Also a lot of video game footage from livestreams, etc.

I doubt they delete anything. Just add a flag to the datastore so users don’t see it, but they can still sell it or train AI on it or whatever.

Thanks for rating this human. I have updated this human’s score on a piece of paper next to my keyboard.

When I’ve worked at startups I’ve received stock options. Pardon my amateur explanation, but they’re basically the option of purchasing some amount of the company at a specific price (strike price) by a certain date (if the company is public).

If you believe the company will do well, or you can wait long enough before being forced to buy or forfeit them, then you can buy at that strike price. If the stock value is higher than your strike price when you sell, then you have made money that you can now be taxed on. If you’ve bought the options and the value is lower than your strike price, then you’ve got a loss if you sell. You can also hold the shares until they go up, or ride it all the way down to $0.

I’ve heard about companies that will buy your options as a way of purchasing equity in private companies, but I have no experience with them.

That’s the best explanation I can give. I’m no expert, so please fact check me if you’re in a position where this is relevant.

I’m so close to wasting half of my evening looking up the population size of all zoomers, or at least in the US, and then seeing if OF released user numbers because I’m fairly confident it’s not even remotely possible that 25% of them are content creators on there.

I’m resisting the urge.

I suspect they invested in companies that sell VPNs.

Boomer? This is an irrational joke.
