The market is cyclical and we shouldn’t rule out crypto skyrocketing again in the next 5 to 10 years

Almost feels like this is a play to 1) see if the market will tolerate this 2) deter people from signing up for theirs or Twitter by making people say, "I thought about signing up for Twitter, but if they are all gonna charge now, f that!" I hate META but I can't say I hate either tactic.

Reply to comment by Cool_calm_connected in UN says AI poses 'serious risk' for human rights by Circlemadeeverything
I swear to god OpenAI released chatGPT as some sort of weird psyops. People are somehow convinced that AI exists for the public and don't at all understand that it's a tool with a cost barrier and like all other costly tools only the rich will have access to the best ones.

> Considering how well we reacted to taking an experimental vaccine willingly
This has nothing to do with vaccines.
Also, if you're going to bitch about vaccines, then I never want to see you eating ultraprocessed foods because you willingly ate those without knowing all the secret ingredients

What does this have to do with a vaccine?
That's a massive leap in logic.

We saw that this wasn't the case with the massive number of people paying 8 bucks to make fake verified accounts when Elon took over Twitter.

Lol, I haven't spent a dollar on anything but used 360 games at half-price books in over a decade and that's once every few years 😆. I got bills to pay.
Yeah, seems like every generation gets a nostalgia building chunk of time and everything else after that just never seems to match it, even when the games themselves are objectively better.

We are certainly on fast forward mode, I wonder what they'll do when all their short term money grabs are used up?

Technology has phases 1st step electricity was used 1st then wiring electricity has imaginary numbers when used for example a gear uses 1 electrical number it was previously thought electricity was wild, and that there was no way to make something but we used wires to change the currents for it so a gear could move. Just electrical scientist zapping everything all day the world is fake yall like a keyboard mouse.

I kinda liked that aspect, being locked in. You had to make your build work one way or another. Which increased the replay factor. I initially liked the ability to switch around the skills at a whim in D3, but instead of creating a ton of unique builds from each class, you just had the same class and a ton of equipment to make each variation work. I didn't really care for it but I do see the appeal.

god, what an awful thing to represent our generation. But I don't blame Zuck for this as paid subscriptions give him the ability to effectively moderate users.

That might actually work better than you think.
Social Media's cesspool is a natural effect of allowing everyone full unfettered access to communicate with everyone else anonymously with almost no repercussions beyond a banned account, which is zero barrier to entry because you can just create a new account and keep going.
If a pay wall exists, the vast majority of these people won't be spending money just to troll others, and the noise will drop off significantly. Granted, the biggest paid actors that try to flood social media with propaganda might still exist, but then again, they might not if it costs them millions of dollars for accounts that they have to keep re-spending every time the farm gets banned.
TL;DR - Mass Trolling exists cuz it's free and anonymous. Remove both of those and it'll likely either vanish entirely, or get niche'd into oblivion.

There will be ads unless of course you pay an annual subscription fee in which case there are fewer ads.

If the merge can go through enough time before launch, then sure.

I don’t understand the hate for 3. I loved being able to just pop skills and gear around to completely change up how a class worked without restarting the game every time you wanted to dabble in something new.
Don’t get me wrong, it was rough as hell when it first launched, but I enjoy where it is now.
