    I know it's a redundant statement but they became a billionaire AND became alt-right, especially in regards to their opinions towards the LGBTQ+ community. Microsoft actually scrubbed their name off of everything because of it.

    It's really sad to me because I used to really look up to them as a Minecraft obsessed teenager trying to learn to program

    I remember being told that I'd become more conservative when I get out of school and start making money.

    Turns out that's just what shitty people do.

    That's what rich people want to make normal people think.

    I think it's a disease a bit like addiction. Do heroin once and you will likely feel pretty good. Do molly a couple times a year and it will probably be enjoyable. Do either all day every day and you will be fucking miserable, but still paranoid about losing your supply. Money is pretty similar. If you look at any of the ultra rich, they are visibly immiserated and paranoid.
