schestowitz[TR2][02:18] <Source>  Come to the realization that letting things slide with sexual predators at workAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:18] <Source> Is sex trafficking[02:19] <Source> It's literally part of my job every time someone sexually harasses me and HR tells me to shut upAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:19] <Source> I'm a sex worker when that happens[02:19] <Source> And not by choiceAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:19] <Source> I'm being trafficked [02:19] <Source> Obviously there's levels of severity to everything but it's the logical conclusion[02:21] <Source> one of the apple whistleblowers was quite literally told to have sex with a vendor by her boss[02:22] <Source> https://www.ashleygjovik.com/ashleys-apple-story.htmlAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:22] <Source> Her story is really interestingAug 24 04:54

schestowitz[TR2][02:23] <Source> https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/01/children-sex-trafficking-conspiracy-epidemic/620845/Aug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:23] <Source> But I sought in relation to this and someone pointed out the connection that job's ex wife owns the AtlanticAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:23] <Source> So that lends some credibility but they only places I have been able to find the source of that photo are conspiracy sitesAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:24] <schestowitz> ah, too much misnofmation onlikneAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:24] <schestowitz> also regarding Steve JobsAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:25] <schestowitz> police sites are connected to a physical operationAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:25] <schestowitz> the site is just a window to thatAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:27] <Source> Yeah I mean it seems plausibleAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:27] <Source> I don't know Jobs owned the AtlanticAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:27] <Source> Seems like they all have their own media outletsAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:28] <Source> I keep on wondering why somebody doesn't make a decentralized crypto micropayment org to allow articles to be pay-per-view [02:29] <Source> Like if we were able to pay for each article using the same currency[02:29] <Source> It doesn't even have to be crypto if that's a concern it could just be a micro payment system where you buy credits. [02:29] <Source> But every single news site wants to rope you into a subscriAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2]ption that you'll probably forget you haveAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:29] <Source> So I end up never subscribing to anythingAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:29] <schestowitz> we are no friends of "crypto" "money"Aug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <Source> Where is I'd probably spend $20 a month on reading random articlesAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <schestowitz> if you look at Techrights  Daily LinksAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <schestowitz> it's an energy hogAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <Source> I mean it's arguable that the ends justify the meansAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <schestowitz> we also oppose paywallsAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <schestowitz> they kill the open WWWAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <Source> Well journalist need to get paid somehowAug 24 04:54

schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <schestowitz> but that's not the right wayAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <schestowitz> andAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <Source> Well ads are biasedAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:30] <schestowitz> it doesn't workAug 24 04:54

schestowitz[TR2][02:31] <Source> Makes you beholden to your advertisersAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:31] <schestowitz> paywalls always fail at the endAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:31] <Source> It seems like the new trend is for them to just be propaganda machines for billionairesAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:31] <Source> If the government ran it as a public service than the government wouldn't be accountableAug 24 04:54

schestowitz[TR2][02:31] <schestowitz> GuardianAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:32] <schestowitz> Der SpiegelAug 24 04:54
schestowitz[TR2][02:32] <Source> Well I mean that's why I think a decentralized payment system even if it's not cryptocurrency would be better[02:32] <Source> Do you know of course there's the "influencer journalists" as well[02:32] <Source>  Of course a larger organization has better mechanisms for quality and fact checking[02:33] <Source> OK well I'll let you go I know it's super late and thank you so much for all your workAug 24 04:54

schestowitz[TR2]                                                <p> Was it useful or worth it? It's a question that comes up occasionally, and the answer is mixed. I believe it showed real potential, though the reality of our implementation was somewhat underwhelming and didn't really deliver. There are many lessons learned that are worth sharing with other projects that might face similar endeavours. </p>Aug 24 11:42
