in the comments of the aforementioned list of 90s toys one person said -- unironically -- that our era will never live up to the 90s. this based on street sharks, hit clips, and orange nickelodeon video cassettes.

Is there anything that can actually be done to kill the Buzzfeeds and HuffPos?

I started making BF quizzes in 2017, in HS. That was my initial bio after I got my first quiz promoted. I was happy and couldn’t believe my quiz was good enough for BF to promote it. I know it’s not gonna happen, i just thought it was funny & i haven’t really thought of it since https://t.co/pCPqGb5pbu

― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 01:52 (six years ago)

So how much of their quiz revenue is reliant on this one unpaid user not stopping?

― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 02:16 (six years ago)

*hire

― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 02:16 (six years ago)

because they can get the content without paying a cent

― mh, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 03:13 (six years ago)

yeah that makes sense.

i don't know what i'd do if these ilx paychecks stopped.

I must be sending to the wrong Venmo address, mea culpa

Oh good, Twitter seems to be persuading her to leverage her traffic and ask for payment.

Between April 2017 and December 2018, Rachel drove a conservative estimate of $3.8m in revenue for BuzzFeed (or 1% of their entire 2018 revenue). For free. https://t.co/H5U0xhnDPZ
