RE: Writing and Rewarding

Can lead a whore to water, but you have to pay them to drink.

That entire model only existed to fill the space between all the ads.

Yep - and there are still people who think it is valuable - on a platform where there are no ads.

I far prefer the more intimate model of getting to know each other and building a community. Pretty much all the other platforms are about screaming into the mass of unknowns.

See. Five steps and I'm fixed; no clicks given.

Here content is injected directly into a social setting, rather than the void. Gives us the freedom to be creative; reinvent "blogging". Mine is more of a combo deal. Some of your advice wouldn't work for me at all. Starts out as a freewrite, then I fine tune jokes and stuff, whatever else. But rather than attempting to remove myself and replace it with word perfection, I'm trying to make it a disaster. Not always but I'm sure you've seen those posts. I don't even like calling those blog posts. More like entertainment articles written by a nutcase posing as someone normal.

You are done - life is easy with Google. There really is no excuse for anyone to ever have a problem of any kind again.

Here content is injected directly into a social setting, rather than the void.

I think this increases the value of content a lot, as it becomes relationship based, kind of like having a reference group. Of course, the source still matters.

Lie with dogs, rise with fleas.

You know something funny? (Probably). When I was writing this I was thinking of you and how a lot of it wouldn't work - but that is because you have already established your personality. It wouldn't work for Boomy (@meesterboom - if anyone else is reading) either. You guys have your things, but you have also both consciously developed them into things, rather than randomly ejaculating whatever comes to mind, in whatever sock is available.

I refute any suggestion that I cannot randomly ejaculate into a metaphorical sock.

:0D

Him and his stupid rules. What the hell else is there to do on a Monday...

It's what Monday means in Sanskrit. Allegedly

I have it tattooed on my forearm.

Me too but in Incan

Yeah. I saw those artifacts. Well-preserved and each layer of crust was carbon dated. Results said Monday and science doesn't lie.

Science is our friend! :0D

Hahaha, oh no. Guilty by my own words!

Yeah I'll admit, and even when things appear simple, there's often quite a few monkeys crunching numbers inside this noggin of mine, coming up with solutions to problems. The biggest challenge I setup for myself, so far, was that cabinet tutorial I wrote. Wanted to find a way to achieve an improvised comedy performance, in writing. That consisted of pulling five random nonsensical prompts out of my ass, placing each one in Google, then attempting to make something funny out of the results, all while making damn sure the reader wouldn't get bored and skip or skim since so many jokes depended on previous lines. The first, second, and third runs weren't even cabinet tutorials. That part came last and saved the entire project from being junk. It's one of a kind; nothing like that exists anywhere else in literature, as far as I know.

Boom is fucking hilarious. Natural talent. One of a kind as well. Impossible to emulate that style. You'll notice him and I never do serious tutorials on how to be us. Fuck that if I'm giving my secrets away LOL!

It's one of a kind; nothing like that exists anywhere else in literature, as far as I know.

And, isn't this in itself an achievement? If someone else does something similar - you even have timestamped evidence :)

I am hoping that at some point in the nearish future, Boomy and I can get together for a meetup somewhere. Would be great fun for a beer :)

I'll come too. Soon enough or whenever it comes time to actually spend some of this fun money, we'll make our own Fest. That way I can't get kicked out.

The link you provided never opens on my device. Every post I come across on my Google feed that comes from physiologytoday.com always pops up 'HTTP ERROR 403' and 'access denied'

That is weird! :D
It must be blocked in your country or something. Though, it isn't the best content anyway, so you aren't missing much :D

I thought so too because there are days, I usually try again hoping it had something to do with my network, and still got the same result.

Oh. That's a relief. I usually thought I am missing something. Knowing this, I will stop trying.
