Have you ever watched something so bad on the internet that you felt embarrassment? If you are familiar with the sinking feeling, you will like these videos.
Over the past month, Randi Zuckerberg, best known as the sister of Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has been releasing music videos about cryptocurrencies.
A parody of the 80's hair metal classic "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twister Sister has been posted by Facebook. The song is called "We're All Gonna Make It", a play on the acronym WAGMI.

The acronym is a popular slogan within Web3 communities, which is a way to build confidence and convince each other that they are going to be successful. That is some real MLM vibes, huh? Web3 jargon is used to get people to invest in various Web3 communities. Here are some words.
It's just the start so gm
Carpe your crypto diem
DYOR and pick a coin
BTD Buy the dip it
Our diamond hands won't flip it
HODL and we'll all join
It looks, sounds, and feels like something you would see at a LuLaRoe convention to get people excited about asking their friends if they would like to invest in a new business opportunity.
I know what you are thinking after listening to that. Is there more? You are in luck! A few weeks ago, he shared a parody of Hello.

Here are some of the lyrics from the first verse if you tapped out after a few seconds.
Hello, it’s me
Would you like to learn exchanging cryptocurrency?
We’ll go over everything
Cause you’ve got coins from different blockchains and want to do some trading
Hello, can you hear me?
A decentralized exchange lets you convert from A to B
Once you pay the Gas fee
And no single point of failure means you’ve got security
And if you did make it that far, you probably stuck around for the chorus which kicks off with "Hello, this is DeFi."
We wereragging on Heather Morgan, one of the two people involved in the Bitfinex robbery, for her alter ego, Razzlekhan. I think we all need to apologize to Razzlekhan after viewing the music stylings of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
The real question is not about the music or silly videos. They are harmless in the big picture. Allow people to enjoy things. The real question is why Randi is pumping so hard. A former Facebook executive, author of multiple books, and owner of a social media firm, is the same person as the one in her own right. So, what are you doing?
Almost all of the projects listed on her bio are related to NFT collections. Okcoin seems to be the only exception. The brand advisory board has an aim to bring more women into the industry.
Unsurprisingly, there is a financial incentive to promote it. It is still interesting to see such strong support for a system that completely basks in its commitment to anonymity.
I think anonymity on the internet has to go away because people feel like they can say whatever they want behind closed doors.
It is unfortunate that they did so in order to support an industry where anonymity is key and therefore is rife with grifts and scam.
