To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

the sweet spot for a hit tweet is 200 likes, you get the lil dopamine rush from the attention but then it fades before things get annoying, stressful, and/or threatening. anything actually viral that gets like five figure retweets puts the eye of sauron on you and no amount of dopamine is worth that
people who have not gone viral: you are gatekeeping and you’re all lying about it being awful
people who have gone viral: no. seriously. DON’T.

Cancel your Spotify subscription.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Looks like the feds might be using the green zinc chloride gas canisters again. It's toxic and absorbs through the skin; the US DoD stopped using it decades ago due to the effects. Effectively an aerosolized heavy metal (zinc), with all the long term implications heavy metals have.
