    I’m guessing they didn’t hire an event lighting company and did it themselves. No one I know in the industry would do that.

    Wtf is a boerd ape NFT event? I know the bored ape images and I know what an event is… But wtf? Are people supposed to go somewhere to look at those ugly images? People should know they can enjoy this meaningless garbage online. For free.

      One of the perks of owning these NFTs was that you could attend exclusive events. What those events were going to be about was anyone’s guess. Eye burn, apparently.

        It’s kind of like when you have Reddit gold and get access to the super exclusive private r/lounge subreddit… That has no actual purpose and nobody bothers posting in it because what are you even supposed to do there?

          Laugh about the non guilded peasants. Or at least that is what I saw on the few times I was guilded.

      Oh thanks I get it know. Buying NFTs is like buying tickets to a concert. What if the events isn’t anywhere near me? Still a very stupid concept.

        No, but I barely recall what bored ape is or how it is culturally relevant…which is why I thought of it

          how it is culturally relevant

          That’s the neat part: it isn’t.

              What is with all the “not my problem” replies all of a sudden. This is a sad troll effort.

                what do you mean? I haven’t seen one myself yet. It’s just a common expression.

                I don’t think that comment is trolling, just a bit low effort post. But that’s nothing rare in Lemmy/Reddit.

                  I have received something like 5 different replies to separate replies of my own, from new accounts with only one comment, all of which end with “not my problem.” It’s almost like a bot keyed off that phrase from my reply in a privacy community post, or there are some butthurt people with too much time on their hands.

    It was a stupid decision to attend a party created by the creators of a stupidly overpriced asset.

      asset

      You mispelled “obvious scam”

      To be fair, the keys are right next to each other.

    It’s unfortunate that people were injured but fuck, I’m still scarred just by seeing these awful things. At least if they were going to do a scam art investment scheme they could have made the art not hideous.

    So the financial harm wasn’t obvious enough for the Bored Apes? The creators wanted to be sure everyone knew it was made to hurt them directly but burning their retinas.

      This is probably the bag holders trying desperately to keep the apes relevant in hopes they can pump up the price again and offload.

    For a moment I thought the title refers to the attendees as bored apes.
