If only you could profit from it

Those up arrows are worth more than gold

Once I made an elaborate anti-AI post that looks like pro-AI one if you fail to read it; got heavily downvoted, ignored and banned. That was worth more than any amount of up arrows. Pure bliss.

You expected people to read? On the internet?

Yeah, that's a mistake.

2 paragraph comment?! TL;DR?

Made a comment saying a meme is probably AI slop. Got heavily downvoted because it was a 'known' meme template, even had some guys calling me a 'whiteknight' and 'AI paranoid'. Edited the post and told people to look at the woman's face in the meme, it was all deformed. Downvotes became upvotes, upvotes became downvotes, felt better than sex.

Good on you. Silly humans.

Link or didn't happen

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Haha ah blind absolutism at its finest

Can I pay people in upvotes from Lemmy?

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

You can pay them with all the pride, dignity and false confidence you’ve generated from all those upty dupties

[–] morto@piefed.social 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You give me a great idea! I will create a lemmy instance with ai-powered upvotes running in a blockchain so that people can profit from it /s

I think you should integrate NFTs in there for more profit potential

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

NFC is cool.

NFT might fit better in the conversation, but if you actually meant NFC, I would be curious of your objections to it.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

Ah you’re right, I meant NFT. The monkey avatars somebody paid thousands for

If you could profit from it, Lemmy would be a hell hole in an instant. I'm happy that "karma" doesn't even really matter here at all.
