I appreciate Jewsh. He taught me the important lesson that networking with others in your industry is important and to avoid burning bridges as one day you might need to ask those people for help.
another part is chosing the right people to network with, 5 years ago Null had a fairly extensive group of "friends" the problem is those bridges were burned and mostly not by him, but thats because the people he was friends with were guys like :dick masterson,ethan ralph, nick rekita,hotwheels, CRP, etc.
It reminds me of my sister who hung with the burnout freaks in high school, the ones that didn't die are living a life where they wish they did, ironically enough her being forced to babysit me and the other geeks meant she formed connections she still keeps up with and has used to this day.
obviously the picks are slim when you're in this sphere of the internet if you want to avoid pedos/anime fans but even then he really associated with the worst. he should have reached out to more mainstream people or at least attempted to reach out. just the title of owner of the kiwifarms means he's got quite a lot of notoriety. Chrissy Myer and Shane Gillis were geeking out about the farms 5 years ago, imagine how much more noise he would have on his side right now if he followed up or reached out to them. Joe Rogan's successor and a woman with the top porn podcast and fringe right wing podcast were hyping up this guy and he couldn't be fucking bothered. same way he couldn't be bothered when it came to being a vidya streamer despite literally not even pausing his games half the time he was on the dick show.
if we're being honest here his hard stances on stuff that the average person would agree with probably has done him more harm but it also is what has given him as good of a reputation in the normiesphere, but because he never took advantage of that outside of interviews with dick masterson or the killstream him having normie politics hasn't done him a lick of fucking good.
Any podcast with any traction should have gotten him on, just at minimum because it could get more eyes on what he considers his real job MATI; instead he'd rather be lazy and poorer. There's a reason every celebrity or comedian does every fucking morning show or podcast or youtube faggotry in order to promote their shit when statistically its probably a waste of time. If one more person out of the millions watching discovers you and follows you from it then its worth it.
Its especially worse now because chris chan and lolcows have gotten fairly mainstream the last 5 years. literally having comedians on SNL and actors in superbowl commmericals talking about them. The fact that he's not at minimum Sam Hyde levels of fame specifically so he could have friends in high places to combat his enemies friends is part of why he's so fucked now. Especially when TERFs have exploded in the last 4 years. The fact that we don't have leaked audio of Vanessa Vokey masturbating to null when that would have likely happened shows how lazy he's been with one of the key parts of running such a site, which is promoting/hyping up the org. There's a reason we still have those faggy walks for the cure when we all know about breast cancer and why we have commericals for toilet paper and fast food despite market saturation happening a long time ago. And despite how much he whines about it kiwifarms is just as much of an organization or charity as the ADL or St.Judes. Or at least it should be seen as such, the amount of outreach he could have been doing just to get people to help him when he's as fucked as he is ow is insane. Look at the fishtank and how quickly Sam had dozens of weirdos contacting him with ways to decreases his costs by 80% once that website dropped. Null should have already had the site up by now and have had an uptime of 93% the last 9 months instead of 39%
. I liked KF and the Kiwis, they were really funny and smart for the most part, at least in the threads that I was frequenting. I just can't stand Null being cranky and angry with everyone all the time, and all the fucking far-right cranks he kept bringing to the site (
"He's bringing home his weird-ass friends"). I would just block someone on KF if their posts were too overtly far-right, but everyone else had noticed the increase in unhinged far-right cranks. There are testimonies to that happening here on OF as well.
So he courted the Natsees, and now his site is still offline. How did that work out?
you're also pro-trans just like anyone else that considers TERFs far right. Plus its not null's fault that the left doesn't care about free speech. In fact just the concept of having memory in general is right wing, especially to anyone pro-trans. So just by liking the site you too are a far-right wing nutjob.
Also you'd think with the site down the posting per day here would have skyrocketed, on the flip side you'd also think Null could have reached agreements with other splinter sites to do what he did when KIwifarms and ED had to combine forces for a month. Just have meeting places to go to when the lights go out, after hours bars sotospeak.
