Rundfunkreform: Putin, Trump, Musk & Co. kümmern presseähnliche Texte oder Paywalls einen Dreck

Rundfunkreform: Die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen sollen weniger Texte veröffentlichen. Die Verlag setzen weiter auf Abos. Die Jungen schert es einen Dreck, denn die informieren sich über TikTok und Co. Und Putin, Trump, Musk und Co. feixen sich einen.

Die Rundfunkreform: Die Bayern und Sachsen, Herr Söder und Herr Kretschmer (und wohl auch andere) sind dagegen, dass der Rundfunkbeitrag, den wir alle zahlen, erhöht wird. Genau eine solche Erhöhung um 58 Cent auf 18,94 Euro monatlich ab Januar 2025 hat die Kommission zur Ermittlung des Finanzbedarfs (KEF) empfohlen. Der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk genießt zwar sehr viel Vertrauen, aber: “Die…

Has anybody noticed that the #micropayment service #Flattr was shut down in January? Not me! I had a Flattr button on my first, self-programmed website. But as far as I remember I never received a donation via this system. Also #Kachingle, which was absolutely unknown in Germany, seems to have disappeared. #webdev https://web.archive.org/web/20180202112643/https://flattr.com/@Ingram

Before there was Patreon, we managed all of our donor-patrons for the comics manually. There were things like wallpaper links that people would automatically be redirected to after they donated via PayPal so they would get a little something extra as thanks. Higher level donors got custom limited edition bookmarks with a thank you letter (back when sending mail was cheap enough for that to be feasible). If people didn't want to donate, but did want the stuff, then they could buy the wallpapers or bookmarks from our store for a fixed price after the month was up, but most people just chose to donate more than that instead. We had to custom code our own donations meter for our site, because it was so clear that fans actually preferred that as our primary income model.¹ We had to review the donations and their amounts manually every month, and make sure to email everyone their thank-yous manually. Managing donations in this way meant that I learned the names of many of our fans and actually had conversations with them, even if sometimes there were delays on sending all that stuff out.

But, it was a lot of work. I am too disabled now and cannot do any of that work anymore, so I'm glad Patreon makes so much of it automatic for my husband (the artist in question) to still get support for his comics. It was great, back when it was affordable.

But you know... we never actually got rid of the direct link to PayPal. Fans can still cut out the middle man and donate directly if they want. It doesn't have the same backend set up any more, we likely won't even see the donations unless we specifically check the account for them, nor send out all the little extras and thanks, but the ability to be a direct patron still exists. And times like this... I'm really glad we never killed it.

¹ Not that we didn't get a bunch of hate mail for having the effrontery to ask for support and donations on a monthly basis. Back when we first started, people didn't have the culture of expecting to support independent creators on the internet. That's a culture we built, along with other webcomic creators at that time. It is perhaps the best thing I personally have contributed to the world so far, to have helped establish the current cultural expectation of actually supporting artists instead of wholly taking their work for granted. There are still problems with it, of course, but I think it is a genuinely empowering improvement over a world that at the time was gearing up to demand eternally thankless creative slavery from every artist on the internet. (This is all part of the reason the AI bros piss me off so much, they are undoing years of physical and emotional labor on my part and degrading the importance and security of all the artists I worked so hard to foster and protect.)

Please don't use the Patreon app on any iPhone. Apple is charging Patreon users an additional 30% fee.

Patreon is the main source of income for many creators and not everyone can afford an extra 30% on top of what they're already paying.

This is 100% corporate greed and it hurts all of us. If you can avoid using the iPhone Patreon please do so.

휴대폰 소액결제, 정말 월 100만 원까지 쓸 수 있을까? 가능하긴 한데, 연체 이력이 있으면 한도가 확 줄어든다는 사실. 한도 상향? 그냥 되는 게 아니라 명의자가 직접 통신사에 문의해야 가능.

This is at least the third time this has happened with Patreon as it also happened in 2022 and 2021, and I believe also happened in 2020 and 2018. Every time, it's because Patreon changes the financial institution overseas it processes payments through, and every time a bunch of banks and credit card companies flag the transactions as potential fraud because of it.

