Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate.
In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate.
A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership.
"Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

i’ve reviewed MMO expansions, you can’t access em til launch day, raid series’ come out a week or two after launch. it’s normal. account for it or don’t, up to yall. just be fr.

an SEO-driven and first-to-publish world makes it a layered challenge for sure but that’s on us to figure out internally

After my ADHD diagnosis, I began to rethink how I play games Gaming can be a very seductive way to self-medicate, or at least self-soothe

I wrote about my #ADHD diagnosis (and mental health) and how it changed my relationship with gaming for the first time since I got diagnosed 4 years ago, for @mothership.blog

My main issue with Bluesky, other than the "so you hate waffles" posters, is that not enough news / update accounts moved over from Twitter, when that's what I used twitter for.

There can be 100 tweets on a topic on twitter, but the first person to post about it on bluesky could be hours later.

Heathcliff and a crowd of cats walk down the streets, all with DUDE-branded accessories. Some cats are wearing DUDE tee shirts, some wear DUDE helmets, and many of them hold DUDE signs and balloons. They're all cheering, excited about being dudes.
Two birds watch from a nearby tree, and one says "The bro rally was bigger."

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

One thing that needs mentioning is most of the "content" on these two sites are aggregated from 5channel threads, which includes a lot of the stuff you might expect from an anonymous message board. Who'd have guessed when you signed up at LiveDoor to recycle it, it may track back to you!
