I need a reason to boycott YouTube and gain my life back but jesus; at their scale this would be terrible.
I always assumed the Bored Ape images were racist portrayals, because, you know, just look at them.
But Iād never seen the BAYC logo! Omg itās even more blatant than I imagined.
I mostly fight battles that can be won in this space.
Hence, going after Kickstarter (itās basically going to die now), Discord, Patreon, etcā¦
Someone with something actually different and new to say.
Apparently Mr. Varoufakis founded
The European Realistic Disobedience Front, or MeRA25, is a left-wing Greek political party founded in 2018
Looks like he beat Rym to the punch!
ā¦I fail to see how one can genuinely cherish freedom and tolerate capitalism.
Thatās the quote right there.
Using that one widely.
I will always remember him as EVE Onlineās in house economist (he of course had an academic career beforehand) who left to become Minister of Finance in Greece under Alexis Tsipras. This is not a dig at him or his work, just a tidbit Iāve found intriguing personally as his political career has been a thing for greek and euro politics.
Good interview. The thing Iām now most curious about reading more about is, by my own previous passive understanding of the situation, China sacrificing Evergrande as a way of bringing development speculation under control without bursting a bubble too hard. It seems thereās more to dig into here, as I assumed but didnāt know if it was a known thing.
Nah, not quite - He studied Eve, but he never worked for CCP games, he was the in-house Economist for Valve. CCPās in-house Economist was Eyjolfur Guomundsson.
We all know that the claim that āNFTs support artistsā is bullshit, but I think we have the clearest demonstration of it now.
A website called āHitPieceā has sprung up over night and just started selling NFTs for music. You can find anything and everything there, from Taylor Swift and Kanye West down to your local garage band that nobodyās ever heard of. If its on spotify, bandcamp or some other service you can probably find it there, selling bullshit links without any artists consent but while using peoples likenesses, album art etc.
Basically āhow to make the entire world mad at you in one easy stepā.
Dan Olson has been interviewed on The Financial Diet regarding his NFT video.
I also recommend checking out more of her channel. She has way more videos explaining why crypto is bad.
Cryptomorons tried to make Magic cards into NFTs, immediately get slapped by WotCās legal team.
I just want to say itās really funny that there are so many cryptobro superb owl commercials.
The whole crypto thing was originally pushed by people who were trying to escape the existing financial systems of āthe manā. They wanted to escape from under the heel of big banks, wall street, and the existing corporate institutions.
And here they go taking the money they scammed off of people and just give it to NBC. Not a financial corp, but absolutely part of āthe manā they were originally against. All in the hopes that they will be able to convince more rubes to pay for them to have a superb owl commercial next year.
Not really. They werenāt upset at the system. They were upset that they were the ones suffering from it instead of inflicting the suffering. Thatās basically why they are recreating every issue of the current financial system in theirs, just with them in charge and serving their interest. Itās not that they didnāt want there to be a āmanā, itās that they wanted to be āthe manā.
