MODERATORS
I've been following Naomi for several years, and I'm convinced that she's the kind of functional genius that the world needs more of. I really don't understand why she hasn't had better reception and support from the US maker community and tech press. I think the way she's been treated is a combination of envy, sexism and racism/jingoism.
I think the 3D printing community should be more aware of her situation, so I've cross-posted this to !3dprinting@lemmy.ml and !3DPrinting@lemmy.world
She's hot, hyperfeminine, and has spicy political opinions.
The algorithm seemed to have turned against her a few years back.
Actually there was an incident a few years back where she was demonetized and nearly lost her Channel on YouTube. Only coming back after a large outcry from the youtube/maker community. I don't remember the exact details. But I do remember it happening.
