Mike's List: Why paid social is a bad idea! Plus: AirTag detector, tiny 3D printer, LEGO boots you can wear and a retro game and tech finder!

In this issue of Mike's List: 

Why paid social is a no good, horrible idea

Now you can find a stalker’s AirTag *before* it “travels with you”

This tiny 3D printer actually works!

Waterproof boots look like LEGOS but they’re actually made out of coffee

Why go to a regular bar when you can find one with retro arcade games?

And more!

Is Instagram and Facebook paid verification stronger than a shadowban?

Here's a question Meta doesn't answer on its paid-verification explainer: If I'm shadowbanned on Instagram and Facebook (which I am) and I pay to get "expanded reach" and "increased visibility," which wins? The shadowban or the paid reach and visibility?

(Oh, I'm not going to pay. I'm just curious.)
