Facebook Is Launching A Patreon-like “Fan Subscription” Thing And It’s Got Red Flags All Over It

Facebook is launching a Patreon-like “Fan Subscription” thing and it’s got red flags all over it already.

One part of the terms is that they get a lifelong, transferable license for your content, which persists even if you stop using their service. They can transfer or sub-license it to third parties, and you can’t stop them, because you agree to that when you sign up.

Another is that once they start taking a cut, which they will once this launches officially, they can take up to 30%. For comparison, Patreon takes 5%. So you sign up, you post content, they raise the fee, you decide it’s no longer worth it and stop using it… and they get to keep using your content anyway.

You can read more about it here. But basically, the takeaway seems to be that this is another example of Facebook trying to make their own version of a good thing, and turn it into a worse thing, and sell it to you as the best thing ever. Don’t buy it. Please, please, do your research before you sign up for anything.

i love it

friendly reminder that in 2019 lgbtq solidarity is going to COEXIST, meaning:

20biteen does not take ‘take away’ 20dyketeen from the lesbians because nobody owns the year

20noneteen doesn’t ‘take away’ 20biteen and 20dyketeen from the bisexuals and lesbians

20mineteen belongs to everyone except those of us who can’t fuckin afford minecraft (communism failed us, folks)

and in 2019 bisexuals, aspecs, and lesbians are going to support and uplift each other and not worry about making people angry with harmless jokes because,

2019 is the year of understanding that lgbtq solidarity is better when there’s more of it for all of us

this has been a PSA

Dear teen girls,

Stop abusing your boyfriends and yes what you are doing is abuse.

Stop:

Yelling at him in front of his friends 

Hitting or slapping him when he does or says something you don’t like

Telling him he doesn’t have a choice when it comes to decisions that involve both of you 

Telling him he can’t hang out with friends because you don’t like him

Telling him to not talk to other girls even if they are his friend

Forcing him to spend every moment with you 

Belittling him and pointing out all his flaws

Calling him stupid or making fun of him for making a mistake

Threatening to break up with him if he doesn’t do what you want

Being emotionally manipulative and crying until he does what you want

Accusing him of cheating every time he’s not with you

Blow up is phone if he doesn’t text you every five minutes 

Telling him you are the must thing that has ever happened to him and no one else will love

Physically attacking him when ever you are mad

Forcing him to have sex despite that fact that he said he didn’t want to

Invading his privacy by going through his phone

Getting mad at him for changing his password and demanding he tell you what it is

If a guy did any of these things to a girl it would be considered abuse but since its the other way around its considered normal. Throughout High school I saw many girl treating their boyfriends like shit. Sometime even physically abusing them in the hallways and no one trying to stop it because its a girl attacking a boy. 

Boys: If your girlfriend does anything on this list leave her. It is abuse and you deserve better.

Girls: if you find your self doing anything on this list to your boyfriend you need to knock it off because you are being abusive.

Percy: I’d catch a grenade for you.

Annabeth: Aw that’s so sweet it means a lo-

Percy: But only if the pin was still in. If it wasn’t I’d tell you to run, because someone just threw a live grenade at you.

Annabeth: Well you might not be romantic, but at least you’re not dumb enough to catch a live grenade.

Dear friends of Tumblr,

Today at my school we had an assembly about internet predators and when I had said that most of my true friends are over the internet and they gave me a lecture about how “I don’t know who I’m talking to” blah blah. So please, if you aren’t a predator in any way, please reblog so i can prove a point.
