Do y’all give me any credit for not click-baiting with my headlines and not filling this site with pop-up ads and advertisements that promise to tell you which celebrities have the worst tan lines? These are all ways that bloggers and news outlets maximize their revenue while irritating the shit out of you.
I’d like the money, believe me. In fact, at this point, I kind of desperately need it. But I consider it part of my brand that I sell integrity. I consider it part of the appeal of this community that I don’t blow off the enjoyment of my readers to make a few extra dimes a day. I’m trying to launch a new site that keeps getting delayed because I have too many dishes in the air and it seems like I’ve dropped most of them and created a giant mess all over the floor.
A lot of you donated in recent days at Steve’s suggestion, and it’s really helping me out of a jam. But I went without a paycheck and acquired a lot of medical expenses over the last month and a mechanic told me my car needs brakes, is leaking oil, and has about 101 other annoying problems that should be addressed. I think I’m really just scratching the surface here of how the Gods have decided to fuck up my shit in recent weeks, but the bottom line is that I’m making my first bleg in 13 months. If you can help out, I’d really appreciate it.
Here’s some music:
Thanks in advance.
