People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

I'll point you to Sam Reich, the quintessential liberal rich kid, who has been working overtime to platform dozens of shit kicker comedians and artists via Dropout.tv
I wouldn't say they don't know how. I'd say they try and most fail but a few don't. And we're all richer for the effort.
His dad’s one of the only mainstream democrats with consistently good takes (excluding previous support of Israel, but he’s at least stopped supporting them now), though. Not to take anything away from Sam Reich, but Robert Reich is literally a thought leader (worked in several presidential administrations including as secretary of labor under Clinton and was a professor for decades) in how to redistribute wealth. Sam could still have just been a shitty rich kid, and I’m glad he wasn’t (dropout is incredible), but he did have a much less awful example than most rich kids do.
The rich can afford to fail... multiple times.
I don't understand where the altruism lies in dropout.tv
Isn't it just another arts business startup?
Sam ran an episode of Game Changer that was barely more than "We trick LinkedIn into giving Jacob Wysocki $100k"
Also, plenty of legit good comedy from talented comics who struggle to get the time of day anywhere else. Idk if I'd call it "Altruistic", but it's a better use of Sam's time than anyone in Silicon Valley or Wall Street could have spent it.
