#SharkSchool Lesson 2: Develop A Taste For Other People's Blood

in #writing6 years ago


Not gonna lie, every time I publish a post I am legit scared to read the comments.

The past few weeks I've been so scared that I would force myself to wait a full 24 hours before reading any of the comments. I figured that if there were any negative ones, I'd be able to read them all in one sitting instead of compulsively checking my post to see if anyone else had come to tell me why I was an idiot.

How to weaponize your autism

Take yesterday's post for example - I'm not happy with it. I mean come on, I made such a fucking big deal about this #sharkschool thing that I expected the first post to come crashing out the gate. And what happened?

70 comments and 600 reads. Pathetic.

Might sound like a lot for some of you, but I'm used to getting 2-3k reads and at least 200 comments. That's just the level I'm on right now. So for one of my posts to get less than 1/3 of the normal exposure is very, very bad. Granted, I didn't wait the full 24 hours to check the stats, but still. No bueno.

ESPECIALLY considering this was the first #sharkschool post! I wonder how many people are going to read the intro in the future, get all hyped up and then read that boring piece of shit and just be like, "fuck this shit."

I thought I would do something different.

Yeah, I could have just come out and said: "here's how you find your voice as a writer: 1) play text-based role playing games, 2) keep a diary for 10 years, and 3) write about all the fucked up shit that happens to you with no filter."

Great. The article would have been 20 words long. What good does that do anyone?

So I got creative. I thought I would tell a story about my history as a writer and pepper the piece with embedded commands. But I think people were just used to my old material where I call everyone stupid and say fuck a lot.

Henry Ford didn't give us faster horses

And that's understandable. One of the most famous therapists ever, Milton Erickson, had an unbelievable track record of curing whatever psychological problems his patients brought to him. They'd complain that his sessions were boring, but miraculously they'd see their conditions disappear virtually overnight, even when no other therapist had been able to help them.

Whatever. That's really the least of my concerns. I still made money on the post. I still gained followers. I'm still at the top of the Trending page. Plus I got to tell you a little story about myself to make it seem like I'm actually a normal person and not just a caricature.

The REAL problem with that post is that there was no controversy. I didn't state an opinion nor did I take a stand for anything. I didn't take any risks. Or rather, I didn't take the RIGHT risk.

While I'm not crazy about the idea of writing about how I used to do a bunch of drugs, I thought it would be somewhat entertaining. Drugs, sex, and violence - people like reading about that shit because nobody talks about it in the real world. It's pushed under the carpet because it makes us feel bad. But entertainment for entertainment's sake is not enough. You need controversy in order to elicit an emotional response.

While it was a risk for me to expose my past, it's essentially the moral equivalent of some chick admitting that she used be anorexic. Good for you, nobody fucking cares.

I went to bed last night and legit DREAMED about checking the comments on my post. I was nervous that they would be bad and my fragile ego would take a beating.

Looking back, it seems unrealistic that someone would leave a negative comment after I admitted to being in a bad place for many years. Unless you're on 4chan, people generally won't kick you when you're down. But if you are brave enough to pound your chest and roar, the reaction is quite different.

Harambe is inside all of us

I've tried to make most of my previous non-crypto posts as barbaric as possible. I lash out at Steemit, lazy content creators and people who are too scared/poor/unmotivated to promote their content with real money. I talk a ton of shit while implying that I am superior in nearly every way.

I basically say, "You're shit. I'm great. Go fuck yourselves." And not only that, I throw it in your face with 2500 word articles and then brag about spending big money to get them to the top of the Trending page.

How could you not have an opinion about a guy like that?

Not only do people disagree with it, but when you read the words, "I'm better than you, so go fuck yourselves," you probably feel certain emotions rising inside you. Maybe some anger. Maybe your adrenaline starts pumping. Without even thinking about it, maybe you start thinking of reasons why it's not true.

Or maybe it makes you laugh. Maybe you secretly agree with me. Maybe you think I'm just what the doctor ordered and are thirsty for a second helping of the Super Fresh @YallaPapi Kool Aid. Maybe you think to yourself, "yeah, this guy is on point. Can't believe he has the balls to put it all out there without a drop of sugar."

The point I'm trying to make is that regardless of whether or not you agree with what I say, you have an opinion on it. When you state an opinion instead of a fact, you force people to either agree or disagree. That's why I fucking hate how 99% of all articles are predictable to the point where they have conditioned people to rarely do more than read the headline before skimming the post for the main points.

