Cmd+f, "vim", Cmd+w

Update: jokes aside, this is a great read. Adding vim keybindings would violate the principles of this project.

Yet YouTube will shut down entire channels if there's a whiff of copyright infringement.

> You may be surprised to learn that cattle herd size has remained relatively stable over time.

Absolutely surprised. Do you have science to back up this claim? ... That goes back more more than a couple decades?

DRM isn't a good analogy, because no one is prohibited from experiencing most NFTs. You can't legally watch a DRM protected movie or listen to a DRM protected audio file if you didn't buy the privilege. But you can look at NFT GIFs, JPGs, movies all you want without paying a penny.

Though the DRM analogy may work in applications that interact with NFTs. For example, games with unique items. The application would limit the full experience of a tokenized object to the owner alone. For example, only n00b5lay3r may equip the Golden Sword of Evisceration, because it's in their wallet.

NFTs remain fully accessible to everyone, unlike DRM assets and invite-only apps. The difference is that a human can pull out their wallet and prove that they have a high level of status linked to the NFT. This is even better than famous paintings, baseball cards, or Cabbage Patch kids because everyone can have the exact same experience with the thing as the "owner. Though, without the dizzying ego high.

I'm hooked already.

This is the first thing I thought about when I saw the Sassy Michael Cain. This is the only thing I remember from The Trip.

I agree with this "innovation is dead" sentiment. Apple used to be pioneers and futurists. Now they focus on retaining their well-defined market. This almost makes sense, except they have such a tremendous amount of cash they can afford to take risks.
