raw_avocado's 'Dear podcasters & influencers', absolving recommenders who had pointed audiences at COLDCARD. Part of the recommender-responsibility debate; opinion, attributed to the author. Captured through the site's public GraphQL API: the rendered pages crash the capture tab, and the API answers POST from this host. The query fixes the captured surface to the item's title, text and two levels of comments, each with author and absolute timestamp.

Every check is recorded, including checks that found no text change. A detected edit is therefore bounded between two checks. The publisher's exact save time is not observable from this record. Last checked 7 Aug 2026, 00:05 UTC.

Dunk on NVK today trust me a day will come when someone will dunk on you! Way of the universe. We all make mistakes some are more graceful about it than others. \n\nCoinkite still makes cool products some I will continue to use like the block clock and sat cards. Others I was excited about (Arca box) I may fade now. But when when podcasters shill products we still have to take responsibility for using them for better or for worse.",

Sponsored content creates bad incentives. Information wants to be free (including free of strings-attached and sponsors to keep happy).\n\nShould influencers feel bad for being paid to shill FTX? \n\nProducts with paid adverts are inherently inferior. Every bit they spend on ads, could have been spent making the product better/cheaper.\n\nYou can grow your audience from free content and sell them YOUR OWN PRODUCT! That fixes the incentives.\n\nIf you don't have a product, just ask for donations. If you must take sponsors, your content is rooted in marketing, not truth/education.\n\nShoutout to all the pods who don't have sponsors. They're the real ones. Even if they recomended ColdCard out of their personal belief. It's better than being paid to do so.",

How to check this yourself

The excerpts and plain unified diffs above show the text this project held and how it changed. To verify a quotation, compare it against the page itself or against the Internet Archive's copies, which are independent of this project.

Complete captures are held offline rather than mirrored here, so this page shows diffs and excerpts. If a quotation is ever disputed, the full copy can be produced. Ask.
