RE: S66 new website launch

I doubt I'm in too small a minority, in having been inclined to be wary and weary of anything done or said by 66, for a long time.
However, especially since my experience of its customer service last year:
https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2603598 I've been wondering how it's managed to last so long!
Then came the still incomplete new website..
As I've discussed on Twitter, with my housemates, in a thread below a tweet by one of its biggest stars, sections of the website, such as videos and photos, are still empty, reaching tantric-like levels of forthcoming!
Suggesting the website is being setup by those who took a long time to fail to complete a computer system for the NHS!
I have recently argued that 66 is in "continuous scattershot crisis management": https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2663385 and I don't anticipate that changing any time soon.
The distinction between trolling and due criticism, is fraught more widely.
Especially given that social media is a major part of what passes for a public sphere these days, not least during the pandemic.
Albeit to some degree, it was ever thus, going back to the earliest public sphere, the ancient Greek agora, with Socrates being punished for asking challenging questions.
Although I might prefer Diogenes: https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/5735...t-cynicism whose name I used when I first started posting anything online, around ten years ago.
Many public figures or entities will seek to exercise what power they can, to suppress or evade criticism. Although today, outside of cliques and cults of cheerleading sycophants, and the "filter bubble", that's not guaranteed.
To some extent, the sharing of various recordings, whether ppv from individuals' fan pages, or streams from 66 etc, must drive some to the original sites, to spend £€$.
So the promotional byproduct, is possibly the best that can be expected.
However, if 66 don't put what ppv videos are available, in the place where people would expect them to be, they're not really helping themselves.
In the quoted post, I'd forgotten to say, that in that Twitter thread, I described the still incomplete website, as "new-mangled", wordplay on 'newfangled'!
In the "recently argued" post, referenced above, I said the "new website is the definition of "if it ain't broke..."", which I would apply especially to something as basic as the schedule, which I've overwhelmingly ignored since an initial glance!
The hourglass is half-emptying..
"From one who is not permitted to find fault, [says the peasant representative] praise also is valueless; in absence of expression it is like a Chinese picture in which shade is lacking. [CW, Vol. 1, P. 1801 Marx cites this spokesman from the lower classes because his emphasis on opposites is pure dialectics: extremes can paint a picture, whereas compromise can only paint in grey." https://www.militantesthetix.co.uk/critl...ewrite.htm

I should add (24/12/2023) that I am still more extensively shadowbanned than I've ever been, despite paying for a blue tick for several months, see my pinned thread, profile and header pics

29/10/2024: because of my being locked out of my original account, I'm using seducedx6_live on Twitter/'x', see the pinned thread there.
I'm using a friend's account, midriffique, a tweet from which is already linked above, with whom I did do three-way tag team tweeting, whilst he's taking a longterm break from social media.
