- plagiarist 3y agoThat was beautiful. You could also pay to troll. I recall one person posting a photoshopped picture of a woman who had two sets of eyes, "this picture gives me the creeps every time I see it, what are pictures that unsettle you?" Not much later their avatar had been changed to that exact photo, with text like, "I am so sorry."
- morkalork 3y agoThe extra smart thing was making users pay to undo it so it could go back and forth as long as users had money to spend and an axe to grind. Though making a source of revenue proportional to the level of drama may had some negative impact on toxicity. And yet still somehow less toxic than places like 4chan?
