    In times like this, especially when the original twitter post gets ratio’d to shit, it’s important to evaluate where they’re getting their numbers. I see they post a link to Rumble. I’ve never heard of this before, what is it?

    Rumble
    Rumble is a video platform where you can watch live and on-demand content from various categories, such as news, politics, gaming, sports, viral, power slap and finance. You can also discover new creators, join communities, and support your favorite channels on Rumble.

    Um… I don’t know what Power Slap is but ok, it’s a youtube clone.

    Oh fuck me it’s a right wing nutjob site. This post is fucking dogshit, trashing Wikipedia because it helps counter their propaganda. Fuck that noise.

    Happily other people noticed this fucking nonsense:

    So I have no idea what the Lunduke Journal is, so I spent a couple minutes googling it to find its run by a Qanon guy and they themselves say their “tech satire” so… Maybe not someone you should trust with facts.

    He says elsewhere that it’s a “liberal cesspool” so you know where is problem really is.

      Also the CEO makes $400k if anyone just wanted that information. I had to listen to 60% of that dudes video to get to that point.

      This doesn’t seem insane to me. It’s high for the average joe, but it’s not competitive at all with other big tech CEO total comp.

      This lunduke recently posted the same shit against Mozilla, and sadly a lot of ppl here in lemmy are buying their crap and started bashing Mozilla for everything, at least in the posts I saw recently. I think ppl still believe that free software should be made from free labor.