INCOMING RANT DETECTED

Sorry fuckers, if you want to get anything out of this "course" you're going to have to read what I'm writing. If you want Top Ten lists there are plenty of them out there. You don't need my help to find them. Do you know why?

Because if I make it easy for you by giving you bland, inane tips that already exist on the internet on millions of blogs, then what am I really giving you? You're just going to skim through and look for some bolded text so you can go back to jerking it to tentacle hentai.

Fuck that. I don't spend hours writing this just for 100 SBD. If I could magically get my post to the top of Trending without spending/making any money, I'd still do it every day. I'm here because I want people to read what the fuck I'm writing, not to make fake internet money that I can only use in 13 weeks.

But you, my sweet little circle-jerker, why are you here? You want to make 10 SBD per day so you can move to a country with drinkable tap water? Sorry, you're reading the wrong blog. Plenty of better places out there to learn how to make money and MUCH more efficient ways to do it than trying to join in the circle-jerk.

Or better yet, why don't you close your fucking web browser and start working on something productive that will actually earn you some money?

END RANT

I try to make my articles polarize people and force them to take a side. Some of them don't even bother finishing the post before heading to the comment section to tell me why I'm wrong, an asshole, or both. For instance, the previous few paragraphs may have triggered some of you.

Why isn't he giving us the answer? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Bruh... it's simple. You want to write like me? Read my fucking posts and use the same words I do. Just copy me. Here, I'll make it easy for you:

How To Write Like @YallaPapi For Dummies

  1. Make a clickbait title that may or may not have anything to do with the post
  2. Use an image at the top of the post
  3. Add links every few paragraphs
  4. Make jokes (hope you're funny)
  5. Write like you talk (sorry non native-English speakers)
  6. Use 2-4 sentences per paragraph
  7. Write at least 1500 words per post, preferably 2500
  8. Be "edgy" and use profanity (please kill yourself)
  9. Call someone/something stupid
  10. Be intelligent (probably hard for most of you)
  11. Spend lots of money on upvotes (oh wait you're broke. Nevermind)

There. Do you get it now?

No, not how to write like me. I know you already get that.

I'm talking about the motherfucking RAGE bubbling inside you, brother. Do you get THAT? Did you get mad just now because you were expecting me to actually give you specific advice in a traditional format? Are you disappointed? Do you want your five minutes back?

No? Then you must be on the other side. Maybe I got a chuckle out of you. Maybe you felt a burst of encouragement with the knowledge that someone out there agrees with things you've never verbalized.

Good. Now you are feeling something. THAT is your goal as a writer. That is what will get you known on and off Steemit. Not pictures of your fucking stupid ass dinner - unless you're a girl and are eating it naked - a strategy I fully endorse, by the way.

Once you learn to elicit an emotional response from your readers, the trick is to do it in a way where it is at least PLAUSIBLE that you believe what you're saying - not just doing it to get a reaction out of people.

I love compliments, but if all I see in the comment section is variations of, "Great post! Hope to see more," then in my eyes the article is a failure. That's why the Trending page is trash. That's why the circle-jerk is the REAL death knell of this site. Because without controversy you have nothing.

My last article had none of that. The worst thing that people said about it was that it was too long, or boring, or that I should have just gotten to the point instead of talking about myself. Well guess what motherfucker, it's my SBD that I'm spending so I'm going to say whatever the fuck I want and there ain't a damn thing that you can do about it.

Top Ten Reasons You Should Stop Reading This And Go Do Something Productive

The sad truth is that this problem is not unique to Steemit. It's everywhere.

If there's one thing I hate about the Current State Of Internet Articles is the fact that everything is dominated by 300 word Buzzfeed-esque SEO-optimized listicles with clickbait headlines and shallow content.

Shit, maybe my last article would have blown up. You'll never know if you don't try. That's how I started writing these rage articles in the first place.

I used to only write about crypto on here because I was trying to promote myself as a marketer for blockchain startups. So I basically rewrote a bunch of news articles and showed them to clients. It was a chore to write them and I derived virtually no pleasure in doing it. I'd be surprised if anyone actually read them.

Then one day I was like fuck it, I'm just going to write whatever I want.

I had been using the upvote bots to promote my content and was turning a profit. I figured that as long as I was making money it didn't matter if one or two of the articles was just me freestyling.

One thing lead to another and before you know it I'm going berserk on those poor, average souls who were just following the advice they read in those goddamn motherfucking piece of shit garbage trash LISTICLES that are fucking everywhere. Thank god I let the bloodlust take over because look at me now motherfucker - sitting pretty with fresh fake internet money in my fake bank account and sporting my very own Discord channel.

