- bobsmooth 3y agoPeople love laughing at people they think are below them. In the current political climate, pretty much all of the groups that were laughed at are protected now and deriding them is uncouth. Thankfully, it will always be okay to laugh at stupid people but only in specific contexts.
- isk517 3y agoIt isn't ok to make fun of people just because they are stupid, no, these people can be made fun of because they are stupid AND greedy.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoWe're all stupid and greedy to various degrees. Making fun of people probably isn't conducive to a happy life.
- dpkirchner 3y agoIn this case I think it's more accurate to say the laughter is directed at people who said they're above us normies that aren't hodling any NFTs.
- GartzenDeHaes 3y agoFor several years, anyone who pointed out problematic or criminal aspects of crypto were subject to a torrent of abuse from the people you are identifying as the victims.
- unixhero 3y agoThere is no need for a disclaimer
- astrange 3y agoLuckily they should recover in 2-3 days, this is usually more like a sunburn than permanent injury.

- Yadayadaaaa 3y agoWhy not? Its called Schadenfreude and tbh the amount of NFT or Crypto scams, garbage and co people had to endure the last years is horrendes. Its one thing to state in a comment that you shouldn't use NFT or crypto, but unfortunate we are not discussing banning them activly.
- stu2b50 3y agoI think being into NFTs and crypto makes you a fool. But I do not think fools should suffer vision damage, or that they deserve harm on them.
- asadotzler 3y agoFools alone, maybe deserving of some sympathy. Greedy get-rich-quick fools who derided everyone not participating in the scam, nah, no sympathy from me, none at all.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoWhat is this horrible suffering people had to endure? IMO, it was basically all self inflicted anguish due to "someone else is wrong on the internet" syndrome. If someone wants to gamble their money away, you don't have to care. If they want to talk about it, you don't have to listen. People act like living in a world with people who act differently was some kind of ordeal. they have totally lost the ability to not engage with topics they don't enjoy, and then take joy in the pain of others.
- Yadayadaaaa 3y agoThe billions of Dollars taken by people not understanding it from the cryptobros. Lots and lots of people didn't just lose 'play money'
- jrflowers 3y agoPeople making those jokes can’t see how disgusting that behavior is. It is like they were blinded by the bright lights of cynicism. When I look into these people’s souls it is like staring into a vast black abyss.
- Mali- 3y agoJesus, bit melodramatic for poking some fun.
- Ensorceled 3y agoReally? These grifters have stolen millions from innocent patsies all while clogging social media with scams and arrogant “stay poor” memes and directed billions of VC funding into creating useless tools to facilitate the scams. And we’re disgusting for maybe thinking maybe karma had something todo with this?
- Grustaf 3y agoThe people that still own Bored Apes are more likely to have lost millions though
- Ensorceled 3y agoAnd they are still trying to sell their beanie babies …
- anigbrowl 3y agoI feel sorry for the attendees (though as noted their suffering is temporary, and they were probably drawn by the lure of easy money). I'm delighted about the organizers' further loss of reputation and likely legal troubles.
