thinking about putting google ads on the site to help support the cost of being alive

i think that anyone who does what they need to do to survive in an oppressive post-industrial capitalist hellscape isn't at fault for that. we're trapped in a system that values profit and gives you no choice but to support that system in order to get the basic necessities you need to survive. if you need to put ads on your site so you can get the things you need to live, then don't let anyone give you crap about it

if I did this the announcement would come with a "here's what adblocker to use" I dunno. I gotta eat somehow and we're getting good numbers. No ads, no promotionals, no ends.

I would love to! Are there any guidelines for the type of stuff you like to publish? angles/topics?

whyishoudini 7 months ago

At the moment the only editoral guidelines I have on paper are for video game stuff specifically, but here's the thing, if you like what we have in the mag already, chances are whatever you write will fit in just fine

Cool. What are your rules on cross-posting? I'm working on a feature for my site that actually might work but I would also want a version hosted on my site later.

whyishoudini 7 months ago

We ask for one month of exclusivity then you can post it anywhere.

A blood economy where babies die on camera for engagement metrics while their killers earn speaking fees.

I don't understand why people don't want to join the patreon for literally $1 dollar. Literally the change on your drawer, I'm not worth it. This site isn't worth it. And that speaks to me volumes. I'm seriously considering shutting the magazine down. I'm burnt out, I have little to no material support, and I'm sick of the idea that everyone is waiting for me to have a lucky break. The left eats their own.

Hey! Thank you! I'm kinda crashing out because the job market has been extremely rough in my field and I had just landed a basic ass job at 7/11 and they hired to many people and literally had to let me go the second day I was at work. Been feeling so much pressure to make this website make money and it's not good for me or the project

Goddamn? The second day? That last sentence hits though because I keep trying to build up an art following so I can eventually make money off of it but I get like two followers in a year. Sucks lol

whyishoudini 7 months ago

I want the magazine to be a platform for other artists too, like you should be able to send in some works to get promoted, but it all takes so much time

It is my belief that companies like itch.io would do the exact same thing—if and when payment processors demand they remove content that references Palestine, content that is anti-ICE, content that is pro-trans. If Visa and MasterCard said, "Sorry, you have to remove all references to trans people, that's Trump’s orders," they would do that, and they would do it in a heartbeat.

All content we host on itch.io will be removed from the platform out of solidarity. We will be re-working the zine rack and arcade pages to no longer need itch.io.

itch.io has removed all NSFW content from their site in an effort to get ahead of payment processor based censorship.

It does not escape me that those who speak the loudest about theory, about "revolutionary potential", about how "the time for revolution is not now, all we can do is read our books and share our youtube videos", have become the same media class that seeks to redirect our revolutionary energy towards imperialists like AOC. How many of your favorite streamers, speakers, and bluesky shills gave air to her rallies?

Let those people stand with her on the gallows as genocide supporters all the same.
