This is why you're fucking broke



I pretty much just come here to see if I got any new likes. The thing is, likes don't grow on trees. There is no such thing as passive likes. Sure, you might make a good post and get some good like mileage out of it, BUT, the reality is you're going to have to continue contributing posts if you expect to keep a steady flow of likes.

Liked. Now like my like please.

My favorites are aged likes from posts I made before the like system went in. That's like scoring a link on a super secret PR6 page from 2002.



All likes have been liked, if you agree with liking and would like more likes then all you have to do is like the likes which in turn gets more likes for likes.

A day without likes is like a day without sunshine. I got a single like today, which is enough to sustain me for tomorrow. If you need it more than 4x a day, go see a specialist.
 
This is me pandering for likes.

I'm actually have the opposite experience. I've posted such fantastic material in the past that it seems every new member immediately searches for my posts and likes all of them. My "like acquisition rate" has become unnatural. I fear receiving a ban or penalty.

Now, I'm just posting a bunch of crap each day to smooth out the ratio.

I humbly request that NO ONE like any of my posts until further notice. Thanks. I know I can count on you folks.

I'm actually working on a like harvesting WSO, I can give a hint that it involves shopping the face of Helen Thomas onto random pictures.

There are more and more likes created every goddamn day.

This does nothing but devalue the likes you already have.

I'm heavily invested in likes, and I'm taking a beating because of this.

Ah, but the thing is; since the basis of modern life is priced in likes (and by that I mean porn tubes); no matter what else you are investing in; it is always tied into the likes.

Why don't we just take all of the likes and distribute them equally between members?

I don't know about you; but I don't want to see any lazy ass get their grubby little hands on the likes I worked hard to create/obtain.
 
I couldn't agree more.

Back in late 2006 I joined this place (not under this name), and I was still a total n00b. I knew nothing about this industry. I was young, and I was starting my first offline venture with just a few grand total to work with.

The people here helped me figure out how to build a website that not only got traffic, but got that traffic to pick up the damn phone and call me. They taught me a lot of tricks that helped me out so much.

In like 4 months or so I was in the black, and I was at a STEADY $2k/mo income selling an offline product/service, working just 2 days a week or so. That doesn't sound like much, but when you're young and poor and you've done away with practically ALL overhead (everything was done using either my laptop or my Cricket Wireless cell phone) and pay NOTHING in advertising to bring that money in, it's good.

This place used to be a fucking gold mine. Now it's like page 19 of the front page of reddit combined with a dusting of 4chan.

I fucking HATE to say this but: Right now, I learn more tactics and strategies by creeping Warrior Forum. That's fucking sad.

Sure, the info there isn't going to make any ballers, but fuck, neither is any of the info here these days.

I keep hearing about how amazing this place was in 2006.
But what changed?

Are people just not sharing as much knowledge?


EDIT: Just went back to some 2006 posts and there's something mentioned about a competition. Reaching 500 posts in a period of time (not sure how long) to win a prize. Posts need to be valuable.
People were talking about how cool it was that there were so many good threads.

The world economy, mainly.

Back in 2006 everyone was actually ballin', because anyone with an IQ of 50+ and no skill set could make good coin back then. Times have changed over the past 6 years. The banks don't hand out $10k credit cards to every KFC worker, and elementary school teacher anymore.
