The founders hope that the game like nature of the platform will discourage those companies from sending out seasin dosist letters, cause they didn't get permission. You can't trade on other people's likenesses and their images. That's illegal, especialy when they're celebrities. When people do devious stuff like that, like bik clout was doing all this, like smarmy, devious, lying kind of stuff. It makes no sense. And it's about people moving from one station in life to another.

In a short news segment, Jason talks about a company that tried to sell "fantasy startup investing" NFTs and why they had to pivot (1:44). Jason gives a brief tribute to Steve Jobs (15:48).
