Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

For reference, here's the video even if it isn't directly the topic of this post.

People work, in many cases harder than they've ever worked, yet what little they get out of it buys less than it did before.

Just about everything is more expensive, from groceries to housing to medicine.

But here comes "Gala Games" offering pretend internet real estate in often-never-completed "Web3" garbage games and credulous bazingas with money repeatedly give them tens of millions of dollars, per promised game, and after years of this same business model of lying and laying off the developers or getting into lawsuit slapfights, the bazingas are there hoping to buy their way into being digital landlords, overlords, or space lords (motherfuckers), and they seem to have both the credulity as a demographic and the disposable income to continue buying into this shit while so many other people are struggling to eat, survive illnesses, and just get by.

That's the post. Fuck cryptobros, and fuck techbro speculative investors in general. I want to be mad at "Gala Games" but at least they're just robbing some of the smuggest assholes in the world.
