      I made my first fortune by stealing attention and selling it as a middle man without ever giving people a cut of the profits even though it was their time. I told them they would get new features like unskippable ads and progressive pricing for services they originally had but I now place behind a paywall.

      Easy enough to do all this. Just put a fresh charming face on it like a Mr.Beast and give them a cut and they will rob every kid of their free time so I can sell it. But that industry is saturated I don’t think most people have a minute in their day without being sold something now and it’s hard to find a space to cram more ads into a persons day so I moved on.

      I am now working to restrict peoples ability to find solutions to costly practices in order to keep the price of things like this inflated through legislation. Why should people be allowed to build their own solutions or fix products they’re unknowingly licensing. Its not theirs.

        Finally, an internet warrior actually helping the world!

        Could you also address this single ply nonsense I’ve seen in stores? Half ply should be the maximum, the modern anus is far too coddled today and is turning us soft when we should all be hard
