I made it through the first speaker singing the praises of how wonderful Facebook is. I made it through him encouraging people to Always Be Promoting on their smartphones, even while having a conversation with your partner-- that was a real example. But when he started talking about "giving your customers that dopamine" burst, I got huffy and looked for a nice quiet place I could play Slay The Spire. >_<

Also, everybody here is super-young and it's super-depressing.

@zebratron2084 wow. That would do me in. And appropriate to the rest of the discussion, I tend to think of Patreon users as younger and artists, so it’s kinda gross to think of someone pulling that always promote stuff on kids who would rather be drawing than flogging their stuff. Ew ew ew.
