I’ve taken shits on stretches of beach which no-one has ever shat on.

Doing something no-one else has ever done is a bullshit measurement and does not of itself warrant praise or admiration. That’s labour theory of value commie nonsense.

Having “knowledge” of how to play a video game song on a controller at 200% speed is objectively useless. It does nothing to progress anything for anyone.

Knowledge is only useful if others find it useful and replicate and spread and build upon that knowledge. He could have learned how to build a machine to do this in a fraction of the time which would have given him actually useful skills that could be applied elsewhere - what use is having the skill of being able to play a toy video game controller really fast?

He can’t even play the song on an instrument and actually make the sounds himself with this “skill”.

Actually no, I could find your shit and shit on top of it. Making your claim trivial. The claim I made was based on an extreme use of practice. Which resulted in him accomplishing his goal.

By the way he streamed this feat so he at the very least provided entertainment for paying customers which of course, is not labor theory BS. Next time think about your responses a bit longer.

You asked for something I’ve done which no-one else has - I gave you something.

You have not shat on those spots, only I have.

If you want to dedicate your time to be the second person to shit on those spots to prove I alone am not the only person to have done so then you would just prove my point about engaging in completely futile endeavours.

A thing is not valuable or useful just because someone has done it.

And if you actually knew anything about subjective value as you alluded to, you would see that your subjective idea of value does not apply to everyone. Maybe we have enough musicians and need more nerds who want to watch someone play a video game. (Given Twitch's popularity I guess there's more value flowing there).
