    you can sell digital art (not music) on bandcamp? Like a 3D digital object or an animation?

    Don’t be obtuse man, it’s not cool.

    yeah the right click save as argument doesnt really work either... we all pay for bandcamp downloads when we could just as easily pirate the music and not pay for it, but we choose to pay because we understand it's supporting artists. this is the same reason people are buying NFTs. to support the artist who made it rather than just "steal" it.

    But in a lot of cases, the purchaser is not buying anything. Not a jpg, png, or bmp, they’re buying a token that says they have ownership of some url that points to a piece of art, and that can easily be taken down. That’s the scam part. 
     

    NFTs don’t democratize anything (every artist can easily set up an eth wallet and sell from their website), rather they take away trust from the evolving digital world and place control of “art” back into the hands of the elite who can afford to bid up these pieces. 
     

    The “right click save as..” argument is in reference to the obvious difference between a physical object and digital object. Sure object fetishization is gross (my Analord binder will never be sold) but there’s a distinct difference between the turntable and the digital art.

    not to rain on your parade, but chen effed up in listing her right next to you in the first place, because that T-Swift album was actually from 2020.

    I should not know these things, but sadly I do.

    Yeah it was from December 2020 so close enough that I put it in 2021. 
     

    plus I fulfilled @auxien’s life long desire to be next to Tay! Lol

    NFT for the rights to obtain “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” by Ryuichi Sakamoto handwritten music sheet”, the physical copy will be sent after the notice by "Adam byGMO". 
     

    this part is cool but the rest is BS.

    Can you explain more why this is "100% a scam" ? I have friends who are digital artists and now feel they can sell their legitimate art on a worldwide marketplace and receive compensation commensurate to physical media artists for the first time.

    I think you’re confusing here: artists can sell worldwide through the internet with relative ease, and have been able to do so for some time. Bandcamp for example has offered sales to multiple countries for a number of years. 
     

    NFTs are not the actual artwork, and therein lies the scam. This has been explained in more detail previously in the thread.

    David Icke is fucked for sure.

    From that article you linked:

    Quote

    Call it the religion of “just asking questions.” Or the religion of “doing your own research.”

    That's the problem right there. I'm dumb as a rock, but at least i'm not conducting research through facebook naturopath groups.

    That's a really good article - thanks for sharing.

    as an IV drug user it was just too dangerous. i liked getting high but i didn't want to die. snoopy cartoons, one after school special and mr T with nancy reagan on his lap saved me i think. 

    chengo approves.

    these are weak narratives

    These are not narratives - they are fact. Easy to look up the contract with the Canadian political party, his book is out there, and it's relatively easy to look up his past. It's also easy to see that he hasn't faced any jail time or financial penalty, so I'm not sure what the "tremendous cost" has been to him besides getting his facebook account closed down...which is probably a plus?

    dude stop transforming what i said into something you want to attack. i already addressed your interpretation vs the intended meaning on the page 13. i stand by what i said and you do not get to tell me what i meant. i guess i should have phrased it differently so as to not trigger you so hard. 

    LOL it's either a small operation or a potent new power that effected change on an industrial scale. Choose and stand by your point.

    Wylie is an opportunist. His history is sketch as fuck, and he's simply in it for the dollar/fame.

    t spooked the architect into being a whistleblower at tremendous cost to himself.

    He started his own company (which couldn't deliver on his promises - he tried a pilot project for a Candian political party and did not receive the actual contract), and is pushing a book. Sure sounds like a tremendous cost. Did he face any jail time or financial penalty for illegally using the Facebook data?

    i know better than you how small of an operation ca was. i never claimed it was the thing, though you are having trouble accepting that.... i made that clear in my first post on page 13 that triggered you.

    i don't think enough people appreciate what cambridge analytica demonstrated. imagine being able to decide who gets power. this was a new force unleashed on earth: systemized psychological manipulation through the internet, at industrial scale, and able to deliver measurable results.

     

    Does that sound you're describing a small operation?

    You talk about the impact this messaging has - I'm trying to tell you, fix the underlying economic issues,improve access to quality education, and people will be much less likely to buy in to the scare-mongering and fake news. It's easy to be scared of something that's different when your economic world has crumbled around you.

    This shows that while Republicans distrust their main mews sources to a larger extent than Democrats, the majority still have some trust in their main news source. Also those who are older (more economically secure) and better educated (college degree) exhibit more trust in their main news sources:
