Koavf tends to be very arrogant

Post by ylevental » Sat May 28, 2022 3:07 pm

I wrote that if he returns to Wikipedia, he should clean up his userpage because there is a lot of promotional content that is not allowed. This should be obvious even to beginner users. However, he stubbornly refused https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk ... _with_this...

A few years ago, he insisted to directly edit an article as a paid editor, making extremely biased edits, and was banned from editing the article. He even said "I have every right to edit this page, including things like adding sourced information". That is just crazy! https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ol ... aid_editor

Jumping Jellybeans Batman Koavf is not arrongant,
Koavf is bat shit crazy, mentally Ill Loser in Diapers with a Capital L
Now I know who the 40 year old virgin was based on.

Before getting banned
The guy listed his phone number on his talk page

Phone +1 317-660‒1236
E-mail justinkoavf@gmail.com

Not crazy enough for you; 1,000,000-2,000,000 edits! WTF and a spank you very much from Jimmy Wales

Professional Wikipedia editor!
Notice the wiki-pussies are too afraid to update Knapp's Wikipedia page to reflect the fact he is banned.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Knapp

But they mention his banning here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... _Knapp_Day

and WS noticed his banning and the fact that both Knapp and Wikipedia don't want to mention his "walk of shame"

https://www.wikipediasucks.co/forum/vie ... f=5&t=1864

Justin has been Wikipedia's top editor or near the top, for more than 12 years. He has an article (which still fails to mention he's been permab&). Hammering him was a big deal. Remember, he was being interviewed by journalists for many years since he was the "top wikipedian", and journalists use Wikipedia to check facts, so he was "therefore really important". Despite being a known asshole. Justin was fighting with Sdkb, a very recent graduate of the School of Wiki Autists, who only started to seriously grind WP last year.

Beyond getting banned, this article said it all; -

Seven Years, One Million Edits,+++ Zero Dollars: Wikipedia's Flat Broke Superstar
https://gizmodo.com/seven-years-one-mil ... ia-5903743

So basically he is the ghost of Molly White, past, in reverse drag. Both mentally ill Wiki-moron superstars one only slightly more mainstreamed and functional than the other.

Jimbo actually did write that. His "encyclothing" was built by people like Justin, he knows it, and he tries to cater to them (but only up to a point, and only to keep them grinding content and patrolling and fighting each other). Traffic is everything and content is merely the bait.

And when a fanatical editor's crazy gets too much to handle, ban him.....but let his sock accounts continue grinding.

Have YOU EVER seen anyone from Wikiland apologize to Knapp for his recent treatment? I have not. They never do. Pushing him out is yet another proof the deletionist patrollers run Wikipedia now.

BTW, if you ever want a handy list of media articles spluttering about the "magic" of Wikipedia and repeating the religious cant, the list on Justin's userpage is good. In fact there are so many I've lost count. Media reports about Wikipedia PROBLEMS, now those are truly rare.....

Ylevental: DO NOT try to lecture him about how his userpage should look. He will not take advice.

Traffic is everything and content is merely the bait.

The content is totally irrelevant; the goal is traffic traffic traffic
--The site is content agnostic - there is no quality imperative - the only issue is bulk quantity of data as to generate traffic
--the simple format of text data lends itself to analysis, has a very low cost to host-process, and is no cost to grow-append
--the size of the data creates a moat

There is quite a bit of valuable and traceable metadata being compiled for profit or insight into people
--more is going on under the hood than we are privy to (mining, analytics)
--Google is a big part of the story - its the processing and monetization part of the story
--that is why there was a lawsuit against the NSA
--The metadata is very valuable to private businesses; data about data

The irrelevant Editors and administrators (like Koavf) are useful idiot-tools generating searchable text, metadata, and therefore traffic
--these morons eat each other for lunch - its an ouroboros
--the participatory aspect of the site vests people into the "con, confidence-game"
--What does Koavf have to show for millions of edits?, not a dime, he was rejected, now his socks are spinning and woolgathering
--The site attracts the mentally ill like "moths to the flame" -- it is a "red forest" (aka Chernobyl radioactive) for participants
----Like Koavf, Molly White will eventually be eaten; I am sure the WMF "loves her" for denting an income stream
--The individuals involved in editing the site are totally irrelevant
--the structure prevents folks from obtaining an overview in parallax - look here not here - look at an encyclopedia not its overview, look at a participatory accomplishment for mankind not at the nefarious truth of the matter.


And then the "foundation" elevates;
---it distances the founder from his (and the websites) roots in porn
--------the roots of the tree are poisoned therefore the tree is poison; and I think that is true with WMF and Wikipedia
--------the founder could not make money in porn, and his wiki idea was failing, he structured into a non-profit (con)
---it provides exculpation - responsibility taking for the quality or even legality of the data
---it distances itself from its use of free labor, folks editing think they are doing something laudable - not the case at all
---it memorializes and institutionalizes an egregious, immoral, and dangerous platform
---it is the big part of the cost equation (going around the rules-law)

Since I now know where to look (thanks to WS); I see more and more nonsense, with a very small number of people (perhaps less than 100) (many mentally ill or autistic) going full bore to "defend" and to a lesser extent expand the indefensible. There are about the same number, or lesser number, of people and institutions that are profiting from this abomination.

The front end of Wikipedia (what people see and edit) is just a diversion; A small number of people directly profit from Wikipedia (look at the salaries of WMF) and most importantly some major institutions (Google, NSA etc); that profit center has its basis in traffic generation and metadata.