You are allowed to write an article that seems like it has nothing to do with the headline. In fact, it's probably better if you do so you don't get morons trying to skim your posts for a soundbyte they can paste into their "Great Post!" $0.01 comment.

You are allowed to teach a lesson without saying what the lesson is because your readers are still likely to learn even if the method is not explicitly stated.

I got me a wooden spoon

Take this article for example. What the fuck am I even talking about in here? How the fuck is this supposed to be Lesson 2? It's even worse than the first one.

Is it because I don't have any ideas? Sweetie pie I could crank out listicles from here to the moon if I wanted. But that's boring as fuck. I've got my clickbait title and enough uncertainty in these 2300 words for you to keep reading while you think, "when is he going to get to the fucking point?"

What you don't realize is that I already have, even if you don't consciously understand what the messages are. The next time you write, whenever that is, you'll notice that you will write differently. Or maybe you won't even notice.

Highjacking my own top comment to save you from the shitstorm of a comment chain below.

One thing you guys will come to understand eventually is that if you are in the public eye, you will eventually get people who say you are complete garbage.

It's easy to pick on Britney Spears, Justin Beiber, Kim Kardashian or Donald Trump because they're the ones in the spotlight. They're out there every day doing their thing and being public figures. Aside from Donald Trump, none of them are openly abraisive towards other groups of people.

That's one of the reasons why I have a massive amount of respect for The Donald. I don't agree with everything he says, but I respect the fact that he's got the balls to get up in front of literally the entire world and give his opinion without giving a second thought to the millions of people who will inevitably disagree with him.

The conservative opinion will never be a popular one. Most people do not want to hear that their success depends on their own life choices. They do not want to hear that their station in life is a result of their own thoughts. They want someone else to blame for their lack of success.

Regardless of whether or not that statement is "true," once you make the decision to believe that it is, then you have a chance to actually improve your life situation. If you don't believe that, then any success will be short lived and probably just a result of pure luck.

It doesn't matter where you go or what community you're a part of, as soon as you start to take a little pride in yourself and say, "Yeah, I'm actually pretty awesome," people will be standing right there waiting to pop your balloon.

Truth be told, I think it just comes from jealousy. They don't like the attention you receive as a result of your openness with your opinion, unpopular as it may be. It's just like the hatred towards Trump. If you notice the news, it's all about, "Trump said this politically incorrect thing."

What they fail to mention is that what he says are all things that many people have thought before. Trump isn't saying anything revolutionary, he's just making insensitive comments without thinking. The people who are deeply entrenched in "playing the game" of being socially appropriate can't stand this.

They see it and it clashes with their reality. It threatens the image that they've built for themselves, that's built completely on the premise that authenticity should be shelved in favor of not hurting anyone's feelings. Can't say I agree with that sentiment nor do I respect it.

The truth hurts. But the truth is it's own defense. And only through examining the truth in yourself and the rest of the world will you be able to resonate with people and elicit from them an authentic response. You want to wake people up from the game they're playing, from the trance they walk around in on a daily basis.

If you can manage to do that, people will give you a chance. They'll be so thankful that there's someone out there who says that you actually don't have to put in all this work to play the game, that you can be a more authentic version of yourself and still get what you want.

Good luck.

You got a 78.95% upvote from @minnowvotes courtesy of @yallapapi!

Agreed. I actually like your posts. Agree with many points. In most recent one (S#4), as of this time, point 7 was exactly correct.

``Henry Ford didn't give us faster horses . . . '' Alan Kay would strongly agree with this.

You posts are fun to read because they have a Voice as writers say. If you write with a recognizable Voice you'll likely go far and there you will stay.

``Truth is it's own defense . . .'' It needs the assist of Organization sometimes, but basically that is true.

:)

(I still don't like using bid bots for each post. In the broader world you don't have to advertise every single unit of good that you move. That would lose income. Economists call that the Winner's Curse for first price auctions.)

you writing is quite subtle and very creative, how to be you?

Damn everytime I read one of your posts I cant stop thinking how much it sounds like im reading my own thoughts/shit I would say...you are just a version of me that has practiced putting their insane highspeed thoughts into a readable scripture for others to read. And let me tell you, it is very motivating and youve inspired me to start writing down my own almost surreal life stories. So for that, thank you @yallapapi

Maybe we are in the Matrix Borg hehe? Did somebody WALL-EEEEEEEEEE?

