    It was provided

    Sure, but the cost of it was also baked into your monthly subscription, you were renting it. And if they gave it to you “for free” they were still making tons of profits on your monthly bill

    Not saying it’s not worse, but the idea that was like “when corporations were nice” also definitely isn’t true






  • Yeah the obsession of like “make it a home” is weird to me in a world of rising living costs and very few being able to afford a house. My apartment complex just raised my rent $200 this year and that’s low compared to the market. Why the fuck would I put posters or photos up I’m going to have to take down when I can’t afford the next rent increase next year?

    But also implemented incredibly stupidly. You are purchasing a url in a blockchain that points to a server or domain a singular person or org owns in most cases. That gets rid of any point of the blockchain. With enough money I just buy that server, the image url you purchased is now under my control and now it’s porn or something unless you pay me to restore it. There were very few NFTs where the actual thing you’re buying is on a distributed blockchain rather than a pointer to a centralized and privately owned server. In programming terms it’s what rust does to prevent bad pointers with https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html
