gollark: So... the investing gameplay is *basically* just going to be "listen to us pinging for a meme, wait 4 hours, get money"?
gollark: Also perhaps having to constantly monitor newly posted memes unless someone directly tells you about them, I suppose.
gollark: Hard to say really, but I think just the fact that the system as it stands encourages you to just get giant groups of people to invest in a meme.
gollark: Like I said, this is a *great* example of dealing with one manifestation of a problem instead of actually solving it.
gollark: Well, yes, that is also a problem, since it's such an arbitrary and stupid rule.
