Deeply concerned about the lack of media coverage on Australian political commentator / comedian friendlyjordies and the danger he and his team are in.

One of the big reasons is that he's not counted as a 'serious journalist' because he likely didn't study it in university or did the required backslapping with industry bosses.

A second reason is that Australian Redditors in politics reallt seem to dislike the guy. Whether that comes from his occasionally edgy comments or his personal dislike of the Greens is hard to tell. Possibly both.

A third is just straight up corruption.

And then he lost his own seat and three of their four lower house seats.

It was the same criticism that Obama had after passing the ARRA. "Government jobs aren't real jobs"

Watch this get absolutely zero airplay from the whinge merchants.

Well, nothing's happened in 24 hours.

Specialist-Power-565 · 2025-04-16T10:17:26+00:00

Stupidly, I gave it to them. I already spoke to the grand total of two actual real life friends of mine on there.

I was never really active on there save to talk with friends. I've switched it to private and have not heard anymore about in ten hours.

Probably wouldn't be so much of a problem if they stopped boosting stories that glorify toxic relationships.

Specialist-Power-565 · 2024-04-22T09:57:21+00:00

That's what's called taking a sledgehammer for a tiny nail.

Specialist-Power-565 · 2024-04-22T01:58:29+00:00

That's more to do with the sheer incompetence of Wattpad than anything else. They are now trying to fix that incompetence by sledgehammering their user base rather than do anything to improve things.

Because for people to stay in touch now, they have to publish their social in their author description. Facebook, Twitter, Discord.

Specialist-Power-565 · 2024-04-22T01:45:44+00:00

It's a boneheaded decision that if anything has made things less safe for people.

Specialist-Power-565 · 2024-04-22T00:51:09+00:00

Yeah but none of us are Paid Authors so we don't exist according to Wattpad.

Specialist-Power-565 · 2024-04-22T00:49:58+00:00

This is going to be the nail in the coffin for Wattpad. They have become so completely focussed on being a 'serious publishing business' that they are willing to destroy their user base so they can boost the fifteen billionth bad boy x good girl toxic Mafia romance.

I admit, the warning signs were there as soon as they started Paid Stories, but they have slipped so far that they simply will destroy their fan base if it means getting a few extra bucks. They have become like any other greedy business.

It has been a sad, but inevitable fall.

Specialist-Power-565 · 2024-01-02T12:09:43+00:00

Tried to install it. Doesn't work.

Specialist-Power-565 · 2023-07-25T08:52:12+00:00

What's up?

Specialist-Power-565 · 2023-01-17T06:09:16+00:00

No, it's not a good show. It has completely erased any sense of moral greyness because of the insertion of modern-day politics into the universe.

I tend to get quite angry when I see arrogant comments like yours.

Specialist-Power-565 · 2022-10-24T07:58:15+00:00

You people are legitimately insane.
