Suckers born every minute
« on: February 10, 2014, 03:53:34 AM »
I occasionally stray over to other areas to see what topics are bouncing around.  I realized something today on the stupid AUUndercover board. People there (and I guess at ITAT, too) to talk to each other.  There are six and seven page threads where every comment is hidden and none of the people talking know anything of value at all.  They're just babbling their own worthless opinions, baseless theories, petty gripes and poorly-worded fiffle farfle. 

Who in their right mind would pay to have access to that regurgitated walrus phlegm?  I can sort of see hiding comments from paid journalists or something so you'd have to pay a little bit (I never would) to read their stuff, but just run of the mill idiots posting their half-baked burble behind a pay wall and other flatlining slugs forking out cash to read what eagleDWar, gantau and stevo180 have to say?  That's lunacy.

I have said from the beginning, the $15.95 check I send GF every month is by far a better deal than any of those other places with the fiffle farfle but I don't say fiffle farfle every time I tell the story.

Better yet -

How many people would want to pay $14.99 or whatever it is now to hear what Phillip Marshall, Bryan Matthews, and J Hokanson have to say?

I was a subscriber to a pay site for one month. Everything I got there had I waited five minutes was either here or on the Montgomery Advertiser's site quickly (back with Jay G. Tate ran it). So, I cancelled.

And then I had to try and cancel it again every month when paying my credit card bill. Nine months later I'm still trying to cancel that and finally have to go through my card provider to issue me a new number so I stop getting charged for it. Oh, and forget refunding me any of that back payments.

So, yeah, screw that.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Did. Card company said I would have to prove I didn't use the site during that time. Not sure how to do that since I didn't want to login and ask a mod for said proof.

For the record, this was 4 years ago. I was relating the story to prove the point that pay sites are not really worth it. Not from my point of view. Also, from what I've read online, my story is not unique. I just happened to be one of the ones who watches my transactions and such like a hawk. Not that it did me a lot of good recovering that $90 or anything. Lesson learned.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
