damn shame bc I am DYING to know what the videos were and who they were sent to and why. It’s one of the great sadnesses of Kinja.

Oh well. Only nine more months until you can put all your wishes in a letter to Santa.

Why would they want to hide their most popular stories? Because you don’t like them?

The sidebar is auto generated by the amount of clicks a story has been getting. So the most popular stories will always be there. It’s not an active decision to promote certain content; that decision is being made by traffic.

A twit, eh? I don’t think I was being a twit. I think you just feel upset because you were wrong.

FWIW the Alec Baldwin VF story you link to here isn’t the cover story. It’s a short piece about him playing Trump on SNL. The cover story is here:

Do you actually believe this? Because the Ides of March is the 15th.

I wonder if Donald Trump looks at his sons and thinks, man, those kids just are not good looking.

I keep getting the feeling that Jez writers don’t really get Red Nose Day? This is an *entirely* comic revue style event. Every. single. thing. that is broadcast (aside from entreaties to send money) is a joke. This is a skit. The Love, Actually reboot is a joke. IT’S ALL SATIRE AND JOKES.

The drawing was creepy. Weirdly objectifying and then you don’t get to see it? Creepy.

That’s a strong response. I’m assuming (and don’t want to say this lightly but...) there’s probably some trauma involved for the people who got anxious watching this. My fight or flight response was definitely triggered and this relaxing music everyone keeps mentioning felt David Lynch style uncanny to me.

Why is there nothing in his cupboards? Is he wanking? What is happening?

I wanted to see that picture so bad. STOP LOOKING AT ME! WHAT DID YOU DRAW?

I think there may be some confusion over who can view this? Also, we don’t actually know who’s account this was streaming from. If they somehow used her FB acct, it would show in the feeds of her friends and anyone else who wanted to view, it would need to be set to public (which is unusual) and somehow be let known…

No comping alcoholic drinks in California.

I got as far as you calling me hon and immediately skipped the rest. Go fuck yourself.

You’re getting very pissy about a very basic thing. Proof reading blog posts for a large blogging platform is not the same as submitting papers. You have less time, less warning and are working on a set blogging format which can make it very difficult to adequately proof read. I’m glad you’re awesome at copy editing…

Hm. Ok. So how frequently are you asked to write between three and seven perfect 500-2000 word pieces a day for public consumption, assuming that you’re allocated your topics at the beginning of each day, by the Jez editors who are expected to trawl through endless topical issues and assign them to on duty staff each…

What? Bad punctuation? Possibly, but Jezebel is also a blog with a ferociously high turn over rate and demand for speed. It’s also notoriously difficult to copy edit your own work. Totally permissible given the medium. The NYT, however, can shell out for a freaking copy editor in its boring think tripes.
