Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Pls show me where I can get some of this sponsorship money. I'm not usually one to hate train, but this fellow makes it easy, so I'll take my easy money.
Sure. What's another landfill on the internet.
Step 1: Make your own "social" website.
Step 2: Prevent bots from signing in. (You really don't want to miss this step, otherwise you're free real estate.)
Step 3: Write your own bots that will scrape other "social" websites for content. This is to attract people before original content begins to form.
Step 4: Sell post priority and upvotes. And there you have it. Your own money generating cesspool of gradual deterioration.
That's it. And yes.. Easier said than done. Step 2 is really the hardest one. Perhaps make it obligatory to sign in with a phone number or something, cause capchas are a whole battlefield in itself. I don't really know how hard / easy it is to get a bunch of phone numbers to use for this purpose...
I need some extra information on step 4. I'm kind of needy of others' perceived opinion on me and convinced that 'number go up' will convince people of the quality of my ideas.
As such I want to inflate my imaginary numbers, with as little effort as possible. So doing steps one through three is too much hassle.
Where could I aquire me a bunch of upclicks to fill my empty husk of a soul?
You can only do this to sites that skipped or didn't take seriously enough step 2. Depending on how good the sites filtering requests is, this can range from 100$ linux server running python scripts for account creation. 100 accounts = 100 upvotes. All the way to very sophisticated proxy networking, capcha cracking, in some cases even AI driven internet monopoly demon that isn't too cheap, so it better be making everyone else miserable enough to make you not think about doing a ninja flip from a 4 story building into a wood chipping machine for a couple of minutes.
Comprehensive reading isn't really your strong suit, is it?
What made you come to that conclusion?
