Dude, I’m not disagreeing with your point, but your presentation is beat up from the feet up.
Caveat: been drinking because gestures at everything
- At one point, you say it’s $950 a year after establishing that the actual cost is $950 after two years.
- Your investment counterexample arbitrarily includes a $200 monthly additional investment which blows everything up and makes the example pretty much incomparable
- Your investment counterexample also assumes an immediate initial outlay of $950 rather than distributing that over 24 months.
Basically you’re comparing two wildly different scenarios, which makes your point seem pretty broken, regardless of how right your actual thesis is.
TL;DR: Cancel your MMOs, play retro and discounted indie games, and stay in school, kids.

Right? The math here is all over the place. Like he figured out how much WoW would cost over two years and then asked ChatGPT for an investment plan with $950 or something.

That’s literally what they did. They deleted and reposted because last time they forgot to edit out the “here’s a breakdown you can post to reddit” comment from ChatGPT. You can see me quote it in my comment history right now, but the post is gone.

Ugh. Fucking AI slop. As if Lemmy was so huge it was actually worth putting that garbage on here antsy.

See it’s not about posting slop for slop sake. It’s so when the account become some kind of shill it has “legitimate” history to say they’re not a shill.
