"Gaming and crypto will save the world" shithead gets rich off crypto.
but the only reason anyone bought her NFTs is because she's famous... from making music. all this illustrates is that NFTs, like anything crypto related, is just yet another scheme to make the rich even richer.
but ignorant kids will see articles like this and think, if I want to be a successful artist I should make NFTs, it worked for Grimes! but of course they will only lose money because they're not famous and nobody cares about them. and that's what the crypto ghouls need to sustain their scam, fresh victims to swindle.
I think she's far more famous at this point for her proximity to Elon Musk. I love her music, don't get me wrong, but she wasn't playing on daytime radio or anything.

she's such a stupid asshole it's unreal
I hope she keeps giving interviews. she's been really useful in exposing the idiocy of the techno-utopian ideology

Good lord is that interview an insight into the dumbest version of narcism
Claire Boucher is open sourcing her musical persona to let people create their own version of Grimes with AI.
I WONDER WHERE THAT WILL IMMEDIATELY BE GOING, PROBABLY INTENTIONALLY, FOR A QUICK BUCK FROM THIRSTY BAZINGAS 
the only reason it was ever possible to make that much money was because it "got polluted fast" lol. does she think people forked over the dubloons because they thought the monkeys looked cute?
Who tf even is she? I never heard of her til she married the Muskrat.
Niche electronic musician who had a few hits and parroted a lot of leftist stuff. She even had "anti-imperialist" in her Twitter bio for the longest time.
As someone who listened to a lot of small electronic music in 2010 I can't express how surreal it is that Grimes of all people is this famous now, and not even for her music
Maybe cuz her music is bad??
Is it? I mean it's niche but it's not technically incompetent or anything. I used to listen to her music all the time before knowing anything about her personality. She's pretty good at drawing cool synth noises out of a Roland Jupiter.
Most people are pushed away by her voice. She does this breathy almost falsetto lispy thing that's kind of annoying.
