      I’m not strawmanning, the OPs screenshot mentions specifically that they were criticizing him for buying NFTs and not having a job

        Honestly, I saw video game coins and though it was some ingame currency. Also, these types might overhear you talking about crypto/ntf and just assume you’ve bought into it.

        Regardless, they aren’t making these jokes for anyone’s benefit but their own. Remove the ntf thing, and this greentext is just anxiety inducing for a lot of introverts.

          I agree. I feel they’re venting their frustration with a position that anon put them in.

            These people smile when they say these things. They’re just happy someone has it worse off then them. It’s why people watch trash reality tv.
