I heard an interesting theory that you're more likely to go on dates with avoidant personality types. The secure ones are not bouncing in and out of relationships.
Great to hear. Everyone should write and publish online. Writing clarifies your thoughts. Publishing online allows you to receive feedback from others.
1. Personal development and life updates, but I'm working towards writing market commentary. Took a step in that direction with my latest post.
2. Once a week. It's a fairly tough publishing schedule though and longer essays take more than a week to write. I may rethink it in the future.
3. Wordpress on Bluehost because it was easy when I started. I wouldn't recommend it though. Load times aren't great and changes are unwieldy.
That's true. I should've clarified that I was referring to whales. People who are donating five figures are much more likely to fall into the "I want them to be my best friend" category.
I used to subscribe to Twitch streams of pros that would play the game with their subscribers. 5 bucks a month to play a game I love with a professional? Heck yes. Playing soccer with Messi would cost a ton more.
Slightly shameful plug: I wrote about Bella/OF in my most recent newsletter issue.
It's to feel a connection. Porn is free. Connection is not. Creators who sell a connection make the most money. It's the same reason why guys will donate to male Twitch streamers - they want to feel like they're best friends. The streamers feed this fantasy to keep the dollars rolling.
> And in all honesty, it is a bad way to handle the situation. Pulling posts with a high number of complaints, holding the money for a few days or only setting a limit for new accounts would've been a superior solution by far, at least in my opinion.
Right, that's my confusion too. Why not just hold creator revenue a bit longer and then make chargebacks during that period their liability?
> brett weinstein clued me into this as an evolutionary phenomena. if a gene activates a short-term solution and long-term problem, that gene is likely to be favored.
It's tough because of path dependence. If you don't survive the short term problem, the long term doesn't matter.
For sure, but as far as I'm aware, you can't directly buy your way to the top spot. In my experience, the products that earn it have been high quality backed by good customer service.
I think people have this internal moral scale where they're okay to sin if they throw a few bucks into the collection plate. So serving on the ethics board might've made him feel okay to cheat.
