The fact that Wu Tang made this thing is gross. Fuck that art collector bullshit.

Article said that they made it as a statement about the value drop in art because of digital markets. I hadn’t known that, so I kinda respected it more than before I knew that.

Seems like motivated reasoning to me. Making a statement while leaving most of the people who made you, poor folk who like your music, without the music but you with millions of Pharma Bro Dollars.

It’s kind of funny though. This guy was shitty but like… A 2/10 compared to Elon. Some of the shit he did was funny in an obnoxious trollish way. Fuck me but I wish he was the worst we had to deal with currently.

Back in my Reddit days, as soon as it was posted that he bought this thing, about 1000000000000000 comments on every post of this news article postulated that he would do exactly this.

Like, duh

I mean, everyone has a type. Even Manson had a fanclub.

Still, 🤮.

The value of that album is measurable until he copied it. Once a copy is out then it’s worth significantly less.

Imagine needing to give women someone else’s mix tape to get them to have sex with you.

Tragic and sad.

I find that statement suspect

He gave them digital and copiable files that would still be worth a shit ton of money each time they copied it…

Like, the same circle of people that would know he had it and gives it out. Would know who else would pay for it

I’m honestly surprised they don’t change the valuation of it to zero and hit him for the amount he used it to take off what he owes.

He’s potentially made any copies worthless.

I think the guy that owns it is an nft shill so I hope it’s worthless, and I say that loving Wu Tang

Shkreli claimed on a 2024 podcast that he had “burned the album and sent it to like, 50 different chicks”—and that this had been extremely good for his sex life.

I find that statement suspect.

One of the recipients responded positively, which increased his lifetime sexual encounters by ∞%

Am I out of the loop on why people don’t seem to like this bot? Just annoying/spammy or something else? Been seeing it downvoted a lot lately

The really amazing thing is how many dumb fucks waste their time downvoting it instead of blocking it, lol

“Media Bias Fact Check” is just some right winger in his basement.

The goal of Media Bias Fact Check isn’t to reveal hidden bias and create better-informed news readers. The goal is to shift the Overton Window to the right.
