I feel like this is the fate of all the social networks whose main purpose is to feed into people's vanity. Surely 20 year companies can't be built off of people's desire to show off how much better their lives are to ours?
- pdimitar 10y agoBoth true and false. Don't forget that even now there are real-life VIP clubs the entrance to which costs the members pretty penny just so they can drink overpriced wine and convince each other they are special snowflakes, all the while crowding together underground in a place I wouldn't go in even if I am paid to. (And this phenomenon has been going on probably since the early medieval ages.) Maybe a virtual variant of that can be profitable but IMO it's doubtful. Elitism works best with real-life meetings. Same with snobism. ...Then again, I heard there are people sinking thousands of dollars each month into the dying game named e.Republic just so they can be shown in top-50 charts. TL;DR: Humans love to pay so they can feel special. Go figure.
- jessaustin 10y agoAre you talking about all bars with a cover charge, or is there some cutoff above which drinking and dancing with friends is snobism?
- pdimitar 10y agoI am talking about the so-called VIP clubs, so neither.
