They used to farm kharma to sell accounts to other parties. This resulted in a WHOLE lot of karma-farming bots that just reposted old content. Now they're going to just pay those bots directly instead. Now do we think things will get better or worse?

I pretty much just assume "Free To Play" games are full of microtransactions, is that wrong?

E: to be clear, I don't think microtransactions are an inherently bad thing. In fact, if people want to make games where other people with more money front the costs of development, I'm all about it.

What I hate is being reminded every 5 minutes that it has garbage skins that I can pay IRL money for.

Not a single actual quote from Elon in this article. Does anyone know what he actually said? Because the title states it as a definitive while the excerpts sound more like he was just floating the idea out loud.

Okay, now you're at work, and your sister miscarries her pregnancy. When do you discover this? 6pm? 8pm? Later that week?

Gen Z finds out between customers. Or emails.

When do millennials find out?

So it got USB-C and replaced the vibrate switch with an "action" button.

Most iterative generation ever?
