seeing Brands launch their NFTs *now*, in the final days of the yr, are yet another reminder of 1) how long product launches can take, esp for big entities 2) how eager people are to ship THE THING and get it off their desks by EOY 3) how whiplash-y tech has been in the year 2022

@germnetwork IMO if we understand this as a societal issue, it’s too late if you wait to do anything until there’s content to moderate.

[Melanie Ensign @iMeluny]

[Melanie Ensign @iMeluny]

@jsrailton It seems to only be harder for USG to see it at home. 😎
