How is this of any significance to humanity? Seems like a weird way to waste both time and money.
Now all my crappy code will crash much faster.
I made my chat font Comic Sans because I think it's funny that the "Supreme Allied Linux Commander" for our organization (me) uses Comic Sans on Skype For Business. Keeps 'em on their toes.
But Brave Browser has no problem blocking them.
The point of advertising is to generate demand (want). The more you can influence people to want your product, the more of your product you're going to sell.
I bought $1000USD of Doge back when it took 12 of them to make a single penny just to have fun with on IRC. We set up a doge wallet bot and used tipping in Doge as a way to encourage productive/constructive comments and contributions to our little channel, as well as educating people about crypto. I ended up giving away at least half of the Doges to various channel dwellers just for the fun of it. (Using random soaks & tips of 100 doge here & there.)
Fast forward to now it's around
I still have quite a bit of Doge left and it has oddly turned out to be one of the most entertaining & enjoyable successful investments I've made.

They found that the birds, rather than forming aversions to taste, developed aversions to the visual features of whatever made them sick. Still, they knew what they shouldn't eat in order to survive. In a previous study in which 10 crocodilians were fed different types of meat, some slightly toxic, Gallup discovered that like dinosaurs, crocodilians did not develop learned taste aversions.
The scientists concluded that though the asteroid played a role in the extinction of dinosaurs, the "plants had already placed severe strain on the species," Gallup said.
"The prevailing view of dinosaur extinction based on the asteroid impact implies that the disappearance of dinosaurs should have been sudden and the effects should have been widespread, but the evidence clearly shows just the opposite: Dinosaurs began to disappear long before the asteroid impact and continued to gradually disappear for millions of years afterward."
I worked at an MSP a while ago. We were a reseller of Datto backup devices. We had many clients who used them and were quite happy with them.
But some clients just didn't think there was a value in spending $100 a month to make sure they were fully backed up.
One client in particular rejected every backup proposal we offered. Then he got nailed with Cryptolocker which encrypted everything he had on his network. Out of desperation he paid the $500 and never heard back.
The next month we had installed a Datto and as luck would have it he got nailed by Cryptolocker AGAIN. This time we just rebuilt everything from the latest backup and he was up and running again within 2 hours. He was a perfect example of a business owner who learned the importance of his network and data the hard way and we were able to use him as an example to other clients who just weren't seeing the big picture.
I always wonder why they don't just move the clock 30 minutes in one direction and then NEVER DO IT AGAIN.
That's because they are basically part of the US Gov't. How many "former" GS members have been in presidential cabinet members? Lots and for years. How many members of Congress have come from or moved to GS? Lots. They don't call it the revolving door for nothing. They're inextricably connected.
