...and the most ironic thing is that imgflip has already initiated its own demise.
Anyone remembers LiveLeak? Used to be one of the big thing in the webs, had even its 15 minutes of fame in the newsrooms. First for its shock value, but later as a teeming place for all the fascists around. Until they had taken over. And from that moment on, the demise of LiveLeak began.
Unnoticable at first, but gaining momentum with proportionally increasing speed. Today, even the fascists who had been using LiveLeak regulary are considering this site as dead.
imgflip is likely to meet the same fate - minus the 15 minutes of fame. Either this site will implode since...well, all that circle jerkings and the reacharounds are no fun when it happens with the same set of turds and their alts and no one else to watch them.
No one else but the media, and maybe the authorities too. So far, the media weren't too kind with the rallying places of the right-wingers, and often enough once they had directed the spotlights on sites like imgflip the authorities are likely to investigate into them too.
Yep - shit is going to happen inevitably if you act like acuity12 and his bunch of sycophantic mods who are always turning a blind eye not only towards violations of the own TOS but also ignoring violations of state and US laws. I wonder if their way of smartassing is gaining them any sympathies with the law enforcers who will knock on their doors sooner or later (I say sooner since AOC seems to be on the warpath).
Only the idiot is shitting on the own plate he/she is eating from, but this wisdom evaded acuity12 & Co. so far.
Maybe I'm staying long enough to watch imgflip crashing on the floor, I really don't know. Too bad, since idea and intention are good but...
