Proposal: Board for High-Profile Individuals

[Null]

The following threads do not fit the traditional definition of a lolcow or anything adjacent but are very active.

• Donald Trump
• Elon Musk
• Kanye West
• Azealia Banks
• Vivek Ramaswamy
• Ashley St. Claire
• Antonio Brown

Possibly also these.

• Glenn Greenwald
• Casey Anthony
• Other threads I'm vaguely aware of but can't find.

@CrunkLord420 believes a board specifically for "not really an internet retard" high-profile individuals may benefit the site. His shortlist for candidates are based off his interests in technology and business and are:

• Alex Karp
• Sam Altman
• David Sacks
• Larry Ellison

Discuss.

More content is more content.

I'm all for it!

I think a thread about the Nigerian president would be awesome also I boil burgers


But this actually isn't a bad idea, I'd say go for it

 

[gagabobo1997]

I have no strong feelings one way or the other

 

[Canoodler]

Sounds like a good idea.

 

[Layton Mysteries]

I think this is a pretty good idea, can't see any downsides and would help with the organization of the site.

How "high-profile" would a person have to be to have a thread on the board?

 

[Karakhalkin-Gol]

A board like this sounds like a good idea, but considering that most of these are political figures of some kind, there should be extra moderation and stricter rules, cause otherwise this would just become a clone of A&N.

 

[CrunkLord420]

My real picks were Alex Karp, Sam Altman, David Sacks, Larry Ellison, etc.

I also wanted a judges board but apparently that's a illegal or something????

 

[Prokhor Zakharov]

I would probably title it more "Retards, Just Not Our Usual Type Of Retards"

The main delineation would be that they are not an "internet person". like elon is very much an internet person but he's also a mega billionaire whose every shart on twitter causes the EU to freak the fuck out.

 

[Vibralldo]

I think this is a good idea

I recommend adding Matt Mullenweg the CEO of WordPress to the list

Thread 'Matt Mullenweg & Automattic/WordPress vs WP Engine'

Oct 6, 2024

A quick who's who.

Matt Mullenweg (www.ma.tt) is a co-founder of wordpress. As wordpress has gradually grown to be used by millions of websites around the world, and indeed being used for 43% of websites (archive), Matt has leveraged his position to create secondary business to grow and profit from the work gone into wordpress.

1. Wordpress.org. Matt owns and is the dictator of wordpress.org. Wordpress.org is free for anyone to to use but you need to find a host to use with it. Wordpress.org has the wordpress foundation, of which people are employed (by Automattic) and then...

@Null, would you say some political commentators with threads like Ben Shapiro fit this board better than the main lolcow board? This is a good idea though.

To be fair, what are people supposed to discuss on a political figure's page if not politics?

hard call. benji is probably still an internet retard but the DailyWire itself could probably elevate.

 

[alphabetnigger]

Call it something like.."Real life cows" "Political cows" idk. Sounds like a good idea though

 

[CrunkLord420]

How "high-profile" would a person have to be to have a thread on the board?

Anyone who would be defined as a "Politically Exposed Person" or a (Not Limited) "Public Figure". Executives for publicly traded companies under SEC regulation, public officials, etc.

 

[Lokenstien]

Internet Famous was one of the previous boards right?
A lot of these people would fit right into an “Actually Famous” board.
Seems worth it since Magi-Chans influence has grown well beyond digital realms.
