The Gaia economy shitshow is absolutely crazy. I had quit before it really fell apart but even in like 2006 it was clear the market was unhealthy.
I actually walked away when i got big into Minecraft and mostly switched to reddit because the Minecraft community is truly gargantuan over there. Infact, it's one of Reddit's main pillars of user engagement and the de facto off game community connection. I rewatched that video and the whole time I was going "Reddit is doing the same thing! Reddit is making the same mistakes! HOLY SHIT HISTORY IS REPEATING!!" When the owners of any social media platform stops listening to their user base, or worse, thinks they know what's "better" for them, it's the beginning of the end. It's like all those Celebrities that start resenting their fans or think they (the fans) OWE them (the celebrity).
