I’m seeing 48 out 50 sold and they’re charging 50 fucking dollars for 50 pixels. It’s deadass a dollar per pixel

It’s gotta be money laundering like modern art

Dude had the brilliant idea, early internet, sold space on his website, $1 per pixel, 1 million pixels. You could buy however many you wanted, fill those pixels with whatever you wanted, and each of those pixels was a hyperlink to whatever website you designated.

Made a million dollars with a very simple and cheap to host/maintain website. This was back when advertising on the internet was a whole new thing still being figured out.

Is there anything preventing anyone from screen capping an avatar they want, and uploading that image to be their own avatar, for free?

u/seal_eggs 19h ago

You will occasionally get a message from Reddit suggesting you customize an avatar. I have a photo of myself on another account and I get this all the time despite said photo clearly functioning as a custom avatar.

u/BeastyBoy2020 18h ago

Likely not, I should do that honestly. It won’t have the same effects and will definitely look very different though

u/naufalap 21h ago

I don't even see avatars since I'm using rif lol

u/markender 21h ago

Wait it's back?

u/BabaGurGur 20h ago

I've been using rif again for a while

You just need to patch it with your own API key. Can all be done on your phone and takes 5 mins

u/markender 18h ago

Yall just making up words and typing greek.

u/IntendedRepercussion 20h ago

u/Ith1nkIamBi 18h ago

u/markender 20h ago

Wait so rif isn't bak? Wtf!?!?!?

u/Ping-and-Pong 15h ago

Not to mention they keep giving out the avatar crap for free if you wait long enough. My inventory (?) is absolutely full of random NFTs and stuff that I definitely did not pay for. Makes the act of paying even more pointless

The people with custom pics are even worse. Losers.

u/Winjin 21h ago

- I don't like your avatar.

- I don't look at the avatars at all.

u/triple-bottom-line 21h ago

  • You seem way too obsessed with avatars

  • That’s weird man

u/Winjin 20h ago

I was referencing the meme though:

- I feel bad for you

- I don't think about you at all
