    I really worry for Gen Alpha what with stuff like Fortnite and Roblox poisoning ther brains with microtransaction bullshit. But then agan my generations media was basically just advertising for toys, so maybe they’ll be okay.

    Really hate how normalized continuously feeding money into a game even after you’ve paid for it has become. Along with poor shaming kids for having default skins.

      Something I’m interested in is how the playerbase and revenue is split between children and adults. It’s possible there are more adults flossing than we imagine.

      I think the speed with which the trends change have gotten so fast that the younger generations will lose interest in capitalism a lot faster.

      Capitalists will ultimately always become the victims of their own success. Their strategies only work on the assumption of infinite resources after infinite growth. They’ll run out of whatever they’re using eventually and they won’t be able to use Robux to buy their way out of guillotines
