    So they appeared in an ad, for a game jam happening in an event that they all take part in, and William literally created and operates at a loss? And the ad is for a non profit? How horrible!

    And yes, wills video with anthropic is weird, I skipped it.

      Open Sauce? Believe it or not, it also represents the interests of the rich. Guess why they are there.

      William literally created and operates at a loss

      Created what? What loss? :.|:;?

      the ad is for a non profit

      So? A NaNprofit it is, yes. With a few million in the bank. It is funded by corporations (previously also Elon Musk until someone on xitter convinced him it’s somehow related to tesla protests, separate story) to promote their products to literal kids who don’t know any better. And they are bad even at that.

        He created open sauce, and has been operating it at a loss.

        That said, this changes my views on hackclub. I really thought that they were a nornal non profit.

        I am not totally convinced that they are marionettes as you put it, but I can agree that they do get paid and therefore suck up to corpos tho. Altho I would say most youtubers do to get sponsored.

          Oh, he did? Sorry for missing that.

          Although if you go to the opensauce.com webshit (com stands for commercial btw) and scroll down a bit, you may find a whole entire page of company logos. I don’t see how this would result in any loss, I guess I am at a loss here.
