I've been seeing a lot, and especially on Youtube, quite a few 20-somethings speaking of or referencing Notch a.k.a. Markus Perrson (original Minecraft dev) in a neutral to even a positive light, and I realized, they were probably too young at the time to see this happen

Basically, Markus went from being a normal likeable developer, sold off his shares from Minecraft to Microsoft, became a billionaire, got depressed about feeling isolated (because hoarding wealth makes people hate you), and then became a massive chode

Because, time and time again, massive amounts of wealth cut off your ability to empathize or think rationally, and instead of doing something about it, these people sink into deep, dark holes of festering shit, and maybe that's where they belong

Notch is not a man to idolize, aspire to be like, or admire

I never understood why but I just never liked him. I thought the “notch apple” was cringe and I’d call it an enchanted apple. Even as a kid just anything I saw about him reminded me of just someone I shouldn’t trust and I guess little egg me was right.
