>I found that no, it really is that dumb, and I had understood it correctly months ago, and all the jargon was just meaningless bollocks word salad.

My brother is an artist and absolutely refused to believe that the hype around NFTs was just bullshit. I'm sure if I called and asked right now, he'd still give me some word salad about how it's going to start paying off any day now. Now if anyone talks to me about NFTs, I send that me that Folding Ideas youtube video, 'Line goes up' and refuse to engage with them.

Totally agree about NFTs, but any artist gets a full pass from me.

Artists have it rough and I don't blame them for being charmed by con artists.

this sounds like a certain kind of stubbornness. but i wonder if the collison brothers listen with predatory intensity to critiques or their business from random strangers in the same way they listen to pg. perhaps some discrimination is useful

I have a friend who's still convinced that GameStop's going to the moon. Any day now...

The thing with GameStop being a meme stock is crazy. If they were smart they would have used their increased value to restructure the business and make it viable so that it would actually be worth what the stock is worth.

When someone talks to you about a topic you don't want to engage in you send them a link to a 2.5 hour long video?

I mean, can't the point be made in 3m?

Making the point over and over and over for two and a half hours gives you time to run away and hide.

Well, it gets them out of your hair for 2.5 hours...

Unless they don't bother to watch it. Then it gets them out of your hair permanently, because they know they're supposed to watch it before hassling you about it again.

Honestly, it can be made as fast you can say 'NFTs are bullshit' but some people don't want to hear it from a friend or family member.
