Can you please replace the Xitter link with an xcancel one? https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1940020187362717978
It's against dbzer0's rules to have Xitter links
edit: Thanks!
Every bit counts.
But it's difficult to attribute it to any one shoutout.
MoistCritical was the first who got serious traction, and he did his video because he saw Ross's update video.
The rocketing rate of new signature had a bit of lagtime after that. I've not seen any one shoutout exceed the numbers on Charlies video, so I think it's word-of-mouth achieving critical mass.
That makes sense, because friends telling friends is a process that takes a few days, so I think the average people who saw that video by Charlie are the real spark that're now growing into a fire by telling their friends. Who then tell their friends.
I think this time the initiative broke out of the anglosphere in a way it never did at the start, as I've seen it discussed by finnish-speaking acquaintances, and even in the finnish media.
I know Charlie isn't the most well-liked on here, but I enjoy most of his videos, and tbh his first video on the topic was the first I had ever really heard about this specific initiative. After watching it, I watched Ross's video and subsequently shared it with several of my friends. Also, you have to give Charlie some additional credit for how much attention he gave to the topic over recent weeks. I think he's put out 3 separate videos at this point and even reached out directly to PirateSoftware.
I've not really seen anything abut Charlie that makes me dislike the guy.
Obviously he's achieved great success, and is financially well off. From what I can tell, he tries to do some good from that position, if with a somewhat naïve approach.
In what I've seen, he can be a little mean-spirited, but he does it with a jokey tone I forgive a lot more easily than the type of shit-talk you see from people like PirateSoftware.
Thor gets really ugly with words when the describes what he thinks of SKG.
Of course Elon Musk retweeted a Grummz post about it. Exposure is exposure though, and a signature is only a signature, so happy to see the movement getting positive traction anywhere it can.
