Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 16:00:14 Adam Conover got famous for promoting critical thinking in his show βAdam Ruins Everything.β Now heβs getting paid to promote an orb that scans your eyeball in exchange for crypto currency, which was trained on poor villagers in Africa and Southeast Asia. Yes, really. https://skepchick.org/2025/05/adam-conover-ruins-his-own-reputation/ |

Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 16:08:11 @rebeccawatson I've been watching some of his more recent stuff, and this is a sad, sad heel turn for Conover. SIGH. I suppose everyone has their price. |

Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 16:16:11 It's like selling body parts. |
Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 16:21:01 @rebeccawatson Adam truly is ruining everything. |
Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 16:30:25 @rebeccawatson Kind of fits some of the people in the White House Crew. Corruption has its supporters. |
Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 16:35:04 @rebeccawatson it's weird because he still makes debunking videos (just not under "adam ruins everything") simultaneously |
Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 16:36:52 @rebeccawatson wow that sucks |
Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 16:45:52 @rebeccawatson Oooff, god damn it Adam. |

Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 16:57:29 @rebeccawatson Iβm honestly surprised by this. :/ |
Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 17:06:29 @rebeccawatson what?! Rich out of touch Hollywood neolib who got famous pandering (and who is still pandering) did what all neolibs do best?! Gotta afford them gold chains and coifed hair somehow. To people saying this is a heel turn: Bill Gates and Elon Musk both think they're saving the world. They're both equally bad. Mr. Conover probably thinks he's balancing out his lifestyle with his message. He ain't and has never. Just because I fell for the pandering a decade ago doesn't mean this is a heel turn. Rich neolibs are gonna rich neolib. We're all susceptible to pandering and propaganda |

Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 17:20:07 @rebeccawatson looks like he posted the same video to this platform a few months ago and it didn't get any attention. Weird. We're famously pro crypto here. |
Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 17:40:42 @rebeccawatson Huh! I thought this Orb project had evaporated by know! |
Föderation EN Di 13.05.2025 19:02:21 @stux @rebeccawatson no Altman gonna ride grifts till the end. |
