RE: GRAMMAR NAZI CONCERNS
And then of course we have the difference between grammar and usage–an important but rarely made distinction in the modern teaching of English. KEK.

Daily Beast: "How Money Flows From Amazon to Racist Troll Haven 8chan"

WHOA!!! CALL FOR A DIGG, ANONS!
The man who owns a site that spews racism and violence also sells books. And he’s very dependent on Amazon to help him with those sales.

You may or may not know about the 8chan website—but you are most likely familiar with its work. The rudimentary message board is a wellspring of racism, violence, and criminal activity online and in the physical world.
Most famously, 8chan hosted a manifesto from the Christchurch shooter, who killed 50 people at mosques in New Zealand. After the massacre, 8chan users flooded the website with posts praising the mass murder. Before killing 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the shooter posted threatening messages on 8chan.
8chan differs from other hate sites in that it has a relatively stable presence online. The white supremacist site The Daily Stormer, by contrast, struggles to find domain hosts and raise funds to pay for bandwidth.
What’s 8chan's secret? It can all be traced back to its owner, Jim Watkins and his company NT Technologies. Watkins has created a mostly self-contained system where he hosts the 8chan domain without the help of third parties. And it’s allowed 8chan to remain on solid footing while its contemporaries struggle. While Watkins couldn’t stop Google from delisting 8chan from its search results, people who wanted to find it still knew where to go.
But Watkins still needs an outside source of cash to pay for the servers, bandwidth, and staff that keep 8chan running. A significant source of the site’s funding is Amazon.

RE Daily Beast article: "How Money Flows from Amazon to Racist Troll Haven 8chan"
''This article is ''HIGHLY DECEPTIVE–a complete disgrace to any reputable journalist or publication. But then, it's the DB; what can you expect??
All the article tells us that 8chan's ownder, Jim Watkins, uses Amazon to market audio book business. There is nothing illegal or immoral about that. Daily Beast translates that into '"Amazon funds 8chan."'
Looks like Daily Beast is trying to put pressure on Amazon to stop selling Watkins' products, because he uses the proceeds to support 8chan–which DB says is "a wellspring of racism, violence, and criminal activity online and in the physical world."
Real story? The Daily Beast is a wellspring of hatred, disinformation, and ongoing fake news online and in the physical world.
dailybeast belongs to WHOM ??
and who works for them?
and how do they pay for their own salaries?
Daily Beast deserves one BIG DIGG
also article author Judd Legum
got sauce, anon? I'll make a bun.
'''The Daily Beast is a news website founded in 2008 by former Vanity Fair and New Yorker editor Tina Brown that primarily aggregates content from across the web. The site is owned by Barry Diller's Internet media company IAC/InteractiveCorp and has received most of its funding from the company.
