I also hate not having option to make my new tab page empty but thinking about the time I have spent for people I know to make their browser homepage cleared ... I won't object it being managed by the browser companies... if you know what I mean... mendokusai...

It is easiest to trick people by saying "other people love this!". Engineers believe in crypto currency, so HODL! Or, the kids today view NFT's as hockey cards, they gonna soar like crazy! You might not see the value in this, but others do and that will make you rich!
Basically it is a way to make people turn off their sanity checker "Oh yeah, I don't see the value, I guess I just don't understand, but I still want in on this opportunity!".
oh if we are on that kind of position then crypto is ok for anybody.. anyone can try to create value from nothing and make people believe... actually they did already ... someone created facebook make people believe that it worths billions... but if someone claims that this is a revolutionary monetary system then I'd become suspicious..

Hn hates crypto so much the top comment just has to compare Tom Brady to Tom cruise and u get all the upvotes. So much salt from a sad community. Can we just ban crypto discussions from hn so the circus can finally close?
crypto is a techincal monetary system yet the most techical people does not like it.. something to think about.

«What problem does Bitcoin solve»
Easy: it's censorship-resistant. You send a transaction and no middleman, no financial organization, no one can prevent you from sending it. You can transact with anyone, anywhere, 24/7/365, however much you want, $100 or $100 million. No other system does this.
On the other hand, with legacy systems, Paypal can freeze your account, Zelle limits your sends to $2500/month, a credit card company can deny your transaction, a bank chooses to not process your international wires on "weekends and holidays", etc. Limits everywhere.
na,
people are just hopes that things will be good... do you really know who built the bitcoin? is there any person you can point ? no? then do you really think that people are smart, decisive enough to keep this kind of systems up in spite of their loss of monry or etc.
do you really think that there ls no trust issue with the bitcoin? let say "some" guy "one" day finds a way to steal your wallet ... can you find a way to make it safe as it is with the current banking system? think about even if your credit card used by scammers you still have some kind of safety... banking systems are not there to be perfect but here to secure people's ( who are not thst smart ) money safe...
lastly censorship rsistant is my ear! it is clear that you have never lived in an opressed country..

there is no way to export the canvas. why ?
Facebook make billions on ads, you don't have to make people believe when you are making wads of cash. And even when Facebook was new the business model was proven to be valuable by Myspace and the many other similar sites making lots of money on ads.
So your post here just strengthens my argument, the fact that you don't see the difference between the two just proves that you have turned off your own sanity checker.
Edit: What we are seeing now is similar to the investment craze in IT before the dotcom bubble. No sanity there, people just invested without thinking. I'll believe in crypto when people starts to think before investing in it.
