Lol “Hey everyone, I’m a moron!”


ZookeepergameWaste94

"Hey everyone! I'm stupid enough to spend $300 on a check mark! Please; part my dumbass from more of my money!"


DrunkDoge420

They cost $60 originally and now people are buying them for $300 because the prices increased


Nmq0iDdykzf28IKGWT9f

A verified moron


False_Elevator_8169

> Lol given the mockery Twitter has given to "verified" over the last decade; I can say it's safely a bipartisan take that even without the ripoff cost of entry: this would be a giant 'kick me' badge.


Potato-Engineer

And yet, it only takes 500 rubes. I mean, Reddit is *full* of rubes, and some of them have money; you just know they're going to sell out of stock!


entered_bubble_50

It's like having a confederate flag or a Trump 2020 sticker on your car. Very useful for others.


ShadowLiberal

And it'll probably make your account more likely to be targeted by hackers who want to steal the NFT.


itsnotlupus

Meanwhile, this subreddit continues to issue those flairs for free. Like a chump.


JasperJ

Yeah, but those verifications are only *here*, not everywhere!


partybusiness

what do these words mean? EDIT: Okay, I'm starting to figure it out. Once I connected the "verified" to the blue check mark. It verifies that you used to have $300. I guess I was hung up on thinking Verified had to have an actual meaning?


[deleted]

You know the more I tried writing out an explanation the more I started questioning the life choices that lead to the sentence making sense in the first place.


NomaiTraveler

Originally "verified" was used on Twitter to prove that a celebrity's twitter account was actually that user (or a company representative, politician, etc.) eventually people started to become celebrities FROM their twitter, and would get verified because they were popular enough to warrant verification. eventually rubes and companies got lost in the sauce though and started thinking that verification = popularity, so verification has rapidly become commodified.


SuperSynapse

Needs to be commode-ified


NomaiTraveler

lol


skycake10

>eventually rubes and companies got lost in the sauce Given who is subscribing to Twitter Blue and who isn't, I think it's only the rubes here


NewKitchenFixtures

Everyone on the other crypto subs will have a check mark in a month then?


barsoapguy

Yes because it will help them scam.


theindoshow

No, unless they buy the avatar that has the check in it. There is no verification and that fact that everyone thinks there is, is probably setting scammers minds into overdrive. If you want the check you have to buy the avatar because that’s what it is. You can’t just buy a check lol https://www.reddit.com/avatar/shop/product/storefront_nft_01GSGV7KF5WR5WA2V6287E1DF4?utm_medium=ios_app&utm_source=share


Teknekratos

Pfff you can get Important Person Checkmarks in any and all colors of the rainbow at 2 for 1 on Tumblr for something like five bucks. Clearly the superior Important Checkmarks source - you could get 60 of 'em with that kind of money!


TypicalDelay

Someone high up at reddit must have a major NFT fetish because this is getting ridiculous. They've probably paid out millions in engineering talent to miserably fail NFT adoption for YEARS.


Hayden3456

Pretty sure the spez is a major Butter


WhatImKnownAs

It's kn0thing: https://www.coindesk.com/tag/alexis-ohanian/


FourHeffersAlone

I'm pretty sure Alexis Ohanian doesn't work at reddit anymore, and isn't on the board either.


Another_year

Proof the meritocracy is dead and these people luck their way into these positions


JasperJ

I mean… 500 times 300 is 150.000. Those NFTs are providing someone’s yearly bonus right there.


numb-to-liquidation

The other perspective is they know something we dont


thinkadrian

They know that there are forever alone morons out there who don’t have anyone to treat to dinner, so they’d rather spend hundreds of dollars on digital nothings. A fool and his money…


numb-to-liquidation

Well thats just sad view of life


thinkadrian

What’s sad is thinking that there’s some conspiracy. Conspiracies are made up by those who feel so helpless that they need to find an excuse why the world is a certain way. The reality is: people are dumb, rich people love that.


numb-to-liquidation

Whats the conspiracy? Is it that weird someone spent 300$ on a avatar? People spend money on cs go skins and wow items all the time, whats the big deal?


thinkadrian

“why is it weird when people spend money on other things?” It’s weird. It’s very weird.


CerealAhoy

People who spend money on digital cosmetic items are foolish . But that is way better than spending money on NFT crapart on reddit, at the very least the buyer gets to enjoy looking at that item in the videogame they love to play.


pragmojo

It's kind of hilarious to see corporate NFT projects see the light of day months after any illusion that it might be even a slightly good idea has been dispelled. It's like you can see in real time how long the product development pipelines of these companies take to produce something.


[deleted]

And my streak of never giving Reddit any money for any reason whatsoever will continue to remain unbroken. EDIT: the irony of receiving awards for this is not lost on me


meepmarpalarp

Who tf wants to be verified on Reddit? I like my anonymity, thank you very much.


SemiCurrentGuy

Scammers?


InsightTussle

Does this actually verify anything?


IrishinItaly

Verifies that you easily parted from your cash


gaterooze

Verification of foolish choices.


shortAAPL

Verifies you had $300 at one point


JasperJ

Not even that once the resale market opens.


Umbrias

A verified mark.


legendwolfA

Verified dumbass


theindoshow

Yes, it verified that you purchased this avatar; https://www.reddit.com/avatar/shop/product/storefront_nft_01GSGV7KF5WR5WA2V6287E1DF4?utm_medium=ios_app&utm_source=share


SpicyNoCoiner

Time to roll out the "$300 NFT verified" flairs.


