... my substack (all free) subscriber* base has just gone up 20% just like that
(with NO Search engine optimisation, or hashtagging - as they are ugly and cheat,or rather 'game' the system they all say they hate.... never mind as a point of principle, example to her she addicted to 50 of them just for one silly Instant load of nothing energy drink of a 'post' - which pass straight through any real woman.... ... and my titles are deliberately confusing to the 'algorithm' title categorisation thingummy, so nothing will get 'picked up'.... ... and furthermore.... as i am far cleverer than i make out to be there is a whole new philosophy behind... not pushing yourself if you actually have better things to do with every second, no matter what in that you think... (the problem) that once you have reached a certain age then that's it nothing really new - like new new word combinations, to copyright into a living, so all you think about is sneakily monetising (Insta followers same thing it's all reserving the right to ... maybe end up with even more 'likes' from twats who auto-like everything as their loves are empty and full of nothing) things you may have once said that may have been ok but cannot be bettered...
* the thing i hate about that model is that when you put up another 'episode' of waffled mental illness it sends out emails to 'subscribers' i believe...
In the case of Mr Kureishi even when (as i like my inbox naked so i may notice something important comming in) you have about 20 times officially 'unsubscribed' from his endless annoying autogenerated emails - meaning his assistant who actually still can type must have found a way of cheating their system.... designed to rightly stop the pester function .... as a (tragically) crippled gay brown person he probably thinks doesnt apply to him...
Well we all know what happened over the pond recently ...
well i didn't even know you could see the email address of the one new subscriber...i never look.... and wouldn't anyway i don't believe in anything ...except
If you turn on the recorder....and one day in the past maybe were once a bit of a "warrior" even stabbed in the side and can't afford the lovely hooker to bathe your feet as some ye oldy world kink...or was it gather 'his' tears to sell on ye oldy ebay
you have to 'trust' that ... nope it would be far too narcissistic (double checked and signed off in medical records by Broadmoor expert shrinks) personality disorder to say one endured for a 'reason' ... and you just may have something useful to say sometimes... when Watts and co never manage it anytimes...
And who knows maybe you get 'help' ... in fact thinking is the enemy you just do cos you can....
Or maybe it is Nutz's 'matrix'... i know absolutely nuthin' except you know for sure you reach a point in life maybe 5ish years ago when you have absolutely nuthin' left to say...
And then you are wrong.
May even have your best things yet to say...
and that simple old addage i forget who said it - on scary audiences out in front, just keep one person in your mind in the 'audience' as you do your do... perform only for that one person... keep it personal. One on one....
and if others like or clap ...or even 'share'.... absolutely none of my business...
I've never said "share" (or if i have it must have been a bad day by accident when i was too tired to retain my ethos of i know nuthin' ) and don't even know any more how one gets a larger audience as i couldn't care so never researched...
All i know is a few years ago i heard the bosslady of Substack (may have been UK dept) talk on radio 4 and she sounded to me like she really did mean her mission and i trust hardly anyone ever in fact even my extremely finely tuned radar sensors - i know they are bullshit, or lost 'lamb' detector radar version 10.0 have been defeated it seems ... so i may be wrong i thought i was nearly perfect so will starve as a result of inadequate gain controls
But Substack still feels like the internet should be i really don't know... as i haven't looked any further or researched anything and cannot be bothered to make pages look nice even if it is kindof my one preferred place on the web ... not that i bother listenin' to anyone else any more now sarah has sacked Meghan... as i know Alan Watts was no good and no one else even seems to be able to discern that any more so there's no hope...
in other words it's not up to me
