Who’d have thought BoredApe NFTs would be such an actual eyesore?
I'm guessing they didn't hire an event lighting company and did it themselves. No one I know in the industry would do that.
The invisible hand of the free market blinded me.
This is why I don't go out anymore.
Wtf is a boerd ape NFT event? I know the bored ape images and I know what an event is... But wtf? Are people supposed to go somewhere to look at those ugly images? People should know they can enjoy this meaningless garbage online. For free.
One of the perks of owning these NFTs was that you could attend exclusive events. What those events were going to be about was anyone's guess. Eye burn, apparently.
It's kind of like when you have Reddit gold and get access to the super exclusive private r/lounge subreddit... That has no actual purpose and nobody bothers posting in it because what are you even supposed to do there?
Laugh about the non guilded peasants. Or at least that is what I saw on the few times I was guilded.
Free fedoras, since they on the floor wriggling in pain xD
People blowing leftover VC money on propping up their failing industry.
Oh thanks I get it know. Buying NFTs is like buying tickets to a concert. What if the events isn't anywhere near me? Still a very stupid concept.
Basically, it's the same thing as buying a "permanent" ticket to a local sports team's home matches. What? Your local team doesn't sell "permanent" tickets? Exactly.
Well, they do: https://www.bvb.de/Tickets/Stadionplan/Dauerkarten
Not quiet sure what you mean but please, don't respond. That was already way more thought about something NFT related as I'd wish to have.
I was thinking Concerned Ape, the dev of Stardew Valley…and I was concerned
Ditto, after that talk about the TV show. I was like man, how far has he fallen.
I think if he sold NFT’s I would just about lose all faith in mankind. Now when the hell is haunted chocolatier coming…
Selling NFTs is some JojaMart shit. Concerned Ape would never.
Exactly
does he even host any events?
No, but I barely recall what bored ape is or how it is culturally relevant…which is why I thought of it
That's the neat part: it isn't.
It’s a fine example of modern idiocy.
if you give relevancy to idiocy, it's not my problem
What is with all the “not my problem” replies all of a sudden. This is a sad troll effort.
what do you mean? I haven't seen one myself yet. It's just a common expression.
I don't think that comment is trolling, just a bit low effort post. But that's nothing rare in Lemmy/Reddit.
I have received something like 5 different replies to separate replies of my own, from new accounts with only one comment, all of which end with “not my problem.” It’s almost like a bot keyed off that phrase from my reply in a privacy community post, or there are some butthurt people with too much time on their hands.
It sounds like a weirdly specific thing for a bot to do.
It could be a case of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon:
I was just informed that someone is following me around downvoting everything, which is hilarious since my instance has downvotes disabled. It’s definitely some idiot or a group of them.
edit: also, its adorable that you suggest it’s all in my head, it’s not. I have the receipts. And the fact they are all coming from new accounts with only the one comment each is pretty obvious.
Oh that's bad. Good luck getting rid of them.
I personally find downvotes useful because there are a lot of low quality comments and content. Downvotes help me (and others) to avoid seeing them. Thus not wasting time with uninteresting posts or comments. But you aren't supposed to downvote everything that someone says.
Not that bad, the block feature works great.
I place zero value on downvotes because they’re used as a weapon, such as right now for me if my instance actually logged them, or as a harassment strat against lgtbq individuals, etc, and they have the potential and often do hide perfectly valid solutions in help threads because someone suggested an unorthodox method for a specific case that gets downvoted to oblivion because that solution didn’t toe the line with everyone else’s preferred one.
So feel free to engage with that, I’m not.
It was a stupid decision to attend a party created by the creators of a stupidly overpriced asset.
"asset" lol
You mispelled "obvious scam"
To be fair, the keys are right next to each other.
It’s unfortunate that people were injured but fuck, I’m still scarred just by seeing these awful things. At least if they were going to do a scam art investment scheme they could have made the art not hideous.
So the financial harm wasn't obvious enough for the Bored Apes? The creators wanted to be sure everyone knew it was made to hurt them directly but burning their retinas.
Bored Ape NFT owners say: "Ow! My money! Ow! My eyes!"
You wanted deregulation, and ya got It, biiiachezzz
Wait I though bored apes """""creator""""""/ main bag holder split with the money and tanked the whole market for apes
This is probably the bag holders trying desperately to keep the apes relevant in hopes they can pump up the price again and offload.
I thought this was about concerned ape for a second after he was talking about some random TV show. I was like, man, how fall have we fallen.
For a moment I thought the title refers to the attendees as bored apes.