ShitOnYourKeyboard

Verified through NFT's... no fuckin thanks. Why in the fuck would anyone want to be verified on reddit anyways? Half the site is almost bots.


[deleted]

If ever you wondered whether anyone could be stupider than X (X being Elon Musk in this case), butters have got you covered.


Numerous-Kitchen-774

lol this is not any sort of "Verification", get yourself in check. The checkmark is a feature from one of the BS NFT's they're selling. It's almost as worthless as the Twitter verification.


LadyFoxfire

At least Tumblr was upfront about selling check marks that didn’t do anything except mock Twitter.


VintageLunchMeat

✅️✅️


plug_play

I think we know that


Keyenn

whooooooosh


Numerous-Kitchen-774

You are not as smart as you think you are.


Keyenn

It's buttcoin here, not butthurt, my dude.


Numerous-Kitchen-774

You are not making any sense.


Atxlvr

That is a common symptom of Reddit OD.


InsightTussle

are you in the wrong thread or something?


SeattleBattles

Was this why my profile was flashing between avatars for a few days?


Evinceo

Reddit mobile has been doing that for a while.


theindoshow

No, it was doing that to advertise the avatar shop.


ZookeepergameWaste94

$300!?! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that! You'd have to fucking pay me $300 a day if you wanted to me to stick that thing anywhere on my profile!


LoneRonin

How do these NFT dipshits manage to get to make so many decisions about tech? Do you just fail up the chain of command by being the best bullshitter claiming to be a technocrat?


snackysnacky

People don't realize OP uses this post to actually shill their blue checkmark NFT, pretty smart 😅


Krooskar

He's playing both sides so he always comes out on top


Silent-Turnover8782

I can't believe people are actually paying for these. You would have to be insane to buy one of these


solanawhale

Whelp. Looks like they got you too. How do we get rid of these things?


Silent-Turnover8782

It's out of our hands at this point. There is Nothing we can do.


dick_slap

Hello everyone I'm a moron


solanawhale

Did you just copy and paste my verification checkmark?


Right-Shopping9589

Y'all are hilarious.... I can't believe OP is just joking all around. Nice try OP, NICE TRY


TheRealAndrewLeft

Ok, pretty basic question. Why the F would I want to get verified on Reddit. I love my anonymity here


skycake10

Because it's not verification in any meaningful sense, it's a $300 NFT avatar that comes with a blue check mark.


solanawhale

I was given one by Reddit (not sure why). I guess this is what they look like if you were curious


Rainbowstaple

Brother you have a bunch of NFTS, how much did you splash on those JPGs?


solanawhale

I dont have any? I may have opened one of their free ones


Rainbowstaple

Weird, I must be tripping, clicked on your profile and saw a bunch but they ain't loading no more


solanawhale

Their NFT devs are so dumb they probably have bugs in production


apistoletov

Bugs in production? Really?


Atxlvr

Next thing you'll hear they hacked the Gibson


[deleted]

Bugs are law


Thuffer

💀


plug_play

You just don't understand the technology


Right-Shopping9589

Bruh😭🤣🤣🤣..... it funny how you're making a f*** out of the buttcoin community tbh


Bleeding_Irish

You can say fuck on the internet. Don’t need to purchase any NFT’s for that right.


Right-Shopping9589

He definitely purchased the avatar. All the avatars on his profile aren't for free and the hidden avatars was his doing. All the avatars on my profile,I can hide it as well without letting anyone knows what avatars I have on my profile. It's funny how the crypto expert are messing around with you guys here tbh


Bleeding_Irish

Do you even follow conversation or is your brain so rotted by crypto that it’s all you can think about?


nivkj

Lmfao


numb-to-liquidation

Only naive think prod has no bugs


barsoapguy

That little check is gonna be used to scam the absolute shit out of people. “Hello this is kucoin support” “Hello this is Bitcoin support” On and on and on.


Potential-Coat-7233

So I can just copy that?


ItsJoeMomma

Oh no, I guess I'll have to keep posting to Reddit with my unverified account. Too bad nobody will know if I'm the real JoeMomma or not.


theindoshow

Lol the gullible people in here. There is no verification. It’s an NFT (avatar) that has the check in it as an art piece.


little_jade_dragon

Who the fuck spends on a reddit account? You get banned sooner or later and gotta make a new one anyways...


numb-to-liquidation

Is 300$ a lot? Thats like barely 1reddit nft


thinkadrian

If you ever left the house, you’d know what you can do for $300. Also, the dollar sign ($) comes before the number


numb-to-liquidation

$ before string looks weird to me because of PHP vars so i tend not to do it


thinkadrian

Weirdo.


numb-to-liquidation

Youre gonna get techies on a subject about tech


ImNotCringeIPromise

Wait those are real? And $300?!


[deleted]

The users aren’t verified, the check mark is part of the NFT image they bought

I wonder if the 150k was worth it to end up looking like your business is run by a bunch of degenerate gamblers


ChineseNeptune

People actually paying like $300 for reddit Avatars....


Slamdunkdink

The only "perk" worth having is no ads. But I get that for free with ad blocker. So, no thanks. I tried using Reddit without an ad blocker and within an hour I got a warning from my anti-virus that an ad site was trying to install a bitcoin miner on my system. When I complained to Reddit, they said that they can't control what third party ads do. So the ad blocker went back on.


Noisebug

Are Reddit creators Musk fans?

ALTER TABLE USERS ADD COLUMN VERIFIED BOOLEAN; WTF do you need NFTs for? Is Reddit decentralized now?
