If I’ve ever seen an article that needs a tldr, this is it.
Just because we’re both hackers, doesn’t mean you can call on me. I don’t care about all your handles or what you think hacking should be, get to the point and stop wasting my time.
For real. A hacker knows this, a hacker knows that. Does a hacker know how to get to the fucking point?
I appreciate what it is trying to say, it's pretty basic knowledge for anyone that has broken out of "the market is God" mentality though through reading about the basics of finance.
I think the writing style is influenced by WallStreetBets infodumps, which are influenced by Wolf of Wall Street, The Big Short, and kinda remind me of Hunter S. Thompson a little bit. Personally I find it annoying but I understand the culture that this kind of writing is emerging from.
I don’t care what influenced it, I might be more interested if I know the content is actually of interest but it presumably took several paragraphs to get there. I didn’t know it was about marketing, because I stopped reading.
A hacker should know how to captivate their audience, particularly when talking about marketing.
This article took less than 10m for me to read. That is really not much time.
Sure, but if you spend 10m to read an article every time someone gave you an article, when you’re not even sure if you’re interested, then you’re wasting your life.
