For context, here's an article about another pump.fun streamer: Teen creates memecoin, dumps it, earns $50,000. Regretably, I don't have any articles on-hand about the tens of thousands of people that are losing money to this scam.

The article says he is a pump.fun streamer. That's not even real crypto. It's literally a pump and dump website where anyone can make a new fake token by giving it a name and a picture. Then the price is set algorithmically until it gets enough people buying it that it converts into a real token. There are no fundamentals or differentiating factors between the tokens. It's all a scam built upon the greater fool theory. At least different crypto currencies have different attributes and reasons to use them over others.

You wouldn't want cold storage of any tokens on that site since they'll be worthless the next day.

But, tbf, I don't know if it was pump.fun slop that was stolen or a real crypto currency.

I hate this move and love my sideloaded apps. However, there are plenty of self hosted apps on the play store. It's just putting in a unique address at setup, not compiling a whole unique app for each server.

Yeah, but has she fixed her laugh though?

It's not uncommon for police to murder someone / do something terrible, get fired, then immediately move to the next town over and get hired. This is nothing.

By "first-party" here, I mean sites that make the product they're selling. Like I wouldn't trust the reviews on Samsung's website for a Samsung phone. Amazon is separate enough that the conflict of interest isn't really there, but Amazon reviews are so targeted by illegitimate reviews that they're not S-tier trustworthy.

I never trust reviews on first-party sites. However, reviews on other sites can be very helpful. Maybe not yelp lol.

Is leaving a review really free labor? I view it more as community building. Nobody has reviews shoved down their throat without asking, they are sought out and helpful for the consumer. And so sellers like reviews because consumers like reviews and it makes them more likely to patronize their business.

I enjoy leaving good reviews. Helps my fellow humans find quality things that I enjoyed and helps the business I like make more things I like. It's a win win win situation. This is especially true for small business, many of which live or die on reviews.

And allowing Trump to win by not electing Harris benefited the victims of genocide how, exactly?
