Good morning/afternoon/evening.
This might get long so I hope you bare with me. Many years ago when GamerGate started, one of the people who supported and still supports the advocacy of the tag is Robin Ek, the owner and EIC of The Gaming Ground, a video game website and that a great alternative to the mainstream media.
Over the years, the clout chasers on Twitter and the subreddit, Kotaku in Action, have been screaming about supporting alternative websites through advertising them for free or even donating to them but turns out it's all boloney and they don't even put their money where their mouths are. Despite that, Robin kept going, operating the website even at huge losses.
We are all aware on what's going on Sweden and turns out, it's worse than the reports done in English-speaking media have splicing for us to consume. Taxes are raised every week to further weaken the resolve of the natives while funding the barbarians that the Marxist government let in, for the sake of "diversity" and "humanitarianism" have made Sweden into the most dangerous country to live in to date. Arson and explosions are happening daily like it's Baghdad or Mogadishu, elderly and young kids are raped, murdered and mugged in broad daylight as the Swedish government imposed laws to prohibit Swedes from crying foul against their hired mercenaries, putting them into jails for wrong think.
I'm making this post right on now on his behalf because the walls are closing in for him and his family. It's coming to the point that he may not afford to pay the basics or even food simple everything is being taxed heavily by the Swedish government and this same government are laughing in glee that native Swedes are being killed or imprisoned to make sure that the non-woke populous will be kept in check through fear. I want to help him so bad, but I can't. I've been finding ways to get him out of there but I don't know where to begin, how to start it or do I even have the means to do it. I'm just a guy from the Philippines who consider Robin as if he's my flesh and blood brother, and if anything happens to him and his family, it'll break my heart. I feel so helpless.
You can laugh now at my expense, just help Robin. It's not going to be about me, it's going to be about him and his family's sake. For me that's what is important right now.
It doesn't help that Google controls about 80% of the ad market share (likely more by now):https://www.searchenginejournal.com/googles-share-search-ad-market-projected-grow-80-2019/189993/
They have some pretty strict guidelines and almost every ad vendor out there relies on Google's services to distribute ads. So if Google bans your site from their ad network, every third-party vendor who still uses Google's services won't be able to supply ads to your site either at the risk of being blacklisted by Google.
It's a disgusting, monopolistic game that most people don't talk about. I think Zerohedge was in the news briefly about how Google threatened to blacklist them unless they started censoring their comments. The Left pulled the "Google's a private corporation" BS, even though at this point they are literally strong-arming websites into curating content they deem acceptable, or else.
And good luck trying to get funding elsewhere, because PayPal will drop the ban hammer on a dime if you publish content they consider wrongthink, and Patreon will do the same.
Some sites do use Bitcoin donations, but I tend to doubt that TheGG is pulling in enough visitors to sustain themselves via cryptocurrency.
