The voice of an entity that tries to speak for other people without anybody requesting to have a voice. Someone there to deprive everyone else of their own voice, but says they want to give everyone a voice by being their voice.
The girl wanted to be the voice of a neighborhood she wasn't even from, which was highly inflammatory to people who really were from there. They didn't feel like they needed a media/corporate appointed voice that wasn't their own.

A imageboard buyout corporation is typically a super large organization like Google that buys a large enough share to basically exert near full control over a imageboard.
The imageboard itself would undergo changes like using the parent organization's CAPTCHA system. Sometimes the moderation on the imageboard will change, too. Thi
s reason is why bans on 4chan are more steady like bans on YouTube.
A lot of the time the actual owner will point to someone other than the IBC and say "He's the owner guy". Many users of the now bought-out imageboard would swiftly call B.S. But, they will put up with the IBC in exchange for a platform to spread their memes.
Ghee, Moot sure sold Google out to 4chan back in March 2016. Talk about a Imageboard Buyout Corporation (IBC).
Now that I think about it, New York Times would make a good Imageboard Buyout Corporation (IBC) for 8chan especially after the recent school shootings.

When an alternative rock band, once hitting it fairly big due with an original sound, sells out out to a more pop-y sound to sustain fame
Disturbed's old albums were amazing, but their new stuff has totally joined the 10,000 Fists Up Corporate Music's Ass

The most common, if not the only message you will see when linking to Microsoft's "solution pages" after using the error reportingfeature
Example: When my PC couldn't play music due to a "missing audio device error" I linked to this message screen.
So I went looking on message boards for similar issue and found one. The person posted about how Microsoft had nothing.
That forum entry was posted two YEARS before.
Me: Oh cool! I can just link to Microsoft's solution page! How convenient....
This problem was caused by Windows. This program was created by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation does not currently have a solution for the problem that you reported.
Me: You've got to be kidding. Oh Cool! Windows has a built-in help program....

Corporate communism, as defined by the Beatnik Bird, is when brain dead corporations own the means of communication, (the privatized Big Brother) and which are dedicated to promoting the anarchist idea that the best government is no government beyond the military and the police. Whatever government exists is a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporations kind of like Czarist Russia before the Marxist revolution in 1917 when everything was owned by royalty and its facilitator the church.
Corporate Communism is a blend of two of the most hated and abused terms in pop economics, corporatism, aka capitalism and communism, aka socialism. It was created by the Beatnik Bird as a descriptive term to grab the attention of those who have no factual knowledge of either but are convinced that either or both are evil.

Which brings me back to a point I made previously...
Hym "Corporate communism. The reason I hate capitalism. It allows corporations to enshrine themselves as mini communist dictatorships. And not like Marxist utopian communism but, like, North Korea communist dictatorship. Like... Once a month I have to go to a meeting (that essentially mirrors a church sermon) and affirm THEIR values (they say OUR but their is no US and WE don't have values and their values are antithetical to mine). At the end of year meeting they wanted me to THANK this nigga! Like, it was his last year as owner and he was passing the mantle off to HIS SON and the board of directors is just his kids and they wanted me to say 'THANKS DEAR LEADER!' So, I'm thanking him... For working FOR him... So his kids can become him and have dominion over a 3rd of my life, have entitled themselves to my attitude or my on-the-clock emotional state, compel my speech with 5 lines of NPC dialogue, and all of this under the threat of exile and privation if I fail to comply? And I have to wear a uniform (which started in communist China). They literally gaslight me with my schedule
I was supposed to have off Sunday but I show up Saturday and the schedule has been changed without my knowledge. And if I don't like it... I just have to move to a different communist dictatorship don't I? Except I CAN'T! Because the water pump on my car went out and I literally can't go further than a block away from my house without my car stalling! I went to Taco Bell last week and my car stalled on my way into my parking lot and I had to push it into a parking space. Can't afford to get it fix. Can't work more hours because they have labor quotas. They keep hiring people to supplant my hours but they keep firing them because they are worse. When my manager told me that they fired the last one I laughed in her fucking face because SHE KNOWS the job is shit and that noone wants to do it and no one is ever going to work as hard as they want you to (Because they want you to dedicate your life to the dear leader and one of their values is Humility defined as 'Doing all of the work and taking none of the credit'). But that's corporate communism for you."