You'd think after doing this multiple times they would know to warn banks ahead of time or at the very least warn Patreon creators and users...

Patreon done goofed.

If you haven't been made aware, Patreon shat the bed at the start of this billing cycle:

I had quite a few Patrons knocked off the roll this time around. If you got declined or a fraud warning or something, please be patient and try to stay on top of it.

Considering Grady's health issues, this comes at a really bad time. Pitching in would be appreciated.

On my mind: why has there been such an increase in adulation and loyalty toward obviously defective people like Trump and Musk? Have people become more gullible than they were when I was younger? Seems unlikely. We internalized all sorts of stupid shit too, but it wasn't so focused on personalities. Then it struck me: the problem is that we've lost faith in institutions and personalities are what's left. Consider...

Politicians: believe it or not, we used to trust that they were at least sane and working generally for some vision of public good, even when we disagreed. Not since Nixon, Reagan, Dubya, etc.

Journalists: we used to trust them to report the facts in a reasonably objective way, even when that isn't necessarily what they were doing. Then came Fox and that all went out the window.

TV/radio media became all about engagement, a form of entertainment, not actual reporting. Now it's all podcasts and TikTok or YouTube, but basically same. There are some who believe one particular favorite speaks the truth, but few who would say these folks in general are trustworthy.

Print media failed in a different way, partly by being partisans for the establishment (e.g. NYT and the Iraq war) but mostly by totally missing the boat on going online. They could have agreed on a single shared subscription or micropayment system, but they each had to be greedy with their own paywalls etc. So their lunch got eaten by social media (who bear their own share of blame for eroding trust), and the press got even more unhinged about it.

Science, engineering, academe: we used to believe promises about new miracle materials, chemicals, drugs, etc. Even before anti-vaccine lunacy became a thing, a long string of disasters - microplastics, DDT, thalidomide - changed that.

Unions: they've experienced a resurgence very recently, but that's almost a "dead cat bounce" after being moribund for decades. Some people would blame Reagan and PATCO. I think the collapse of major union-heavy industries - auto, steel, mining - had more to do with it, but the result was the same.

I could go on - there's a whole other post I could write about the mixed role of churches in this context - but you get the idea. The fact that in many cases there were good reasons to withdraw our trust doesn't change the fact that such a general withdrawal creates a vacuum which we've filled with hero worship instead. That's where people like Musk and Trump come from.

Here's the kicker: it's not an accident. Undermining trust in institutions has been part of the authoritarian playbook since forever. Julius Caesar is the earliest example that most people would be familiar with, hence the silly illustration, but the phenomenon goes back much further than that. Creating that vacuum is central to authoritarian strategy. Remember Reagan's "nine most terrifying words"? Some people think of that as a libertarian statement but, with the so-called Moral Majority and various militia groups (then as now galvanized by immigration) behind him, that misses the mark. It was part of an authoritarian strategy, demeaning the administrative state and permanent civil service (i.e. institutions) in favor of raw executive power (i.e. personalities).

I'm all for unions, co-ops, mutual aid, etc. but they can't stand alone. Never have. Without a government enforcing rules (including against itself), anarchy will always evolve toward autocracy. If you think the role of government should be minimized, then congratulations, you're part of the Reagan Left ... or worse. A red hat with a hammer and sickle on it is still a red hat. You are effectively supporting authoritarianism whether you mean to or not. Also, since there's no significant left-authoritarian element in US politics - no Stalin or Mao and thank FSM for that - that means you're supporting right-authoritarians. You should stop, especially if you're a member of a group that would suffer most under such a regime.

By the late 1990s, ex-hacker Bruce Fancher was involved in a series of start-ups where he founded and started companies and then sold after a few years. The best-known of these appears to be DuoCash, a micropayments company made infamous through a series of photographs posted on MindVox, taken from the DuoCash office building, located across the street from where the World Trade Center had stood a few days before.
