Split the Silencer

Paraguayans dragging politicians out of Congress as anger mounts in Paraguay.

Hypothetically speaking: Someone offers you $1 million but the catch is, a stranger must die a very gruesome and painful death, no one will ever know that you’re the reason for it. But at some point in your life, you’re going to receive a video tape showing this person being murdered and you have to watch the entire video. You have 10 seconds to decide, are you taking the money or not?

Silky puts Tae2Smooth on the spot over their past beef, demanding he take accountability for backstabbing him instead of hiding behind an apology video 😭 Tae: “You didn't watch my apology video?” Silky: “Why am I watching a video? I'm right here in front of you.”

Oprah Winfrey gave 276 people brand-new cars on live television. Some later discovered they could owe up to $7,000 in taxes just to keep their “free” gift. In September 2004, Oprah opened the 19th season of her show with an enormous surprise. Her producers had filled the audience with people who genuinely needed transportation. Each was about to receive a Pontiac G6 worth roughly $28,500. First, Oprah brought 11 people onto the stage and gave them cars. Then she handed gift boxes to everyone else, telling them that one box contained the keys to another vehicle. Every box had keys. The audience screamed, cried and hugged strangers as Oprah announced that everybody was getting a car. The entire giveaway was worth more than $7 million. But the cars hadn't come out of Oprah's pocket. Pontiac supplied them as part of a massive promotional campaign. And there was something the cameras hadn't explained. Under US tax rules, the cars counted as prize income. Pontiac covered sales taxes and certain local fees, but winners remained responsible for income taxes. Depending on their tax brackets, some faced bills approaching $7,000. They could pay the tax, sell the car to cover it, or decline the prize. One recipient described the situation as getting a car at a 75% discount rather than receiving one for free. The gift was still valuable. But some of the people chosen precisely because they needed financial help now had to find thousands of dollars they hadn't planned to spend. Two months later, Oprah held another giveaway. This time, the gifts came with checks intended to help recipients pay their taxes. Twenty-two years later, millions still remember Oprah shouting that everybody was getting a car. Far fewer remember the bills that arrived afterward.

This point in time we have to turn it around & start making money." "It's 30 seconds of ads. We invested alot of money into running Kick and ofcourse Kick has to make money eventually. Ads are the way it will be done." "We have been quoting Active chatters and using it as a metric if someone's viewcount is real. There are numbers that don't make sense. Having said that, theres a lot of people who lurk in livestreaming, the vast majority don't comment." "Why AB is streaming on Deen's ingest? Multiple ingests are being used and we don't like this. We are looking into this." "People in today's age , they want to see other people fail. On the back of that there's also a lot of people who want to see Kick win. It's unstoppable."
