I mean, it is, of course, an idea that has possibilities. Going from the 1970s to the 1980s, print ads becoming less relevant, how celebrities became more important to an ad than the product, why “funny” ads made a bigger impact than “8 out of 10 doctors recommend...,” African Americans in ads go mainstream and not…

Doing the math, it’s now 1975. Sally is a script superviser on Jaws when, getting stoned in her motel room with Murray Hamilton, she sees a TV report about the Simbianese Liberation Army and recognizes Glen among the group. Meanwhile, Don becomes consumed with the Betamax account. “People will forget VHS even…

“Maybe Jon Hamm shows up as an old man, and at one point he falls down and he can’t get up and tries to sleep with her friends”

I mean that’s definitely a part of it. But since Twitch started out as a gaming site (and probably still overwhelmingly gaming content), there’s probably a ‘women in my vidya’ thing going on too, where Gamers™ are also pissed that “she used OUR website” to make all that money.

She’s smart and knows what she’s doing. She’s shown to be capable of gaming our tax system to increase her wealth and even her “missteps” on Twitch have provided nothing but publicity.

I think what pisses off so many people is that she *is* smart. She knows what she’s doing and she does it well and she knows when and where to jump in and jump out.

Geez, you’ve got a wild imagination. Care to back up your claims with sources?

“The real lesson is to find a thing that is nascent enough and perceived to be uncertain and risky enough as to offer you outsized rewards for a modicum of professionalism”

Nobody was going to win any awards for “The Emoji Movie”.

I think it's incredibly wasteful but I just don't bother with the environmental angle anymore since it's such a low hanging fruit for the cryptosimps to attack. They'll just blither on about proof of stake and what not. Easier to just point out how fundamentally useless NFTs are since they have a much harder time…

I’m surprised it wasn’t referred to as a synergistic solidified content vertical.

For instance, the guy who is the subject of this very article!

Not quite - emphasising that value is nothing more than market price is a meaningful piece of understanding that many people lack. And it moves us from the fairly philosophical “what is value?” to the concrete “what determines market prices?”, which was a big step for the creation of economics. [early theorists got it…

It’s a hot potato and someone is going to get left holding the worthless items.

Well he was arrested for "disrupting the economic system" but I guess they realised he was innocent all along since he was only ever disrupting his own finances.

Usually, I cheer when I hear that Iran has released someone from prison...usually.

Good. I hope this is the beginning of the end of this NFT nonsense.

There’s absolutely no reason to have a video just to repeat three tweets from celebrities.
