Everyone who keeps grovelling for my attention with some mewling "if you think it's bad why don't you adopt it and make it good instead" needs to be shoved into seven consecutive, nested lockers. 
If it's just that easy to "make it good" then why don't *you* do it and stop wasting my time by insisting that I waste my time fixing your mistakes?
The absolute jokerfication thing I've observed over the last few months is that the people who are the most vocally frowny face about how I "don't talk about the good projects" themselves overwhelmingly spend their time retweeting gachapon trash and memecoins.
"It's so good for artists! It really frees them up to talk about anything!"

The Unbearable Cringe of Crypto
"Sure, the devs who build social credit and surveillance systems are horny for crypto and all its strapped-on ecosystems, but I'm sure that if we just build the good version using their tools we'll definitely be able to out-compete them at their own game"
Kevin Roose' NYT piece has this absolutely Jeb-brained ahistorical take where he 1) pretends/ignores that no one was systemically critical of social media prior to 2020 and 2) insists that if they'd just been *more involved* they *maybe* could have made FaceBook less destructive.
The absolutely herculean hedging being done by "might" in that last paragraph is awe-inspiring.
Anyway, one of the two founders of OpenSea won awards for his work at Palantir, the surveillance company, and they're now deeply embedded in the a16z money tap ecosystem.
