The poorer admirers of the DOOM are appreciative, and will do our part to spread the DOOM! When we have time to read them!
Thanks friend, I'm enjoying the podcast! Partway through part 1. Glad to hear you attribute Vox - I hear too many spout off his ideas, and too afraid to credit him.
I've missed your last few articles I've been away from home working. So it's great to catch up on one of my favorites. I promes I'll pay for a yearly subscription within the next few weeks. I'm being held over a barrel by my nation's tax office. Who owes me thousands, but after 20 years completing tax returns for my business. With no problems no discrepancies anywhere & my tax being all paid up with receipts. The tax office has decided to do a security check on my account. This security check involves making sure my tax has been paid & my expenses are well within reason. I always do my return right & I have the receipts of my tax being paid. How long would anyone think it would take go check these 2 items out?
They told me 4 months, I said how is that? to one of their employees. The reply I was given was, procedure. Anyone would think my phone is being monitored & I'm being targeted for my anti government statements online. Just to be awkward my phone which is not old at all, has started switching off. Everytime I try & make a comment on YouTube. Oh well if they're targeting me, it means they're leaving alone some other decent rational tax payer, who dares have an opinion.
You would do well to read Simplicius new post re building a Substack. He says don’t monetize too soon. It drives off the free subs that convert later when they begin to get hooked on your content. IMHO you haven’t earned a sub yet, and paywalls just annoy me and many others.
Build a brand slow and organic. Later ask readers to pay. And please lose the attitude “I’m doing you a favor to release without a paywall.” Annoyingly arrogant. Makes me reluctant to engage the material. But I will read, and see if your attitude is supported by the writing and analysis.
