This video was so hedged, but it still got turned into content grist by reactionary tube. I hope before I’m worms to bring a fraction of their water thimbles to the fire. They deserve a link to their patreon. Props for linking through invidious.

It’s primary feature is that the login mechanism doubles as a cryptocurrency wallet, and you can use it to tip other people in bitcoin. The richest can easily broadcast their views, to the applause of thousands of sycophants, looking to follow the groupthink and collect their satoshi-scraps.
