Have you been blocked on Twitter by anyone remotely famous?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Speaking of Twitter, I just got into a major Twitter war with some Rubio staffers. They kept dismissing me as "lowly intern", "kid", "son", etc. But I fired back with one tweet that I think is really good.

Me: @randomRubiostaffer Ok. Enjoy losing the election to a racist, loudmouthed reality star. I'm sure that'll look great on your resume come 2020.

People can have...full-time vine careers?

Is this an industry?

Do they have agents?

Do they have awards banquets?

I'm not sure how to react to this.

While I don't know how successful the younger Paul has been, his older brother, who graduated from my high school two years ahead of me -- also a full-time professional Viner, I cannot stress this point enough -- is reported to be a millionaire: http://www.the-net-worth.com/2015/08/logan-paul/

So, while I cannot tell you how the industry works, I can assure you that it is real.

I got blocked by Derek Savage, the man who directed and produced the Cool Cats movie series because I said his movie sucked.

He likely figured you to be a troll and didn't want you to continue.

Isn't this basically asking 'are you a psycho or creepy stalker'?

(and the answer is no)

This guy doesn't take criticism at all, if you say anything remotely negative about his films, he threatens legal action against you and issues copyright claims on youtube of negative reviews, he then flips his s[inks] over these reviews and makes passive-aggressive threats to others.

There are some famous people who are really block-happy and use it as a way to not have to listen to reasonable criticism. I don't have a Twitter, but Richard Dawkins is one of these people and he's blocked a couple of my friends.

I'm guessing you don't know who Derek Savage is.

Holy crap.

I'm generally behind the free-market, but...the invisible hand does some weird stuff sometimes.

Twitter is stupid and I don't use it

Many many many people's only job is making content for their YouTube channel.  It's one of the many great things about the internet.  If you can create content good enough to get a few hundred thousand people to watch your sh**t for 10-20 minutes a day you deserve to get paid and it's awesome that Google/YouTube facilitates that.  I'd like to get in on that action but I'm untalented.

Discovered today that I have been blocked by Tomi Lahren, who is this blonde 23 year old bimbo who was given a tv show on The Blaze just because she is hot and cheap and slings around red meat criticizing black people. She also goes on Twitter rants moaning about the people who criticize her. I called her something along the lines of a millennial biggot. I'm happy to have gotten under her skin to have her take the time to block me.

Tomi's a good gal though

[100% pro-life no matter what]

No, but a friend of mine was blocked by DWS for trolling on her page with conservative comments and by Jerry Falwell for getting mad at his Trump endorsement.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Mike Murphy.

[Blair]

I've heckled a Tory parliamentary candidate; and had a chance to shout at Nick Clegg when I saw him walking around during the budget in '14, but beyond that no.

Also, not that it matters/or is interesting but Youtubers make a phenomenal amount of money ( I read the most popular get six figures in advertising alone) let alone the amount of crap they sell

I don't want to turn this in to a big debate about her, so I'll just say this: I didn't want to hate her when I first saw her. But in addition to her occasional attacks on the black community, she is just an unqualified girl who was only given a tv show because she was hot and because she would be a very cheap hire coming right out of college. That's not her fault, I blame OAN and Blaze for giving basically just another college student her own tv show without having to put in any tough time coming up through the industry. I also believe she is so full of herself and condescending towards those with opposing viewpoints. Maybe she will get better with time, and I will give her that chance. But right now I can't stand even watching 5 minutes of her. But I guess to each his own.

She's the definition of a c-u-next-tuesday. Awful. A major embarrassment to respectable conservatives like ourselves.

I just made a Twitter, so maybe I should troll trump and Comrade Sanders until I get blocked.

They get a million tweets a minute. Good luck with that. Go after someone easy like an @AG_Conservative.

Good point.

But who is AG_Conservative? I don't want to go after someone random. That's mean.

Go after a Lt. Governor or something. Somebody people don't go after.

[Figueira]

Well, I blocked myself by not getting a Twitter account in the first place, but I don't think I qualify as "famous."

[beaver2.0]

No.
