And when I look at the market caps these zero effort things achieve, I don't know what to say.

Maybe what you should say -- or what you should accept -- is that people value different stuff than you, and you should get used to that because if you're really a libertarian, and you get what you claim to want, you'll have more of this weird bullshit to deal with, not less.

I agree. People should be free to be morons, and you're free to call them out.

Yes, I acknowledge this cognitive dissonance in me. Hence why I am confused about my own feelings towards it. I guess the resolution is that in a world that is like that, I will eventually be affected by this madness (e.g. these people vote in my country, etc.). And once I am affected, I start to care. They lose their shirts in these shit coin games and later vote for tax hikes to take my savings. Unfortunately, we live in a zero responsibility world where being diligent always puts a target on you.
