I bet if I made one of those dumb effect apps that let you age your face or put on dog ears, I would make millions. It's always the dumbest shit you make that takes off in my experience; never the stuff you're proud of.
@thor Thats because being rich is not a real value to the world outside of yourself, and they don't care if you like that or not, they're going to steer you on the path they think is right or most valuable for you or whatever, and you're damned if you don't like it.
That you're proud of your stuff at all is enough for them. Thats where they stop giving a fuck about that particular detail, and focus on their selfish goals.
If fortune isn't the goal, you can do remarkable things.
@thor But no real person ever becomes rich without selling their soul to the devil. Those people you see winning the lottery are fake.
They know why you want to be rich, you want to have control of your own life, and money buys control. That's what they tell you, and they never, ever, ever let any of us have the fucking money. It's a racket my friend.
That is why crypto can't succeed. They murder people for less every year. I gave up when I saw the impossible barriers.
