Do you have a habit of insulting people that provide you something you didn't know?

That's exactly what I'm saying. Part of the reason why "tickets disappear" at the moment there are available for sale is because the people related to the artist or venue "buy" the portion of tickets before it even start to resale them in 2nd market for what closer to their real market value.

It's not uncommon that popular artist don't get a cut of the ticket, only a flat fee... that is higher than a total sell value of the tickets. Because other people in the distribution funnel would take their loses back during the resale phase.

But let's assume it's not a case. Just for a kick. You still have an artist that sell the tickets below their market value... and no way to close the gap. How sustainable do you think it is?

With the exception of YouTube and maybe android, all seems to have a suitable alternative.

This is the part that resonated with me the most as the casual user. The interface is, so confusing that the differences between various forms of chats seems deliberately unclear. And all that's "useful" is opt-in. And Groups - most used in corporate or project setting, can't be encrypted at all? That's... peculiar.

Again, thanks for the eye-opener.

Any advice for people that used it in the past? After reading the article, my understanding is that what was sent in "private chat" was in fact encrypted (for the most part) and can be considered secured (to the degree - something is off and, maybe we didn't find out yet, how the encryption is compromised). But it would wise to treat all other conversations as something that is compromised. Is this a fair summary?

That is... a very good point. Not only in the environmental niche, we desperately crave more "it may be legal, but it needs to be stopped" stories. It would actually make more sense narratively. Gave them the actual reason to vigilante.

Also, Also super heros are by defintion rectionary - it's a whole thing, there is a book about it. So you may hava a point.

What his primary characteristic in your mind?

I agree how the filed is overall. He's a very small represnetiarion. But I stand by that he's a valid one.

That's what I heard, but, again, it's all confusing to me as well :)

Sounds like a glass that's half-full to me.
