>installing an apk is technically sophisticated
Most kids with smartphones probably know how to do it already

2018-09-13 02:52:42 UTC  

normal people go where their friends are or where they get what they want.

2018-09-13 02:52:58 UTC  

The same issue holds though. No one wants to be deluged by alt-right nonsense.

2018-09-13 02:53:21 UTC  

And you still are stuck with the big financial firms refusing to fund them and attacking anyone who does.

2018-09-13 02:53:29 UTC  

Minds isn't that alt right

2018-09-13 02:53:40 UTC  

I haven't seen any alt right people there

2018-09-13 02:53:47 UTC  

I have.

2018-09-13 02:54:03 UTC  

And you can actually have good conversation

2018-09-13 02:54:11 UTC  

But you still have the Voat issue eventually. And it's still empty.

2018-09-13 02:54:14 UTC  

I've seen more alt right people on twitter and I don't use twitter

2018-09-13 02:54:19 UTC  

Network effects are a bitch.

2018-09-13 02:54:20 UTC  

In more than 140 characters

2018-09-13 02:54:27 UTC  

Does anyone know if we've actually seen a proper established university collapse?

2018-09-13 02:54:40 UTC  

Not as far as im aware rye

2018-09-13 02:54:48 UTC  

Yes.

2018-09-13 02:54:53 UTC  

idk, but didn't tim just do a vid on evergreen...

2018-09-13 02:54:57 UTC  

I think it was 17 that closed last year.

2018-09-13 02:54:58 UTC  

I'm watching it.

2018-09-13 02:55:05 UTC  

wait what

2018-09-13 02:55:07 UTC  

I'm wondering what that looks like...

2018-09-13 02:55:08 UTC  

17 colleges out?

2018-09-13 02:55:17 UTC  

Yeah, the whole sector is in deep trouble.

2018-09-13 02:55:23 UTC  

see this whole 'get woke, go broke" tells me they are not controlling the norms

2018-09-13 02:55:24 UTC  

y'know...

2018-09-13 02:55:26 UTC  

It's mostly small colleges no one has heard of though.

2018-09-13 02:55:30 UTC  

I just had a laugh at that, pratel.

2018-09-13 02:55:30 UTC  

try as they might

2018-09-13 02:55:33 UTC  

Ironically, the more right-leaning ones.

2018-09-13 02:55:33 UTC  

I really shouldn't have.

2018-09-13 02:56:05 UTC  

The one affiliated with Bernie Sander's wife wnet bankrupt and closed. That was a minor controversy actually as there were some sketchy loans approved near the end of it all.

2018-09-13 02:56:07 UTC  

Yeah, I'm wondering about the colleges with sprawling campuses.

2018-09-13 02:56:10 UTC  

Ones with dormatories.

2018-09-13 02:56:18 UTC  

That would include the ones that were closed.

2018-09-13 02:56:40 UTC  

The big state schools aren't closing, they have too much grip on state politicians and too much money.

2018-09-13 02:56:59 UTC  

But the small privates in weird corners of the country? Collapsing at an alarming rate.

2018-09-13 02:57:14 UTC  

Harvard thinks there will be half as many Unis in 2030 as there are now.

2018-09-13 02:57:16 UTC  

I have to wonder how bad they can hurt before the politicians call it though...

2018-09-13 02:57:29 UTC  

Forever.

2018-09-13 02:57:37 UTC  

What do you think "free college for all" does?

2018-09-13 02:57:50 UTC  

destroys us.

2018-09-13 02:58:30 UTC  

devalues college to bascially being a high school diploma
