It's college athletes taking the wheel
Who want to earn a financial deal
No longer need they be quite as meek
For now they can capitalize on their peak
Sponsorships that go with their fame
Bring both fortune and a certain amount of shame

@ChrisMayLA6 Couldn’t agree more. “Follow the money” also works as a very simple and effective methodology for understanding what corporations and other organisations actually do versus what they say they do.

@larthallor @joshsternberg @georgewherbert I don’t know if that’s feasible because #adblockers are very “in” for the open-source consumer community. Even the perception that ads COULD be blocked will affect ad sales.

If the #fediverse ever gets big, then #content creators will have to rely on viewer donations and merch, as well as #commercial #sponsorships. #Automated ad-serving and click-tracking will basically have to be scrapped completely.

Sports #athletes lead as #influencers.

As #sponsorships and endorsements bounce back, stars and agents need to understand the heavy responsibility they carry as platforms.

Bad #deals will happen in #sportsbiz from time to time, but the negative impact to fans will remain.

The #OutcastCreatorCollective new #Discord server is NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!

Our discord server is a place for #contentcreator / #influencer / #livestream / #artist / #writer / and many other types of #creators (and their fans/supporters!) to share tips and resources, commiserate and complain (in our #rant room 🙂​), find others to #collaborate with, and to #selfpromote your content (as long as that's not the ONLY involvement you have with our community!)

The #outcast part of our name is because our community is focused especially on supporting so-called #outcastcreators, those who don't abide by societal rules set by #ThePatriarchy / #Capitalism / #Sponsorships / #AdFriendly / #monetization and are therefore #ostracized -- #banned , #blocked, #shadowbanned , or otherwise #censored / face #censorship to a degree that most creators never face!

Folks like #sexworker / #erotic / #adultentertainer , #intersectionalfeminism (not the ad-friendly "girl power" kind), #normalizenudity ,
#progressive / #leftist ,#sexualeducation , #kink and #fetish education, #LGBTQ + / #queer , #disability , #houseless , #racialequality , #mentalhealth and many other types of #activism , and so on.

(Worry not--any nudity or erotic/adult content is limited to our 18+ rooms, which require age verification to access. You won't accidentally stumble onto anything that's likely to get you embarrassed on the bus!)

Please note you don't HAVE to be an "outcast creator" to join us, you just have to be respectful towards those who are, and expect to cross paths with them in our community.

Also please note that we are NOT a place that is welcoming to white nationalists, conspiracy theorists, TERFs, "debate bros" or otherwise toxic people who usually use the excuse of "free speech" to be hateful towards others. Respectful language is strictly enforced- no insults, no matter how subtle you think you're being, will be tolerated. Our community is, above all else, dedicated to being a #wholesome (if ad-unfriendly) space that is here to support creators and their followers, NOT provide yet another platform for hate.

We're a new server, but staffed with volunteers who have experience with a variety of content creation, and we're very open to feedback to however we can improve our community!

If any/all of that sounds interesting to you and you'd like an invite, you can reply or DM me here, or PM me on Discord at #Ceridwen6967 .

I hope to see you there!
