so true - I had fallen for it. Kept paying the subscription because "this is the good stuff".
subconsciously I was no longer even paying attention to the paid posts because they werent adding any value to my process. But somehow it still felt valuable.
I have been following Lobster for many months now. Impatiently waiting for this series to be published because nobody has done an in-depth analysis yet. Everything from manipulation vs persuasion, memetics to trolling & exact word placement in writing / copywriting for sales / marketing funnels. This is extremely **IMPORTANT** for all human beings to learn in order to protect themselves from the bad actors within different markets; even from your own family/friends who may try to influence your own decisions against your best interests (aligned incentives + values).
It's definitely a stark contrast if you follow @WSPArchive - the old BTB content was more practical and informative. It seems like this started changing around the 2020 mark, although may be wrong
"I started reading this persona in 2021. I'm game to explore the rabbit hole a bit more.
It might be fun to go back into the internet archive for the old blog and pick out articles for me to analyze. My usual line I tell people is, "it was always worse than you realize." Therefore, probably better if my readers the specific article to analyze because that way there won't be selection bias where I pick ones that I can easily show are detrimental. Seems like there could be good learning experiences from this project."
Here too I can also analyze individual @WSPArchive tweets. I'll take a note.

Your tweets woke me up and I unsubscribed.
