What's wrong with Slot Kid? I have even merited some of his posts in the past..
Oh, you mean the merit begging angle of his cited post? I am surely NOT subscribing to merit begging,
but seems to me that Slot Kid might have been merely trying to mimic the recently successful merit begging of ImThour, no?ImThour got 115 merits for
his merit begging post that happened to have been phrased in a "more hip," subtle and catchy kind of way that inspired, incentivized and motivated his target audience (namely generous merit givers to peeps supposedly buying bitcoin... blah blah blah). Just a difference in tone, subtlety, or word choice between the two, no? both present their lil selfies with merit begging conduct, no?
1st time around (ImThours post) it was cute. and obviously worked out merit wise (although more importantly btc wise for ImThour). 2nd time? nah.
This reminded of the next from the 48 Laws of Power:
Scene IX
Alfonso I of Aragon once had a servant who told the king that the night before he had had a dream: Alfonso had given him a gift of weapons, horses, and clothes. Alfonso, a generous, lordly man, decided it would be amusing to make this dream come true, and promptly gave the servant exactly these gifts.
A little while later, the same servant announced to Alfonso that he had had yet another dream, and in this one Alfonso had given him a considerable pile of gold florins. The king smiled and said, “Don’t believe in dreams from now on; they lie.”
The first time this was done you found it funny, were amused by it and went along with it, the second time not so much.
ImThour was lucky to put a limit to how much bitcoin he was going to purchase otherwise he will have a thousands merits already and will have to sell his car or house, the WO crowd is loving but ruthless on their quest to get “moar” bitcoin.
