Don't forget "thing is selling for <insane price>" based on unsold ebay listings...

...are you implying that digital money is worth more than digital? because I doubt anyone who spends cash regularly is holding much of it long enough to lose value to the digital ones in their checking account.

Actually, yeah. It's better than the customer spending that $20 elsewhere. And there's potential for upsell in-store and on the website. If people are defecting to wired from EarPods, it makes sense to try and position themselves

it's ironic how many people believe the lie that this country cares about child safety when not a single law has been changed to stop school shootings nor a single investigation since The Release of the Files...

Ironic - you lost me when I realized you were just writing this blog post as advertisement for your own AI tooling. Beyond being tired of being sold AI, we're just tired of being sold to in general.

I thought getting bought by the Tinder people is when OkC became more like Tinder. And OkC was the best at finding people I'd at the very least be friends with - which is foundational to me anyway. And Hinge loves hiding those profiles
