Oh what complete fucking energy wasting bullshit that can be handled by a simple db. Just more corporate buzzword bingo from these jackasses in charge.

It's just another ploy to get people to use their shitty app.

Don't knock the tech just because it's currently being used like stocks and currencies. Fundamentally the blockchain solves the problem of making a distributed database secure and modifiable when in the presence of untrustworthy nodes -- no easy task. Simple dbs are not up to this task

Fundamentally there's absolutely no need to use this to keep track of Internet points on a social media site. It's bullshit, buzzword bingo.

that's why I generally, just like keeping my blockchain news with EIPs/ERCs rather from anything/anyone else or at least merit based.
