Fuck these assholes tbh
Yeah, fuck anyone who has success and wants to talk about it. How dare they (or anyone)?

1.2 million Playstation subscribers in one day that should read…
1.2 million people downloaded the app on playstation. That doesn’t mean they were new subscribers.
It’s free on playstation anyway.