Thank you brother. 10/10 compliment

Wow another successful troll! Congratulations you are soo more awesum for using the bots like them. Brilliant!

Reason 11 to Stop Reading This And Go Do Something Productive:

Boredom. Yawn!

Aww no one watched your informercial.

Far out man, if you can't make it, what hope is there for us normal mortals who lack the liquidity to boost our posts? And look at the price of STEEm and SBD - it's almost like this shit isn't attracting enough new money to overcome inflation and the general malaise in the broader crypto markets. Fuck! it's almost like quality matters, and that what you've been saying is actually bullshit.

Anyway, I largely agree with @simplymike. You aren't stupid, though I think you'd prefer that we thought you were. And you are sensitive. Most of all, despite all the faux machismo and generally coming off as being full of piss and vinegar, you actually care what people think.

Hope this all works out for you. Seriously.

I don't think I'd ever read that many comments, I mean a mind can get fractured pretty hard when bouncing from one perception to the next in such a short amount of time, at some point you just start wondering what is real.

nice post....upvote and resteem :)

wow you are making it bro. Real dope, nigga. Unfortunately engy is my second :(

Haha! You are seriously becoming one of my favorite people on here lmfao! I do hope / aspire to get to the "level" you're at on here, it seems like people really do appreciate your style of writing and getting a point across. I'm starting to notice some of the down side of this site, like crap posts getting hella love. Or hot chicks just posting like one pic of themselves and people comment, "great post!" "awesome, way to go!"
Almost makes me want to start wearing makeup, get out my slutty mcslut clothes and post some pics like that. But yea no, fuck that. Gonna be me!
Anyhew, see ya around! :)

Sex sells, right? Put a beautiful girl in front of a car. And then people buy the car. Money talks. We may not like that. And there are exceptions to these generalities. And yeah, sex is not the only thing that sells, but it is a default setting in males, sometimes females as they look at hot men with big muscles. But Steemit is a personification of global societies which simply emphasizes and highlights what people like and do already and that is part of capitalism of supply and demand.

But hey, Cinnamon Sunset, if it makes you feel any better, when I eat Cinnamon Bread, I think of you, or maybe I will. I was eating some cinnamon bread or something this morning while writing this. And haha, you don't need makeup. Yea, be you. It make take more time to build audiences, fans, without taking the marketing shortcuts, like selling out your body as click bait or whatever, but slow and steady wins the race.

Better people can and are rising on Steemit and it can still take years for some of the better people to become whales here and we will always see One Click Wonders or One Click Whales come and go on Steemit and that is capitalism and true and real success is not really or not normally created overnight. Be like Rick Grimes and do what you gotta to get Facebook Negan and others haha.

2015-01-05 JA GROUP RED CLUB AT PARK.jpg

Indeed sex does sell! That's for sure! And yes, I agree that it just the way it goes with capitalism, which is fine - on a primal level I understand that beauty (and / or physical attraction) gets the attention of most. Nobody enjoys looking at what is deemed as "ugly", lol!
Haha, well I'm flattered, in regards to the cinnamon bread haha! I actually just made some homemade cinnamon pancakes, so delicious! You may want to give that a try sometime yea!
I also agree that slow and steady wins the race in most cases, and in some others are anomalies, but for the majority people do need to work for it to become successful with anything really :)

Agreed. Thanks. Awesome. Beautiful. Yummy turtle life pancakes.

Agreed, talk the way you think, write the way you talk, and yeah, be funny, or be bad ass like Rick Grimes of The Walking Dead (TWD) and Dexter Morgan and Batman, AKA Trump, and be as true to yourself first in building from real eternal foundations.

  1. you are an ass
  2. stop calling me a circle jerker.
  3. I agree with a lot of what you have to say
  4. don't start doing meth in Thailand

But should government continue in drug prohibition?

all I am saying is if he does meth in thailand then he will for sure be calling us circle jerkers. He will start accusing of being circle jerkers with crystals. and I don't know but I think that might be the worst kind of circle jerkers the ones with crystals. Thats what I heard anyway.

Seriously intriguing post, brother. I would warn you against compounding upon, and/or spreading negativity For the purpose of keeping our collective consciousness in a positive light… But I don’t expect you to listen to me, you don’t seem like the type. I’m going to read through all your links because they Seem helpful, as well as your general idea of posting :-) have a great day, and thanks for being here!

Is there a difference between creating negativity and in shinning light on the darkness, the negativity, sometimes, a little, as negativity is already here, there, all over, yeah?

