If it's a mild take or consensus take, it will get removed.

I’m going to teach you all how to engagement farm on Farcaster. It’s very simple actually. Ready?

Say something negative about Elon Musk or his companies.
The path to nirvana is paved with kindness—and maybe a little bit of rhinestone.”
Forming my opinion purely on their insane marketing tactics between 2020-2024, Polygon always felt like a grift-chain to me.

Reorgs in blocks every week, pretending to be decentralized with 2 nodes, obfuscafing the differences between Polygon POS and zkEVM depending on the marketing angle, paying ETH influencers to position Polygon as decentralized, launching new coin after the first one dried out, copying other L1s' offering and presenting it as "innovation"...

Not saying they've done zero contribution but marketing gimmick list just doesn't end with those guys.

"Market manipulation" strikes me as conceptually incoherent; I don't know how you can consistently distinguish between legitimate market operations and illegitimate ones

To operate in the market is to "manipulate" it, it can't be otherwise

HOT TAKE:
American Dad is less popular than the Simpsons and Family Guy because it doesn’t showcase a baddie settling for less like Marge with Homer or Lois with Peter Griffin.

the simpsons & family guy promotes women settling for lazy alcoholic bums. I call it “pathetic man supremacy” propaganda

while American Dad showcases all around better values, & more intellectual humor that relates to wider audience of viewers & showcases strong willed women. (compared to Family Guy imo)
So Doodles just paid McDonald’s a licensing fee, right? And all of crypto fell for the “mainstream adoption” rhetoric again like it’s 2021 all over again.
Hot take: @anoncast needs even more curation / quality control
I muted the anon accounts last week. I've seen spam, scams, hacks, false information, and political extremism, and misogyny. Plus, I also don't want to accidentally click on a bad link or fake frame and lose my money.
I’d have been chiseling nudes in marble I guess.
