#Gamers should be #mad at the #AiBros who are like #CryptoBros funding an entire industry of #scalpers that build #FrankenGPU|s just so their #WastefulComputing can generate more shitty #AI stock images faster...

@cobordism @hyc @voxel IMHO the only thing that moving #Ethereum from #PoW to #PoS achieved is raising the wall to make it harder, more expensive amd less attractive for #SmallInvestors to fiddle with it.
- #NotFinancialAdvice but I would've always disrecommended that espechally after #Buterin et. al. decided to #Backroll due to them and others having been #HornyForMoney and wanting to pull funds from #TheDAO.
Demondtrably, #EthereumClassic would at least be more trustworthy, alas that's an Opinion based off 'vibes'…
Did #nintendo get the #switch2 into gamers hands? #gaming #consolegaming #scalpers

Not fair that Pokémon Go Plus + devices are out of print and I had to pay scalper prices for a new one. >_>
ZOTAC is cool, actually Am I beyond stoked for the #NintendoSwitch2? Yes.
Am I annoyed that we have to wait until April for the #Switch2 #NintendoDirect? Also yes.
Am I pissed that #scalpers will most likely get them all because shops don’t care who buys them? You know me too well.

@dankeykang And then the same #Contentmafia has the audacity to complain about people who just want to chug a file into #VLC and be done with it.
- Bonus points if the same #ValueRemoving #Rentseekers that demand "#Respect" for their #IP won't even offer the consumer a legal and fair way to buy a #disc that works #offline as a #PhysicalMedia.
I know for a fact at least a dozen movies who didn't get any #rerelease - #Streaming or #disc - that are thus "#unobtainable" outside of #UsedMarket and thus #scalpers and #piracy.
- It's not as if people "don't want to pay" it's that they can't even get shit if they are able and willing to do so!

@ustralien And nowadays I've to snipe for #NewOldStock #Trackpoint #Keyboards like that but it's just not #sustainable to buy them off #scalpers like #Ersazza who charge >1000% of the original price down the road...

#Scalpers Work With #Hackers to Liberate T#icketmaster's ‘Non-Transferable’ #Tickets
By reverse-engineering how Ticketmaster and #AXS actually make their electronic tickets, scalpers have essentially figured out how to regenerate specific, genuine tickets that they have legally purchased from scratch onto infrastructure that they control. In doing so, they are removing the anti-scalping restrictions put on the tickets by Ticketmaster and AXS.

@Nolasox We need to keep our jam & animal band community as scalper free as possible. Only the Community can govern this (we know the ticket sellers Ticketmaster AXS etc are not going to do jack - in fact, they allow scalping directly through their own websites, where the maximum ticket price for reselling is allowed to be far higher than face+fees)
Buy and sell only through CoT and reject #scalpers #scalping !
