Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

Haha well I live in India so I get you T_TPhilippines, I call it trashcan cause there's trash everywhere and throwing waste anywhere have no real consequences
I'm from Poland - SN costs only $4 per kilo here, and that's just the beginning of our perks! x'D
I completely agree and I'm in the same boat as you haha.the culture here prides itself on being super extroverted, loud and outgoing - which I am the total opposite of lol.
I was born in the east-central of Canada, in the city, but moved to the mind-numbingly boring country, it sucks here and there's nothing to do. There's homeless drug addicts everywhere, which I'm not judging and I understand because it can happen to anyone and they clearly need help and financial support, but a lot of them leave their trash and drug needles everywhere and people have been getting assaulted, so you have to be wary walking around. My grandparents were born in Poland but moved to Canada, and I'm polish-ukrainian along with a mixture of german because of my father.I am curious where everyone is from on the forum.
I'm American. I was born in China but immigrated as a teenager.
how old are you?USA. Though I don't like being American (sure, I may be taking all my rights and freedoms as an American for granted, but it's so cultureless here imo and I hate living anyway so it's unfortunately hard to appreciate what I have).
Sometimes I wonder if my life would have changed for the better if my parents never immigrated from Korea. I doubt I'd be put together well enough or at all to be accepted as Korea is superficial af and Koreans care about status/appearance to extreme levels, but maybe I'd feel slightly less out of place because I wouldn't be "me." Maybe I would have grown up differently and taken care of myself more?
The general sentiment towards Korean Americans by Koreans is "wary/dislike/not (truly) one of us" and we all just fall under the "foreigner tag" which sorta sucks. Can't feel American but can't be accepted as Korean
I also find China (and Japan ofc) very interesting, with how much culture it has that can be woven into different arts/into their storytelling. It feels like they have more impactful things that their people can relate to/understand, whereas as Americans, we relate to others mostly based on our generation and the things we experienced with our cohort (like TV shows, books, music, etc.) rather than as an identity or through more specialized/cultural/historical interests. But then I also think to how wild Chinese SNS can be and wonder if the Chinese also think it's wild or if it's just normal life for them.
Just random thoughts.
