I think it's a really cool perk to boost adoption. One thing I've seen though is that you get no reward per assist.
In this game 1/5 characters are always a support which means they kill no minions and let teammates get all the kills so that the damage dealers do more damage.
So if you choose to go support you will get scores like 0 kills 6 deaths 30 assists with 5 minion kills in 50 minute games. While that's a pretty good score, this current reward system doesn't recognize it.
It's kind of embarrassing that a supposedly world beating phenomenon is being squabbled over like WoW raid gone wrong. I'm looking to the day where they're an irrelevance.
You mean to say they're actually relevant now?
The idea that Bitcoin will cause a global economic collapse or that it will seize the power from the mostly unnamed "corrupt elites" is laughable.
A digital currency won't seize the means of production. It has zero chance of changing military hierarchies. A digital currency by itself is incapable of "totally changing the world."
Any advance of cryptocurrencies to seize large %'s of global markets will require old money to get on-board.... more or less rendering the anti-establishment rhetoric impotent.

+1 to post count? I don't see how that fits in with any of my grievances towards the cultural effects of ad revenue.
Cultural effect of ad revenue? Are somehow indicating that someone collecting ad revenue from google will degrade their culture or become an unproductive citizen in their town simply because they earn income from online ads?
Cultural degradation isn't inherent in the acceptance of ad revenue. It opens the avenue though for clickbait spam hell.
I would say yes, that the internet in general has fostered an environment where people care less about their town. It's not absolute, but it is certainly there. When you acknowledge this level of internet traffic didn't exist thirty years ago it's a point of fact that these current users would be occupying their time some other way if the internet hadn't developed as it has.
I have expressed concerns for videos blatantly misrepresenting the truth to mislead viewers and create a sense of paranoia and fear. This has become an entire category unto itself.

Re: PotCoin | GROW WITH US | CRITICAL WALLET UPDATE - POSv |
Every douchebag with an iphone color wants to be the next pewdiepie and have a giant corporation pay them for buying viewbots.
All the people watching that garbage are wasting their life en mass.
Maybe a virtual currency forum isn't the best place to garner support for that sentiment....
What's really, really crazy is that companies actually pay Google (and therefore site owners) for page views. How many pages have you looked at and ignored every single ad? Thousands I'm sure. It's a complete waste of money and a largely ineffective way to advertise.
Everyone's looking for passive income...do you blame the guy who pays for the service (the company advertising), the guy providing an infrastructure for that service (Google), or the guy who rents out his website real estate for the ads?
I have an opinion, but I'd prefer to know yours.
I don't blame any of them in particular, I understand why people do it. At the same time, I think it's stupid because it's incentivizing people to produce garbage content in mass. There are some really great people on youtube but there are also some really terrible people. Google doesn't give a flying fuck if the content should be posted, just that it is and unique IPS click it.
For example, people who have channels where all they do is break new phones. Okay, I get it, but there are thousands of them being paid to waste time and resources. Another example, conspiracy theories which have no base in reality but prey on schizophrenics and the lot. I'd like to see some of these lone shooters viewing history, wouldn't you?

Yeah, open up a multipool and steal the funds. It's really the best ROI.