I see the question that you are asking. I would say I worry that "Shining a light on darkness" might focus on darkness enough to bring about more darkness (see how much you just thought about darkness? ;). I say this Because I believe in the power of our collective consciousness, as well as our conversations, to bring about negativity or positivity in our reality. At least, I would think, that shining a light on the light could only make the light stronger...which, I believe (and I'm not saying in any way that you have to as well), is the main goal of existence. Becoming more focused and aware of darkness just brings down your vibration to ill health in all areas of life on an individual level as well as a societal level; whereas focusing on the light charges your vibrations to higher frequencies. Thankfully, we all choose our own path!

I think that it is almost impossible for everyone to have a good time. Look at the case of Jesus Christ. Centuries have passed and it still does not quite please everyone.
For my part I tell you that as you write what you like it matters what others say

Very true @merryslamb we certainly can not please all, being oneself is just enough that's all. We are all unique is a way others might find otherwise...

Men love darkness, John 3:19, because their deeds are evil. Jesus is of the light.

I'm back to being your disciple man, plus here're your nudes...

I see reading and enjoying, amazingly good postings you, innovative and and add knowledge. Thanks for sharing

All good writers read a lot.
Those complaining about posts being too long aren't interested in #sharkschool anyway. (Scr*w them. - This would be the logical thing to write to make a point and express an opinion, and offend people all at the same time.

But, it's not how I speak. Not who I am. Not my style.

Back to lesson #1)

Perhaps its a similarity in Ausomeness, but I did use my voice in my last past post "Growing Apart" and guess what? I got a Curie vote! Holy Shit, it worked. I joined your discord, email list, and Instagram. Posted on IG & DC. You ignored me but it's fine. LOL! Bye....

Thanks for the tips. Seriously, good stuff. I look forward to the next post.

Good work with using your voice and keep up the good work. Is DC short for Discord or what is DC? And what is IG?

Discord and Instagram @joeyarnoldvn :)

How about CBD have you tried that? I
With a small thc activator it can work wonders for people. Most still claim its for pain but ive turned the plant into a natural sunscreen. Well great post and thanks for the info.

What is CBD?

Hopefully this will help.

Good. Thanks. Great. CBD should be legal. I have heard it helps some people like you said. I agree that it is an herb, a medicine that helps.

Tha ks so much. It does work well but
You cannot patent a plant in America so big pharma wont touch it. Curing or containing which does big pharma make the most money on?

I hate Big Pharma and the other monsters.

Totally. Agreed

Spend lots of money on upvotes (oh wait you're broke. Nevermind)

Yep..... puts head in oven.

Is that an idiom? When you put a head in an oven, does that mean you are getting burnt like a no win situation?

Inhaling the gas from a gas oven was at one time a method of suicide - in context here - I'm quoting him and agreeing that I'm broke and cant afford to play the bot upvote game - thus i mind as well (fugitively ) kill myself. I'm dark - i know.

Thanks. In case I ever need to end it. Now I know a new way to play Hang Man in real life with myself hehe, just kidding. I don't pay for self-bots either. I get dark humor and stuff. I can dig it sometimes.

As you pointed out, you were not your brand in the last one. Sure, you still got plenty of suck up comments. But you lost two things. Your connection of us vs. them, and sympathy from many, perhaps subconsciously where all the real shit is happening.

You probably should not have been so flippant about using your parents. It is one thing to poke fun of people here being morons (especially when you at times reveal as you do that you are one of us), but the ease you had painting your parents as gullible probably hit some walls in many peoples program.

One problem with branding is if you deviate from it, people will say WTF is dis shit? Also, you are accepting applications now for others to be your worker bees in building your growing empire here, which would also be prone to turning off some of the more intelligent (or lazy) folks who think screw that, I have enough struggle putting in effort on my own shit. Calls to action are always a gamble where you never know how many will decide it is time to move on from snake oil salesman. No offense meant here, but many are wary when a call to sacrifice for some undetermined future benefit is the dynamic.

Overall you are a smashing success, your push/pull style an art form and joy to watch. I will be curious to keep watching just to see if you can walk anyone through their program and realize everything you are throwing out in parable can be summed up with the Nike phrase of Just Do It.

Of course, three words aren't effective at growing a base of hungry followers, so I applaud your ability to write what may be the equivalent of many novels before you are done that could all be narrowed down to those three words.

Rebranding is tough but it is sometimes better to reinvent the brand, the series, yourself, the company, or whatever it may be. Yes, just do it with oatmeal hehe.
