A source for Axios put the number "well below" $20 million.

its previous $1.1 billion worth

JFC! I guess they got karmically punished for their censorship BS, but it’s too bad that all the communities still got impacted by it 😕

Can't wait for white rooms and data servers/centers terrorism.

Well it is worth what people are ready to pay for, a series of 0 and 1 just did almost 3 billion at the box office.

Good point.

Tarantino, Nolan and Spielberg would surive the date center apocalypse.

Celluloid yo !

Loved the idea photographs survived the death of hard drives.

Apparently, in 2018 it reached about 33 zettabyte (predicted to grow to 175 zettabyte by 2025)

 

Zettabyte = 1,000 * 1 million Terabyte.

tumblr has been "dying" for years.  That place is Hotel California.  Every years something happens, and the userbase threatens to go to another platform; or another platform tries to step up, but doesn't have to resource or services to handle the new userbase.

Yeah I'm just thinking it goes down without regard for what replaces it. Porn ban already cut the userbase in half.

Euphoria.

The TV  SHow that wants you to believe the US youth is to feel sorry for while they live in the most prosperous time in the history of the workd by far in the weathiest country of the world where you don't heve to do much to have everything ( every effort is done by machines, robots and computers or slave shops abroad).

Oh the fucking irony.

But the course correction is coming and soon, people won't kill themselves because they were harrased on Twitter.

Somehow, someday, we will have to teach these toddlers the value of things.

Not gonna happen any time soon when immature people aka boomers aka the hedonists  run this shit show.

 

A chinese man who runs a french café near where I live used to eat roots to survive in the 90's, some 25 years a go.

He would probably throw up watching Euphoria.

 

The course correction can't come soon enough really.

serves the tumblr execs right, banning porn on what's basically a porn site, made no sense whatsoever. Glad the company has collapsed.
