That was quick, wasn't that feature just introduced earlier this year?

Apparently, this was actually a thing for over a year; it's just that a lot of us didn't know it existed until recently, when Reddit's recent bad decisions brought this one to light.

But.. but.. I taught blockchain could not be killed!?

Wow, it's almost as if using a blockchain to do mundane tasks is hideously inefficient and stupid, and is solely the result of tech bros groupthinking onto the latest buzzword driven bandwagon and high-fiving about line go up.

tldr; fuck crypto and fuck blockchains
