Yea, so Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, which owns Magic The Gathering. One day, a guy that opens packs on camera got accidentally sent a pack from a set that hadn’t been released yet.
I forget the exact details, but WotC ended up sending some thugs to this guys house to retrieve the merchandise via intimidation, and the company those thugs worked for was related to the Pinkertons from your high school civics textbook. (Like, they had acquired them in a merger or something.)
Worth noting by the way that instagram is owned by Meta - the very company the post is calling out.
I think there are much more substantial reasons at play here than just “not liking it,” and I think you knew that before you posted. :P
Social media is a double edged sword. It connects but also isolates… informs but also decieves. Entertains, but also cripples.
It’s crazy to think that things were so different even just 15 years ago. Maybe one day we can once again have a wholly positive relationship with this technology. But first, I think, we have to break the addiction.
In other words, I think this is a good start.
