@madewithgsap You guys should really have a lifetime option. At least per batch or sth. Subscription is the most annoying thing ever sorry for a user

[Juniper Smith @juneleedesign]

Who ever is working at @webflow must live in a bubble. Most of the sites I build are for professionals like lawyers, real estate agents, musicians, restaurants, individual healthcare professionals, beauty professionals etc. They don’t have marketing teams. More ranting below....

[Ted @based_yogurt]

@galluzzo_julian For small businesses absolutely horrible. If they at least would still care about designer issues. Nobody needs the crap they promote there. Fix things, fuck your ai stuff. Maybe make a plan for super small businesses. But this? Nope

[Jo Mor @iamjomor]

It’s really getting annoying @Webflow. My clients & I don’t care bout 99% of the new bells and whistles. Instead of chasing more Enterprise customers, focus on improving the product for us designers & builders. U lost ur way #webflow This unbridled growth is shaking ur foundation

[Ted @based_yogurt]

@webflow Are you guys completely losing it? At least make a very simple small plan for all the one small people without anything on it. Your pricing completely gets out of hand slowly. No one needs stupid credits or another 500 js files making sites slow what we need is simplicity

[toly 🇺🇸 @toly]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. Completely the opposite. A farm that’s is worth 1b means that the future food that it grows over the lifetime of the farm that people want to eat is worth $1b

Tesla’s valuation is the future cars and robots that it ships to consumers.

The food and the cars are the wealth. If the world had double the food and cars it’s clearly wealthier.

In all examples the company valuation goes up the more people it can serve. Getting more cars or food into more people’s hands makes a number in a computer go up.

@binance thoughts on chillhouse?

[Ted @based_yogurt]

@emonpixels Did you leave webflow completely?

[toly 🇺🇸 @toly]

Envy is a mental illness. @elonmusk’s net worth is a number in a computer. It’s capital, not wealth. The only way it goes up is if the companies he runs create stuff that people want, and they want it so much they are willing to pay for them.

No one is forced to buy his cars or use his satellites for internet. Thats the actual wealth. The stuff that people use. The more he can create at scale so everyone can use it, the more the peoples standard of living goes up. His net worth is literally the closest measurement we have to how much wealth he actually will ship to people.

If you dipshits actually read Marx you’d understand that wealth can only be created by the worker. Living labor applying dead labor. The workers calloused hands swinging a hammer to produce something. That’s the wealth.

Elon’s wealth when he sells his capital and spends the proceeds on stuff. Like if he had a bunch of homes or jets or luxury cars.

The irony is that Elon uses as much wealth as Senders. Both fly private. The jets and the fuel is the product of some workers calloused hands. Did Senders organize labor to produce an electric car at an economic surplus? No soviet politician had a cap table, but they all lived like successful capitalist.

[toly 🇺🇸 @toly]

It’s a tax on future productivity. The value of equities is literally based on their future cash flows. The stuff the company will sell in the future. If you tax future cash flows there will be less of them in the future.

If you tax crops that a farmer hasn’t even sown yet, there will be less food grown in the future.

Not only is this tax anti-capitalist, it is anti-communist. It is not seizing the means of production to capture the surplus for the benefit of the state, it is destroying the existing means of production.

The people proposing it are either idiots, or sociopaths that are taking advantage of idiots

Shortages can only persist when someone benefits from them politically

Anyone got a Foundation invite?

[Chill House @ChillHouseSOL]

I’m done with memecoins, publicly at least.

Been an investor for over 15 years.
Been in crypto for almost 10.
Been in memecoins for under 2.

The first meme I traded was chill guy, followed by house coin. The third was the first one I hyperstitioned, chill house.

The memecoin side of myself is more of an alter ego to punt and play around with memetics and this account, treating it like an arts project, than an actual means to an end. I generate almost all of my capital outside of it.

At my size, I’d rather stick to and talk about pure plays, where I’m not a catalyst, just like where most of my port has been over the last year. Gold, silver, alt-assets.

[ripe @ripe0x]

artists should deploy their own auction contracts too

artists in control

[Nyan Cat Collection @NyanCatSales]

Foundation is the most disappointing platform I've ever used in Web3. I joined when they had about 300 followers, and minting my artwork there brought them massive press. From there I gave suggestions that improved the site, and personally onboarded about 20 classic meme creators there, generating $2.8m in sales, handing Foundation about $420,000 in platform fees (15% at the time).

Their thanks? The founder told me on a phone call that if you're not actively minting there then they aren't going to showcase you. They stopped talking about my artwork in December 2021, then later used my artwork (this specific artwork was *not* minted on their platforms) in an unauthorized commercial. I since then moved to using custom contracts, to stop being exploited by greedy platform gatekeeper behavior.

Now Foundation is dying, and they have the nerve to ask the artists they've milked for years to pay $20/month to pin their own artwork which stays on their contract. I refuse to keep my art on a platform that spent years squandering creator goodwill.

To my 1/1 collectors (the 6 or 7 of you, this does not apply to any of my main collections), if you ever have issues viewing your pieces please contact me directly (@PRguitarman ) and I can set up a free burn redeem so your artwork can live on a new custom contract where it belongs. It is a frustrating thing to realize, but on the bright side your owned artwork will be free, no longer muddled in a pile of 111,000 other artworks on a dead contract, controlled by a dead platform that gave up on every artist there.

[Ted @based_yogurt]

Such a shame. I would totally overtake that thing and go back to art and work with real artists to revive it how it should be but I cant afford you guys lol.
