One inaccuracy in a historical report allows detractors to call the whole thing a lie.

Still not sure why you are so adamant about giving $5 a month to a monopoly generating 30bn per year. But you be you.

The difference is 45% of $12 and your original goal at the top of this thread was to support your content creators, not YouTube.

“The YouTubers” not your YouTuber.

Better just to split $7 a month between your favourite patreon accounts and put up with some advertising.

That’s an ok justification, but I thought you were buying YouTube premium to support your content creator, not to support YouTube. YouTube premium doesn’t support your content creator.

What I mean is that paying for YouTube premium is a very indirect and inefficient way to support your preferred content creator.

On the other hand, YouTube is also supporting some content creators you hate…

… But at least you don’t have to watch them.

neither has any plans to accept the other’s NFTs.

However, NFTs that are accepted by both will have higher value.

but the game itself doesn’t care.

We are starting seeing this on Roblox and Fortnite where skins can pass through to different games. .

As soon as either company crashes and goes bankrupt, everything connected will become useless and lose most or all value. Thus, blockchain wouldn’t fix the issue.

That’s exactly what blockchain is fixing. E.g. Your valuable skins don’t disappear when the company running the game you play goes bankrupt.

That’s the theory. Games companies are at the private blockchain stage but there are some small web3 game developers.

Steam cards are a good example. Imagine if stream went bankrupt. Wouldn’t be an issue with Blockchain.

Facebook started as invite only. Great for an exclusive, loyal customer.

NFTs are different to blockchain, so you’re just muddying the waters for yourself with the Walmart thing

Each item is represented by an NFT on the Walmart blockchain. The innovation in the chain of custody is that everyone is verifiably using the same database. It’s a permissioned database, so it’s proof of authority.

Private keys sign hashes. Hashes cannot sign hashes because there is no associated private key.

The legal system needs to enforce ownership and recognise the blockchain as the official ownership registry.

It’s one example of NFTs in real business. Need more?

• Walmart tracks their supply chain using blockchain.
• Starbucks loyalty scheme is NFT based

Previously you’ve not been able to transfer tickets without third party help. Nor could issuers participate in the profits in the secondary market.

Nfts will creep in slowly as efficiency gains are realized. They are already being used for airline tickets.
