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.

Many Thanks Good Sir!

The Referral System was tweaked precisely for my Free Readers, who, I felt, could significantly help Smelting Operations at the DOOM Furnace through said means.

I am glad to hear you are enjoying the Podcast!

If you refer One New Fren, you can listen to the 'premium/paid material' via a One-Month Complementary Subscription, so do consider it, Good Sir!

& Yes, Vox Day is a very eminent mind, who I have no issue referencing.

I must have missed that. How does the 'formal' referral system work? Rather than the usual linking via stacks? Sorry, as a father of five and business owner, I feel like there's a bunch of quirks on substack I never figure out unless I ask. Like, I still need to get around to figuring out the 'buy me a coffee' thing...

Totally understood!

I have several 'honorary sons,' so while not a real father like yourself, at least I know 5-10% of what it is you need to do every day, responsibility-wise!

The referral links can be found (unique per user) over here on the leaderboard:

https://thefallofthewest.substack.com/leaderboard

You simply 'copy the link' & get people to come to the DOOM Furnace & Subscribe via said link. Same process for the Annals of America; you go to the 'Leaderboard' Tab & get your Unique referral link there!

As for 'Buy me a Coffee'... I believe Stripe will charge you via email for that one. It exists mostly as an informal 'Tip Jar' for myself.

Hope that helps!

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.

No need to feel pressured, Good Sir!

There are ways to get a Complementary Subscription, which will save you money:

You can use the referral links over here- https://thefallofthewest.substack.com/leaderboard

Generate your unique referral link from above, & have frens & family subscribe to the Fall of the West. I have tweaked the reward tiers to the following:

1 referral = 1 month complimentary

3 referrals = 3 months complimentary

10 referrals = 12 months / 1 year complimentary

This way, you save money & can also help me immensely without pressuring or burdening yourself more... I hope that helps!

Also, best of luck in tackling your current troubles!

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.

Addendum: Please don't make any personal attacks or insinuations.

I appreciate criticism, so long as it is done with etiquette & politeness.

The DOOM Furnace runs on a strict policy of 'Clean Speech.'

Just ban the guy, bro; he's literally entering your house, taking a D*** & moving on!

No need to cater to these sorts of people!

Ditto.

'You're arrogant' -> Not following the Prime rule of 'Your House, Your Rules!'

There's no point in being polite to such people.

I have read the eminent Sir Simplicius's post:

I appreciate you sharing your view, albeit I would disagree with most of your points.

DOOM Wares writ large have been smelted at a 1:4 ratio so far (1 'paid' for every 4 'free' pieces), which, if we look at the genre (i.e. Geopolitics & whatnot), is quite Fair.

At least, that is how I have interpreted the data for the past year or so.

That said, you are welcome & entitled to your point of view!

'You're annoying & arrogant!'

> Spouting this directly on the Writer's Own Stack.

This is called 'Hubris & Arrogance' par excellence.

Yeah, Master of DOOM... please Ban this ****!
