A retweet of a Twitter conversation, for context.

"You don't have to make things work that way, but you get more users."

The use of "users" reveals that these ghouls are only interested in profit and engagement. The nebulous ideas of how their JPG receipts could improve video games is just an excuse to placate actual players.

"Eventually most will have to."

Also they're a cult.
Like this is the same bull-headed single-mindedness behind the techno-religious that think we're in a simulation - the deification of technology.

To be more specific: there's a certain inevitability that I feel from both kinds of people. When it comes to "we live in a simulation" the justification is "there would be more simulated universes than real ones, therefore it's more likely we live in a simulation".
By what metric? Where are you getting the idea there's more simulations? By your own logic?

And yet it's used in their worldview without doubt, passionately, like a spiritual faith. That same vibe comes from those pushing crypto as a future.
