Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

"Content creators" are legitimately one of the single worst things to have happened.
Eh, there is a ton of content creators who make cool stuff and don't endanger other people.
"Content creators" is in quotes because the person you're responding to isn't talking about everyone who posts content to Youtube, they're referring to a specific culture derived from a subset of that group who will cravenly create any sort of material regardless of how much physical or societal harm can come from it. Examples: this plane-crashing psychopath, people creating "pranks" that hurt others or get kids to kill themselves, literally all and any alt-right media, etc.
