If anyone has had a similar experience / knows how to resolve please let me know. It's just a simple static site hosted on Github pages but HN keeps replacing submission with root domain.
Good point re: Asia presence and agree they seem confident + have the balance sheet to back it up.
Overall would just be nice to see weekly splits of revenue from all these companies instead of the vague descriptors we're getting. Would be much easier to project worst case/Q2 that way.
Author here - I find a lot of those mentioned personally enjoyable too, but what I was essentially trying to do was quantify my own 'must do' activities (e.g. if I don't sleep ~8hrs/night things go downhill fast, etc) regardless of whether or not I enjoy them.
From there, I view the remaining time as truly open, not requiring working, or general meat sack maintenance. Categorization can definitely go either way though. Part of the message, aside from just quantifying how limited time is, would be to find enjoyment where you can in your 'mandatory' activities too as they'll represent the bulk of your life.
Author here - I would consider my lifestyle intentionally laid back, yes (to the capacity I'm able to at least) :)
However, it's just a 4 day standard weight lifting routine (1 hr/day) but includes total time door to door (changing, commuting, lifting, commuting back). I enjoy this though, so aside from the mood/longevity benefits would do it anyways.
Article doesn't reference anything re: overall ad spend being down, just ad spend for newspapers specifically. Overall spend looks to be growing [1] so would assume people investing in more efficient channels.
I make ~$200-250/month with Find-me[1]. Essentially a database with statistics and contact information for content creators actively looking for advertisers/sponsorship opportunities.
Had a lot on the road map (creating more of a platform) but have pivoted to other projects since this doesn't seem to be getting the traction I was hoping for.

Also make ~$1.5k/year from old Udemy courses on pretty basic topics (beginner-level SQL, Google Sheets, etc).
Have been seeing similar overload of information on Reddit as well (HN not quite there yet, but would imagine it's not too far behind). The front page is littered with images/gifs of bite size information/memes. A few years ago, I'd learn something new almost every time I visited the front page.
I created a tool [1] that lets users aggregate top posts from selected subreddits and receive a daily email summary, but I think there can be more done in this space. Would also like a better discovery mechanism for things that I may be interested in that aren't obviously connected to current content (e.g. someone interested in programming may be interested in art as well, if fed nice introduction to that information/scene, but current algos just stick to known interests).
Have not been to a physical grocery store in over 6 months because of Amazon Prime Fresh. Would be willing to pay much more than I do now after being accustomed to saving so much time.
-I’m a fan of email newsletters, and use my inbox to curate/manage a good deal of content
-I subscribe to too many subreddits, so some of my favorites rarely make the front page due to lower traffic (and upvote) volumes.
-I wanted a snapshot summary covering top content from my favorite subreddits, without having to visit each individual subreddit or be bombarded with a stream of content through an RSS feed
Long-term, I’m planning to add ability to subscribe to summaries covering ‘topics’ on reddit (agnostic of the subreddit they are posted in), as well as a few additional sites (Hackernews, ProductHunt, etc).
Author here -- boxplot distribution is in the article.
Also, any story I could string together would definitely be speculative, so just stuck to the few facts I know for purposes of article. Will speculate here, however :) -- I'm going to guess primary driver is efficient manufacturing coupled with simple product offering. (e.g. this isn't some Tech company employing X% of it's workforce for R&D purposes)
Thanks for the feedback, super valuable at this stage! I will work on getting something graphical for the top of the landing page. I think the 'how it works' section of my landing page has the copy you mention resonating with you, but will be good to get the graphics to tie out. Thanks again!
