Wow I thought this type of business was illegal or at least a very gray area conducted on the dark web but looks like the VCs at this point have no morals left. Gambling? Amazing. Spam? Take my money. Ad fraud? Yes please

A16Z is basically funding toxic fungi growing on the face of society at this point. So much of what they do seems to be a bet that people will want to pay money to do antisocial things and avoid the consequences.

Yes but they also stand to make money offering services to counteract the services they offer.

Surely this guy will never act as unethically to his investors as he does to his "audience", right?

I can only assume his VC funders have a bomb collar on him or something, otherwise I don't see why anyone would trust him with a penny.

A lot of people are against the current social media tech it seems. I wouldn't be surprised if they're funding the acceleration of its collapse to see what can come next.

New generation is less social, more sober, less motivated, more doomer.

Some people are naturally talented financially, and can make as much money as they like without doing anything to anyone else's disadvantage.

And then there's everyone else.

I remember some absolute nonsense garbage post from A16Z's cryptocurrency arm being posted on HN. They are scumbags.
