no check mark but many celebs used reddit until the huge nsfw celeb leak, a lot left or dont advertise.

We still got arnold (terminator/politican), rick astley, and we got ton of influencers, but its mostly one off AmA's. Hell even trump was here during the donald saga.

I look at it like this, while Blink 182 and Tayler Swift sat on their hands telling fans they were just as upset as they were with the pricing fiasco, ultimately they did nothing to fix it.

And while I agree the current media climate is why Ticuntmaster made this move, if Robert Smith could step up and get fans some kind of recompense Blink 182 and Tayler Swift could've absolutely used the same public outrage to call bullshit, put their foot down, and at the very least slightly improve things for their fans.

Smith absolutely deserves the pat on the back he's getting. Even if he doesn't change shit permanently.

Reading the linked article below, it appears the bomber was a ball of flames before impacting the ground. At the time only one body of the three were found. Sgt Crowther was recovered at the time but nothing was ever found of his two American colleagues, apart from an identity bracelet belonging to Montgomery. The other two crew members we were considered missing in action “MIA”.

Just a absolute guess, the intense fire and impact destroyed most of any remains.

It wasn’t until a local aviation archaeology group attempted to excavate the crash site in 1974 after historian Andy Saunders located the most likely area of the crash.

However, it wasn’t until 2019 the site was throughly checked for the remains of Lt Montgomery and Sgt John Holoka.

After multiple excavations, finally the remains of Lt. Montgomery were found. It took years to confirm his identity. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/mystery-of-lost-ww2-pilot-solved-after-remains-identified-79-years-after-crash/amp

Nah that specifically is bc Meta would rather hire people to not let competitors like Google have them, then those people had very little to no work to actually do (literally would have to “fight for work” At Meta) . Not surprising they had to let them go in the wake of the economy
