I don't think anyone really released any authoritative research, but back in the early days of Gamergate, when 8chan got ddosed by lizard squad and the database leaked, it was possible to see who spent money to ddos what via some moderately advanced sql queries. And there were a lot of anti-gamers dropping money to target 8chan. A lot of it was $5 to $10, but there were some big whales who dropped a lot. But they were pretty good at hiding themselves. The little ones weren't, but who cares about spending $5 to ddos a site? People want the big fish.

She's still cancer. The "any support is good support" mentality is why SJWs like pedos.

Meh, people are quick to forget that she wanted to create a merry doxxing platform. Imho this is less of her becoming redpilled, and more of her preparing her future Patreon account. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.

I'm confused. Here tweets are a little hard to follow. Is she complaining about GGers, or not? If she's "going full redpill" does that mean she switched sides, or is she getting mocked by redpillers?

She's not complaining about GGers and in fact she seems to be allying herself with them. She didn't switch sides either, she wasn't on a side to begin with. In fact she didn't know about GG until Harper brought it up. I listened to the interview she had with the RalphRetort guy and she basically said she never heard of Randi Harper or GG until this drama came up. She was doing her own thing, albeit a bit recklessly.
And what she said in the interview is true, this coverage really did give her more publicity. It was just a tiny kickstarter that wouldn't actually taken off and even if it did, it wouldn't be used by many. It could only be effectively be used for background checks since there was no other search function besides a name you were specifically using. You'd have better luck finding someone to dox by scouring the internet for someone who said nigger than randomly looking up names on the database. Though yeah, the database could obviously be abused, by trolls faking screenshots. As far as I could tell, nothing but good intentions, but poor decisions.
