Using words like “Scam Altman” instantly reduces credibility of the author in my eyes. If you want to convince people of something, perhaps it’s better not to use childish methods.

No disrespect, just sharing my thoughts. I see “Elmo Musk” and “Orange Man” etc., and I immediately think this is not worth reading (regardless of my opinion of those persons).

How sad for you. Whenever I hear people proudly announcing how arbitrarily and illogically and performatively they decide what's worth reading, I don't think what you write is worth reading either.

I'm much better off reading diverse opinions and deciding what to believe based on what they actually say, instead of imposing petty rules and self-censoring what I read, and self-cultivating ignorance.

You'd be much better off, mentally healthier, and subjected to less propaganda if instead you ignored what "Scam Altman" and "Elmo Musk" and "Orange Man" write instead of what people who criticize them write, since they have such asymmetrically bigger platforms and pro-oligarchy biases than their critics, and they also regularly call people childish names themselves.

TL;DR: you're choosing to ignore the wrong people.

He 100% deserves his title for Loopt alone. I don't have any credibility to being with, this is an anonymous wantrepreneur shitposting forum not the US congress. I know people lurking here love these sociopaths but come on...
