    Oh look, a clarification:

    It didn’t even occur to me that anyone would read the tweet as being about “25% more general market value” rather than “25% more value to me personally”. Who thinks like that??!?

    Yud is just a uwu neuro-atypical smol bean who is ignorant of generations of cultural context about people rating each other and cannot be blamed for people reading his words in the wrong way instead of the correct, equally repellent way.

        I think in this case, market value might have actually been better, in that at least it’s an objective value of something specific instead of reducing your whole relationship with another human being to a fucking variable.
