I am extremely intelligent, as it happens.   I did explain that MeWe make money from optional extras - there's also a business account but I was focussing on personal accounts as an alternative to Fakebook.  I did mention that they don't spy, as an example of their business practice, but if you were to make a little effort and read even their first page you would see that not sharing data is a major directive.  To make the effort for you I quote "Your private life is #Not4Sale. No Ads. No Spyware. No BS".  Now if you ascertain the facts before venturing further opinions you may avoid looking stupid.

What you think happens when MeWe runs out of the $10mil budget they have?

What you think happens when users don't pay all the monthly fees they have, like chat?

Where do you think the money to keep running will come from?

Data storage alone would get costly

People will either leave for better

Or company will find other method for revenue

I know money doesn't come from thin air

Same applies to other social media sites too

Eventually the free ride comes at a cost

If you not paying it, who is?

FB started out the very same way, btw

Took them a long time to start backhanded data sharing

[Does Facebook want our avatar?]

Pretty sure whole thread was started as ad for OP and OP's biz 

Revenue is whole purpose for all social media

From their POV, not users

If people think other social media sites don't sell or use info, they're not smart.

All of them need to make revenue some way, specially when they have free accounts

Saying they don't spy is not the same as not sharing your info

Or ways for your info to be shared automatically

Ad revenue works well, but still needs some user info to work right

My point was that people are no longer passionate about building and creating in SL .

Do you know everyone?

No?

Then you can't be right.

Tons of people still passionate about creating

Maybe you're not

Some people aren't anymore, it's ok

But you're not everyone either

I love building and creating

I do it all for fun and let others enjoy things, too

Huh??   Never but the sim is usually promoting a business, shops or club where someone is being tipped for paid.

Im referring to cultural sims,combat sims, etc .  Of course these sims still exist but some of the best have left SL .

Some great ones have left

Always been the case

Since day one

Nothing can stop that from happening

Lots more great places been built too though

All free, not advertising, not businesses or clubs

Maybe you need to get out more 

To see them

YES SL is dying !  People used to build sims just to provide an  "experience" or to create a community for FREE . 

People still do

Lots of them

When's last time you paid cover charge to enter a sim?

Also, not what you asked

You asked if keeping your bits under your skirt should've been good enough

It wasn't

Because it didn't follow a rule

No mater how stupid

Your bits weren't hidden

They were under a short skirt

On display

You complied when asked

All good

One, I did exactly what was asked of me.

Didn't say you didn't

Two, this is an Internet forum, a place to discuss things, and "What do you all think of this rule?" Is a perfectly legitimate question. 

Didn't say it wasn't

I said what others think doesn't matter

That's true

In end, the rules land owners and ll make matter

But that's it

Even if some rules are stupid

Lots probably are

 

 

[Hidden private parts in G rated land]

If have to be asked more than twice

To put clothes on

Or take bits off

Or get booted because you don't

You're doing something wrong

Common sense isn't very common

[Hidden private parts in G rated land]

Their land, their rules

Doesn't matter what anyone else says

Even if wording wasn't great

Doesn't matter

LL also says

Their land, their rules

Don't know why people pander to certain posters with kid gloves

Usual answer is

Their land, their rules

 

[Model's Workshop is looking for staff!]

That's a hell of a lot of work and rl hours for no pay. 

You make money off people working for you, why would you not pay them? 

That's pretty damn rude, def. not ethical. 

No wonder ppl keep saying all the jobs they find are *****ty when I point them here.
