Isn't it really worse than that? Isn't it really that we don't seek financial advice from somebody like quas who posts anonymously on a backwater skeptic forum and ends up repeatedly grabbing the short end of the stick? I mean, it's the blogosphere in its current incarnation, where everybody gets to have his or her say, but writ very, very small.

So instead of actually thinking and talking about the FTX situation, we're going to talk about how some vlogger doubled down? At that point, we should get the fuck off the internet and just read the gossip rags in the magazine racks at the supermarket.
