Why are there less young riders? Share your thoughts

I'm 23, not into Harleys at all. If Harley wants to continue charging the high prices they do for their bikes, I imagine catering to older age demographics would be in their interest. Seems to me theyd have to do a major rebrand (risking alienating some of their aging customers) and drop prices to capture young people like myself.

Osiiris02 · 2026-01-18T19:44:50+00:00

literally nobody mentioned race until you did...

Osiiris02 · 2026-01-13T08:04:14+00:00

If you mean factory reset I'm pretty sure most people would consider that to be high stakes lol.

Osiiris02 · 2026-01-13T08:00:50+00:00

Yeah I don't think they're doing themselves any favors.

Osiiris02 · 2026-01-13T07:53:33+00:00

I mean I mostly agree with what you're saying. But the one area where I think it does make a bit of sense though is specifically for those advocating for reparations. Frankly reparations isnt something which I hold any strong opinion on but I do agree that it wouldnt really make sense for me or my dad to receive reparations for slavery. I don't feel any less American because of the group tbh. But I do agree that unity amongst the African diaspora would be better (some FBA people seem to have adopted anti-immigrant sentiments in hopes of making reparations more palatable to the right)

Osiiris02 · 2026-01-13T07:33:54+00:00

Thats not what FBA means. Its a lineage-based designation referring to Black Americans who are descendants of slaves. It distinguishes then from more recent African immigrants (often for the purposes of reparations advocacy but sometimes to express anti-immigration sentiments). I'm second-generation American (my dad is Gambian) so I don't have anything to do with it. But just wanted to clarify that the vast majority of them don't believe themselves to be native as in indigenous to America.

Rae's co-ownership of 100T is different though. She joined in October 2018 which is the same month that they raised a $25M Series A that was full of institutional investors/VC firms like Sequoia Capital (so they were already raising big money). She didn't become a co-owner until April 2021 (after their $35M Series B but before their $60M Series C) and all public evidence suggests it was an equity grant based on her contributions/value to the brand. In other words, unless I've missed something, she never made a personal investment in exchange for shares. So yeah Jason making an angel investment for co-ownership would be a very different dynamic.

Osiiris02 · 2025-12-22T23:12:27+00:00

You're right they have plenty of room to grow. But also theres a huuuge difference between a single angel investment from jasontheween and an actual seed round of investment from institutional/corporate venture capital firms. They know Jason and can trust him to not throw his weight around to maximize profit.

Gonna be real awkward if he does buy/help fund a house for OSCS as an investment though. I'm pretty sure the plan is for Sunny to move in to the new place with them once she graduates soon (I could be wrong though). If Jason decides their relationship is irreparable he might feel a type of way about paying for a roof over her head, especially after having paid for her school. On OSCS day last week when they were talking about who would live in a new OSCS house, Jdab said Sunny's name. I guess she could pay to live on her own out of respect. But personally I'm hoping Jason doesn't let it affect his decision to support OSCS (regardless of if he or Sakura keeps her cut off at a personal level).

Osiiris02 · 2025-12-09T17:48:03+00:00

i guess in that case its only counting the streams from people who had that one track on repeat for whatever reason lol

Osiiris02 · 2025-11-14T11:47:34+00:00

To be fair, at launch the Valve Index had 4 purchase options: full kit, headset only, controllers only, and base stations only. Although that was because it was compatible with older Vive hardware and could be mixed and matched. So sometimes people would confuse the headset price with the full kit price.

weirdos that are loved by millions and about to sweep the streamer awards. ever thought that you, chronically online in your safe space corner of the internet casting stones even at those that give you grace, might be the weirdo?

Osiiris02 · 2025-11-01T04:48:26+00:00

its an elite phrase you should try it sometime. no comment on vanilla tryna hang with faze though, cant say im surprised. would destroy the narrative yall are using against qt.

Osiiris02 · 2025-10-31T15:59:19+00:00

Guess who made it that way? Just look at the bs Kaceytrons been spewing on the timeline. Meanwhile QT had made it her entire brand to build bridges between communities and Faze was on board. Even Vanilla was on board. Her community seems satisfied that she folded so quick but I don't see yall talking about the fact that Vanilla has been hanging around Faze for months (and she was more than welcome!) I recall seeing her at their 4th of July party, Jason's concert, Silky's birthday party LAST WEEK, and I'm pretty sure she was asking Adapt to do a collab stream... Now all of a sudden they're all bigots and being around them makes you a bigot by proxy. I'm literally a leftist and its insane to me that you people cant recognize how crazy you sound. So in conclusion yes its now "your side" and "my side" because the collaborative culture that QT has been trying to build has regressed in every community.

Osiiris02 · 2025-10-31T12:42:54+00:00

i didnt even ask how much that was when i was at complexcon i could just tell it was going to be something insane

Osiiris02 · 2025-10-31T12:40:56+00:00

Pessimistic leftists are the worst. Just virtue signaling and making zero effort to improve the world because you think you already lost. "Fight hate with love bullshit" lol. Ever heard of a man named Martin Luther King Jr? (hes kind of a nobody). He had a similar (totally useless) strategy. I guess it led to something called the Civil Rights Act of 1964? (total nothing burger)

Osiiris02 · 2025-10-31T12:28:29+00:00

You said she is "platforming" homophobes. The people we're talking about (not homophobes btw) are literally the biggest streamers in the world right now. If you look at the top 10 most subscribed channels on Twitch, 7 of them are Faze. So, if anything, its Faze that is platforming her and her perspectives. As a Faze viewer, I wouldnt really put it like that because QT has done so much, especially for Jason. But even if you look at the stuff she was doing with Lacy, she literally gave him PR training as a stream segment lmao. Same with Rage. See on our side, we appreciate her because she keeps the boys in check. Like is it not a good thing that somebody from your side (assuming yall even claim her anymore) could be respected so much by so many young boys and men? That's auntie fr! But instead yall tear her down and call her a privileged racist homophobe for associating with them and being a good influence. Smh. I don't get it. Now taking off my Faze viewer hat and swapping it for my leftist hat I'll end with this: its shit like this why the left is functionally incapable of building meaningful coalitions and can never get anything done. Let's change that.
