All these people telling Josh to open a business, hire an old lady, get another business to do it etc underestimate the situation. The people who hate the farms and Josh are not just crazy online trannies posting on Twitter, they are insane. They are well connected. They have access to legal avenues, financial means, and have the righteous wrath of the mob on their side, including the media. Anyone who does this will not just be doxed, their family could be doxed and harassed, their grandmother could be contacted and asked if she’s ok with her grandchild actively killing people online and posting child porn. Their personal online accounts will likely be reported and banned on every major service. If they or their family or close friends have businesses they could be destroyed. A business doing this risks their entire livelihood. There is a huge range of things they can do to fuck with a business beyond writing bad reviews. Pulling payment processors for ‘supporting terrorism’ is not unlikely.
Josh cannot easily own or run a business actively in the USA - he can’t even accept payments on this site through normal payment methods due to them all being barred to him.
Recently a troon phoned the wives of every senior executive of an ISP at 6am to get them to drop Kiwifarms from their services. They threaten families and associates of anyone they target and they are fully shielded from consequences.
Its pretty obvious that the current agent got contacted with enough threats to make an excuse to step down as soon as they had an excuse.
