Give them sats and circuses and they will never revolt….
“The partnership with Bitrefill, Wallet of Satoshi and IBEX will allow fans to “Steal Sats” by scanning a QR code displayed on the game stream or on the team's social media channels when a player makes an impressive play. Fans will receive their reward instantly after scanning the code with a Lightning-enabled wallet, introducing a novel fan interaction system that brings further excitement to thrilling moments in games.”

Before seemingly everyone here started using WoS, because, who needs self custody, what could possibly go wrong with incentivizing consolidation of control and power again, has no one ever taken a look at its UI and thought: Wait, this looks shoddier than 90s shareware, or a geocities webpage, and no one with an ounce of self respect or self awareness could ever publish something like that, and put their name to it?
The plain, even enthusiastic, acceptance of the model and design behind WoS among most notable users here makes me feel like having entered opposite world every time.
