Topic: Kimmo shuts down his latest project, RN Pro
TTEH !FFSTTEHV7. started this discussion 10 years ago #55,862
RN Pro was Kimmo's latest... thing. It was based off Riktiga Nyheter ('Real News'), his still-running "service" that collates news from various right-wing, "anti-White Genocide" Swedish websites.
RN Pro simply scraped mainstream news sites' headlines and formatted them into neat, linkified tables. That's it. He tried to sell RN Pro to Swedish news agencies, even advertising for a telemarketer ("We are now looking for people who can telephonically sell RN Pro accounts wholesale, with very generous commission.") and other sales jobs. A subscription cost 365 SEK (£32, $42) a year.
Unfortunately it looks like nobody gave a shit — RN Pro was discontinued yesterday. ☹️

RN Pro forced to shut down the entire operation.
Because of the virtually total lack of interest from the Swedes to either test, use or in any way support the RN Pro we are now forced with sadness lay down service. It can no longer justify the continued operation of a handful of people, how much we have appreciated their support.
No new accounts will no longer be able to be registered. The service will be available for those who have the time left until the final account has expired, which will take place at midday August 4, 2017 . Then the site will be identified on the rny.nu (free service from the RN Pro born) until domain expires.
Existing users do not need to do anything; all active subscriptions have been deleted and no more draws some cards will be made.
This decision was not taken lightly. We did everything to provide and try to market a truly useful service professionals, and many improvements achieved since its inception, as well as a number of thoughtful features that never got to see the light of day. Only when it was clear that nothing would change, no matter what was done, was made the hard decision.
We deeply regret and am genuinely sorry that it would go like this after all the time and all the work that plowed into the project.

So it's like a Swedish alt-right Huffington Post? Why would you pay to use that?

Huh. From what you've quoted there, he comes across as quite professional and sane (the inherent nuttiness of collating far-right news aside).
While you were following this, did Kimmo exhibit any of the craziness or instability from the AT days? Also, he says "we" in his press release. Was somebody helping him with this? Maybe his brother? Jonni was a racist too, IIRC.

No way Kimmo wrote that. It's not his style, and there are a shit load of grammar errors, which Kimmo, to his credit, never made beyond the occasional typo.

It might've gone through Google translate, as the websites were in Swedish. That could have affected the tone and grammar.

I ran it through Google Translate, so naturally it's filled with grammatical errors. The original is, of course, in Swedish: https://rnpro.se/nyheter/acWw8i4U

He seems to behave a lot more reasonably, nowadays. I think he has learnt his lesson. No angry requests for donations. No blaming the users for his own failures. I made an account for the free RN Pro trial, and I could tell he was trying hard to portray a professional sort of image.
> Was somebody helping him with this? Maybe his brother? Jonni was a racist too, IIRC.
Possibly! He's always been a bit racist though. He created Riktiga Nyheter years ago, not too long after AT's death, IIRC.

The fact that I missed that and simply deduced it myself clearly shows my intelligence, then. Thanks!

I'm surprised. I mean, it wasn't just his behaviour on AT that was off-putting, he was also erratic towards organisations like tech support, 4chan and internet providers. So I got the impression that sort of stuff was his general personality.
But apparently, he's improved since the AT days. Huh.
> Possibly! He's always been a bit racist though.
Oh, I know. I've seen that Internet game he made that's about shooting immigrants trying to cross a border.
I just found it interesting that he was, supposedly, working with somebody. Again, because of my preconceptions about his unstable personality. I assumed Jonni would be a probable helper on this project if such a helper actually existed, though he could have recruited some other white supremacist, I suppose.
