The closest I know is the BlockTube expansion, which you can set up to block all videos with the keywords you put into it (and optionally all videos of certain lengths, auto playlists, etc) - and nuking videos or channels is added to the context menu, and will automatically also "not interested" them additionally. It's a godsend.

yeah, if there's anything i hate about video games it's the fact that they don't meticulously recapitulate the systemic inequalities caused by capitalist rentseeking in the real world

like the average player, they want to be a wizard in a high fantasy world or like a space marine in a science fiction setting and they want that because they're seeking to become a tiny cog in a corporate machine making money for some faceless schmuck who owns everything. loving nailed it, blockchain ghouls. that is absolutely what everyone wants

not that anyone should aim to recreate this experience, but the key missing detail is that the rentseeking bullshit in successful mmos came after the game was established as something popular and attractive enough that people placed real value on virtual belongings

apparently nobody at fmeta thought "ok after we've presold all the land and billboards to corporations, what makes this virtual world more appealing than a television commercial"

The thing is, it won't actually affect McDonald's. 99.99% of people will never hear about this or even know what an NFT is. It's more like someone carved a magic slur on the back side of one of their trays.

it won't, but the marketing department probably won't do another nft promo. and the marketing departments of other companies might think twice about it

Also McDonalds bought the magic letters themselves and told everyone to look forward to the exciting unveiling.

Almost none of these people actually need money. They're just too weak to turn down blatant money grabs. I guess it's to be expected when people are dropping 5 figures to own the rights to a GIF.
