Was the point to make money? I figured it was just a publicity stunt/tourism draw
…there’s an inside. It’s a concert venue. They make money by selling people tickets to shows.
Ah yes, like the madison cube garden
Sphere?
Sorry, Madison Cube Sphere.
Well, if they would just allow Blitzball, problems like this wouldn’t happen in the first place.
When I grow up, I’m gonna be a blitzball!
Ah ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ultimate Thunderball would be better.
And then Shirlling in the off-season.
Bitconeeeeeeeeeeect
how does the sphere even intend to make money?

If you don’t go for round 3, imma be disappointed.
This and the promise that your ad on the outside could go viral on social media. Not sure how long that can keep up until people are tired of the sphere ads, but you know the project owners are hoping it’s later rather than sooner.
So how did that work out for them? They lose money or smth?
Did u not look at the meme
People pay to put their content on it, it’s a giant billboard
I can’t imagine companies are willing to pay enough to offset the ridiculous electricity and maintenance cost on that many lights.
Advertising costs are pretty insane sometimes but I feel this thing has a huge ROI mountain to climb. The lights and power aren’t my main issue, I have to support a few video walls in my line of work and a wall of screens a 10th the size of this thing runs 200k plus, they spent millions building this thing just in screens, not to mention whatever software needed to be made for it. It’s gonna take decades to make profit even if they sell it constantly and suffer almost no failures of equipment
I think your estimations are reasonable, but some further information: it is not just a normal screen (with normal picel density) at a bigger size, but the pixels are rather far apart. So I would assume that this reduces the cost.
i can’t imagine it draws that much power, maintenance however must be absurd
The inside is a concert venue with craziness too
People like this deserve to be scammed.
They’re just saying words at this point
Oh, you’re dying of stage IV breast cancer? Bitcoin fixes this.
