My definition of Alt-Media:

Media that is not tied to any other corporation.

^^

wouldn't that be considered independent media

not alt-media

infowars is a corporation and they do independent media.

I like that definition, but then again why discredit alt media?

Vox, Vice and shit are all owned by another company

Vice is owned by Gizmodo

you can be independent media and corp'd

No

So, corporate sellout media vs alt-media.

if infowars was owned by another corporate entity, then it would not be independent

it remains independent through its ownership

When you become tied to another corporation, you are no longer independent

^^

@Graylan | gray00 kind of, depending on the amount of investment and control the advertisers for that independent entity.

@Swedishmafia101 ok, explain why so many independent youtubers have S corp or LLC

because you have to file as a business in order to differentiate your taxes

@Graylan | gray00 pls briefly explain S corp and LLC

@Swedishmafia101 you do realize you can start S corp right now for 380usd

oh fuck.

i can't do that breifly

Im not American u fucking niggerword

LLC is just so that your liability is taken off of you as an individual

in case some shit happens

you don't get sued, your company does

@Swedishmafia101 that shit dont matter at all.

Take "democracynow" for example. They claim to be funded by independent donors...

Although we're fully aware they cater to their biggest donors.

Btw

Being alt and being independent are two different things

it's all about taxes the CORP or sole proprietorship

i thought vice was owned by hbo

I always do LLC. Way easier than doing normal corporation

best way to do it imo

I'm gonna stand by my statements until I know more about LLC

Lol

It seems we all have different understandings or definition of what alt-media is. I think the first thought simple answer when someone that aren't aware of what it is at first thought, would assume that it's an alternative to mainstream news.
