I sympathize with the small time creators, but failure is always an option. The first linked tweet "I may not be able to do this full time any more, and that's terrifying." That, unfortunately, is life.

It's not even that huge a cultural difference. It is, after all, illegal here to scream "Fire" in a crowded building when there is no fire.

At risk of sounding like an Old Man of the Internet (Which I am)...something else ALWAYS arises. I understand these peoples' concerns, but I remember when independent artists flocked to the likes of DeviantArt and Livejournal. The catastrophic demise of a social media platform is devastating to...
