#at the rotting carcass of whatever seems like it could produce the smallest of value

[topnotchquark]

A lot of din about the newly announced team names being so shit and so overtly commercialized in a garish way but it's like. It's just the kind of world we live in now. Current systems of movement of money and wealth that have been corrupted for years are just becoming glaringly obvious to the naked eye. It's unfortunately the deal with the whole world but also specifically with motorsports. When you get your 15 minutes of fame in this desperate attention economy, which F1 is currently enjoying, then whichever grift can afford to throw money will come and show up and pick at your flesh. All this aggressive commercialization that will make the rich richer while actual workers that hold up the sport will look at even shittier pay. Grift businesses such as a betting platform will enjoy some of that F1 fame while moving more money around random channels to funnel even more wealth upwards. While the sport gets shittier and contributes to a worsening planet.

#I'm ranting it's not coherent #but this profit motive built into this world that is run by categorically stupid people just leads to spiritual vultures descending to peck #at the rotting carcass of whatever seems like it could produce the smallest of value #even if it makes the world shittier #I'm in a mood #being in my room all day makes me a worse person tbh #f1 #formula 1
