Calm down buddy. These are retail jobs in an industry where retail has been shrinking for years.

Yeah bud, that's the point.

You just proved that worth is in fact not completely subjective. So thanks?

Huh? That is literally how it works. 

With Trump being broke, I want that shit transferred into my bank account every morning

As a person of color, I have met the full range of white people. The, “well meaning smart (or thinks they are smart) guy who is just saying as it is” seems to be this dudes trope.

Baffle, as per dictionary.com “to confuse, bewilder, or perplex.”

Its not public knowledge who owns the gaming rights to spiderman. 

Huh. Sounds like that misplaced energy in “struggling through long hours with 0 viewers,” and hate for a faceless corporation, could be used for literally anything else.

You didn’t read what I wrote then at all. I am not saying he shouldn’t be accused nor am I condoning his actions.

What is this? From what I can tell, this is an article that states someone is working while having been previously accused for sexual harrassment.

Ha ha ha. This is so good. Are you trying out for some kind of show? Like fox news commenter but for video games?

Ha ha ha ha. What?

Wouldn’t this article be best broken up into two? You spend the first 3/4s on the DMCA deletion in videos, (subject of the article) but the final quarter about how this could be beneficial for the artists in getting free exposure, and how the record labels are applying draconian measures etc.

As mentioned in the article, there weren’t any other options remaining. Too many streamers were infringing and the label requests to take down the offending audio was coming too quickly and often.

That’s the joke......

I had no idea this was based on a real kid!

Well, why don’t you click on the link to the article and see for yourself. Below the headline and above the article it clearly states that they will receive a commission on purchased drives from that article.

The problem is not this post, but the fact that Kotaku is now making articles about certain external hard drives, and they themselves get a commission on those hard drives sold.

I think it’s shocking that you have posted this article, which would be “news”, but is really an article to get more eyeballs to the article yesterday, which was an advertisement.
