The what's going on in Thrash thread

Ahh I didn't click on the link (we used to have a magazine in this country called Hot Metal). It's a patreon link, a link made purely to make money. Pateron is as bad as these bands who just ask you to send money because they are in quarantine. My bet is the full article has zero substance and is just made up of bits and pieces glued together to make a story. The author is trying to make money with clickbait headlines. Both Blabber and MI are reporting almost the same story, with almost the same leads. I wouldn't be surprised if the author of the patreon is one of the writers of Blabber or MI and they are trying to make a side gig for themselves. No real journo is going to patreon his stories, at least not his true and well researched stories.

Patreon is a weird idea. Bloggers get on Wordpress or whatever, write a story and hope people read it. The same people hear they can make $2 doing the same shit on patreon so they sign up and ask the same people to pay for the shit they've been reading for free. Programs like Wattpad etc at least have the odd success story where a publisher read someone's work offered them a deal but no publisher will pay for a patreon read. I'm surprised Blabber and MI paid for whatever is written on the site. That's part of what makes me think it's a connection of those sites that wrote it. And it's easy to make Chuck look like a douche blaming Will when you write the headlines and no one reads the full text.

I guess they figured the headline was worth it in clicks. I can't believe all the complete fucking retards who either didn't read it or have zero reading comprehension who are slamming Chuck. I wonder if stupidity is actually a virus? It sure spreads like one.

Blabber and MI are surely getting clicks, not sure if the original author is, but the good thing about that is that we'll never know!

Oh yeah it's times like these that stupidity really spreads quickly. Find the right audience and the silliest thing can gain traction. Anitvaxxers, flat earthers, you name it, if the audience is right the shit spreads like wildfire. But the weirdest thing is how quickly these things get spread by both sides of the argument.
