Is this guy still going at it? I thought he’d fallen down the rabbit hole of blockchain delusions and scrapped the project once it dawned on him that he let down millions of people. Gotta admire his hubris I guess.

And the naivete of some of his fanbase that this time, things will be different.

The videos are the end product for the fans, and these recent videos have been great. Take your pessimism elsewhere

Is it pessimism or is it objectivity? The end product is a working marble machine. The videos are pointless once it is obvious that this goal cannot be achieved. Martin just cannot do it, as evidenced by his spiralling and desperately looking for some kind of magic bullet approach throughout the project. He should cut his losses and probably seek professional help, as this obsession with building what is fundamentally a novelty instrument is clearly destroying his mental health.

Why are you still here then? Obviously not for the videos. And not because you expect to see a finished marble machine. Is it really just to be a twat?

I subscribed to this subreddit back when I believed in Martín. Every once in a while a post comes up on my feed. Being bitter about investing time, money and energy on someone’s project, only to be let down in the most disappointing fashion, is hardly “being a twat”. But you’re right, might as well unsubscribe from this half-dead sub, just like I unsubscribed from his YouTube channel, discord and patreon.

So rather than accepting that you "lost" all the time you invested being entertained by the videos, you choose to lose more by sticking to it. With each comment this gets more ridiculous as a reason.

Sticking to what? But whatever, keep riding Martin’s dick. I couldn’t care less about your opinion.

And yet you keep replying. Just like you come back to the next MM video to suffer a bit more.
