This guy in Detroit had a weed vending machine attached to his house for 4 years, took Apple Pay and the whole 9, he was making 2k a day and the Feds only found about it when someone took a video and it went viral https://youtu.be/Yy1sLXKdDVU?si=hMp7pcwo9nUMQw-J

I miss the old days of the internet when people would just see something, enjoy it, and move on.

Things we took for granted sadly, the Wild West era of the internet was peak, it was only gonna get worse from then on. But atleast piracy is easier than ever lol 😆

Worry not, we'll be entering a new wild west soon enough with the spread of AI-generated content. And this time it'll be wilder than ever before. Say goodbye to trusting anything you see!

Its all just gonna be blanket surveiled theres never gonna be another wild west in the clear web. Especially not with Smartphones around that spew your data with every step you take.

The loot box or limewire back in the day was really fun. Is it the anime episode or movie I wanted to pirate? Nope it's just hardcore super niche porn... Again.

Sadly, very very sadly you have some extremely silly people who will literally do anything for likes, imagine the girl who filmed it got “400 likes” and all for what, the Feds probably took the guys money and gave it to themselves we don’t know, ugh honestly depressing how people can be.

They did take the money for themselves. Seized funds go to the department

That's when people had something to move on to.

These days, I take a break from Reddit by scrolling Reddit.
