I googled ass-milking so you don't have to

You may have seen the term ass milking being bandied about on SN lately. If you are like me you may have some doubt's as to its meaning.

I love the way the internet creates new terms seemingly bout of thin air, and so, although, this particular term is somewhat offputting, I felt it was my duty to figure it out.

Also, I have noticed that it is sometimes used a lot like the words terrorist, communist, and nazi -- an argument-ending appeal to pure evil.

Anyhow, I thought that surely SN is not the only place this term is being used and that there would be some consensus about its meaning in a social media context.

Boy, was I wrong.

the following is a description of sex acts and if you'd rather not read it, skip to the next paragraph.

The term seems to have currency primarily as a descriptor of male-on-male sex acts, either referring to stimulating the prostate from the inside to encourage ejaculation, or referring to semen dripping out of one's ass after anal intercourse.

Now: what is the metaphor that users of this term on SN are trying to evoke? Is it that the ass milkers on SN are egging each other on to a state of pleasure somehow? A state which seems to imply that it is self-serving or at least not a real contribution to SN? Or perhaps it is simply trying to appeal to gay sex involves subserviance and that ass milkers on SN are simping for each other?

The term often gets used on SN to imply that a user is cheating the system somehow or just encouraging crappy posts and comments. But I'm not sure I can connect any of that with my google search results.

Therefore, I have decided to come up with my own explanation for what ass milking means:

ass milker noun / aes milker / a user of an online forum who encourages shitposters to produce more shit (through explicit agreements of mutual benefit or simply because they like shit).

I would be very happy for the connoisseurs of the word to correct me if I've gotten it wrong.

Alright! I'm glad you found the meaning of it funny and serious at the same time. But SN should learn to differentiate between abuse and fun.

How was this comment funny?
Did I Post #795246 some shit?
If that was shit? why other people posting only links or funny things here isn't shit?
Were the two stackers who zapped this post ass-milkers? How am I supposed to know?

I'm sorry to say but this isn't free speech? This is the encroachment of it.

I think Darth was riffing on Jihan Wu's infamous tweet:

I won't make any call on what you posted. The sats tell the truth. It looks like your post got 241 sats. Is 241 sats shit?

For me, I care about how many sats I garner. Also the discussion is good. If there are people who say things I don't want to engage with, I just don't engage.

I enjoy SN because the moderation is achieved via a market with sats. It is far and away better than any other moderation mechanism.

The sats tell the truth. It looks like your post got 241 sats. Is 241 sats shit?

Do not judge a post about how many sats got. That's misleading and can be easily manipulated, even that you can see how many stackers zapped that post.

I repeat: to have a better view and ranking, zaps/sats must be separated by the upvotes. Upvotes must have a high cost of sats also, in order to not be manipulated.

Assmilkers are creating multiple sockpuppets accounts and zap each others creating a false idea that a post was "upvoted" with more sats.

Don't let them fool your view... a post with 10k sats from just 2-3 stackers is not the same as a post with 1000k sats from 20 stackers.

If there was a way for the zaps on a post to go to the SN community as a whole, wouldn't that solve the problem you are describing?

Obviously, this is what SN rewards are. Perhaps the Sybil fee is too low (maybe it should be 50% rather than 30%), but the point is that people who try to inflate their standing by sock-puppet zapping end up paying the SN community for the space they take up.

In your example of a 10k sat post from 2-3 users versus a 1k sat post from 20 users, the 10k sat post paid 3k to SN. Sure, it's not a huge sum, but it adds up. If they are only zapping themselves, they are gonna spend a lot doing it.

If you think rewards are broken, that's one thing. But if you want to turn content moderation into only upvotes, let's all just go to reddit and post lightning addresses in our bios for when people want to zap us.

I much prefer that money plays a role in content moderation rather than faceless god-mode moderators.

This is SN pool rewards feeding the assmilking monkeys...

Many will feel hurt by these images, but this is the truth.

Yes and is simple: make them pay, not to milk...

I will gladly pay a fee to SN, but only to SN, for each post. But I do not want to finance assmilkers. Assmilkers are exactly like people that "work" for a gov or are getting subsidies from a gov... aka paid by hard working class. And they never want to go to do something useful, they just suck over and over from the subsidies, even that is not too much. PARASITES.

But as usual those that point out what is wrong with society (aka SN) are viewed as the "enemies of the society" that only want to destroy SN... ofc they feel threaten because they cannot suck anymore from other's work.

yes that is the original phrase.

I'm listening and I get your point about moderation on SN. But this is different. He said a lot of other things to me. It was just one off. He's doing this a lot often and certainly running this like a vendetta against me and a few others. What have we done except standing against his bullying new Stackers?

I made it clear here why this (even if it's a joke) unacceptable to me. #795270

I don't want and I can't accept the same for him as well. This is totally against my understanding of morality.

Also, who's he to molest new people who aren't as intelligent as he's on SN?

I mostly post links on SN, not from starting, but I listened @k00b say SN is like a news aggregator and there are many others who post links on SN. Are they all assmilking, as he call it? If that's so, why don't he comment bad things on everyone's link posts?

fyi I've got the sats on the post much much later he posted the comment, and after I made my stand with the link to his comment. This is also not the first instance. Here are others which tells about his sinful mentality against me

Sorry, these are so many but certainly the one that I put as screenshot above is unacceptable to me.

And you know what I respected him and was defending him against someone just one day before he started his vandetta against me.

Who would have thought it was used elsewhere. Thank you for putting in the work to clarify.

Yeah, it never occurred to me that it was used elsewhere. I certainly hadn't encountered it.

Scoresby's doing the dirty work, so we don't have to.

I probably could have been more exhaustive (just the first page of google results)

That's probably enough when looking up such a expression. Could get dangerous.

To add on to your esteemed discussion, I am amused by how shitposting is grudgingly accepted and tacitly approved, but assmilking is portrayed to be something so heinous!

This is informative. Thanks for doing the research for me :D

ass milker noun / aes milker / a user of an online forum who encourages shitposters to produce more shit

Nice! I'm not one for urban dictionary lookups. I just tend to enjoy the pause it adds to my day when I hear some online slur. I like how some of these North American terms? follow similar lexical/grammatical patterns, e.g

ass milker mouth breather shit poster
