Comment on 'Personality-driven' influencer esports league revealed, immediately implodes over NFT controversy
Zeron@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt just feels wrong, and I can’t quite explain why.
It’s essentially throwing a slab of meat into an arena and watching the starved poors fight to the death over it, then watching while you’re served the equivalent of thanksgiving dinner by your butler/maids in a safe climate controlled room.
There comes a point where “philanthropy” simply becomes rich people making games for the poors to win a “prize” and seeing how they react for their own entertainment. The lambo example seems pretty much spot on for that.
