Stop Trying To Sell Me Shit

When did everyone start doing podcasts, blogging, building stations on Pandora, or selling Pokemon plush toys? It's getting ridiculous. Everyone's just always a motivational speaker now anyway. Just picture women in their 20s and 30s, wearing blue jeans with rips in them (assuming they got it at American Eagle.) drinking Green Tea and talking about Marvel comics and movies, Russian Yoga, the weather, or Photography.

Enough already guys, it's making me sick.

We get it. You're also not just healthy, but emotionally in tune with the world. You're very fond of yourself and rich. You're awesome.

I can spot these women in a crowd. They all look the same. Maybe their listening to a Twilight Saga or Guardians of the Galaxy radio station under their arms. That's a pretty big dead giveaway. And they don't even appear to be working.

Maybe I'm just being jealous. I haven't made my way to hacking the perfect station for me.

I call these people the Lobie listeners. They're always yelling to people that the only way to build the perfect station is to "listen more" or "hack your way with just six songs."

Actually, that would be my next station: "Today's Biggest Hits - 6music.songs". That's a guaranteed best stream.

Can't you guys just entertain me or even educate me, without trying to sell me something? If you've built a successful advertising market, online store, or whatever you're fame will be, why do you still ask for my money?

I don't wanna buy your stupid Pokemon plush toy (unless if it's one of them in the picture above, then I'll buy it.), listen to your station on Pandora, or listen to your podcast on iTunes. Just write me an entertaining article and make me laugh.

More and more people are now advising me to go this route: "Just make a Lycanroc plush with your bare hands Jesse. Then build a station for the toy. You are starting to get following, so it's now time to start selling them something."

I've been thinking about this for the past couple weeks.

I'm a contributor here at Lycanium Z and I post five articles a month. I mostly cover social media, music, and other pop culture. This is just how I hustle. It may not pay me but it sure as heck keeps me company while I'm at home.

I enjoy the writing thing, and I think people are starting to like it, so I tend to do more frequently than normal.

Then everyone comes in (aka The Lobies) is telling me to build "Marvel Comic" radio stations. Build stations on Pandora, host podcasts on SoundCloud, get email subscribers for my blog, sell them a bunch of shit, make a ton of cash through AdWords and hang out with them and drink coffee at Pressed Roasters Cafe.

Hey guys, you know what? I think I'm gonna pass.

Hey reader, I don't want your money.

I just want you to be happy that I'm actually writing something that just came up in my head early this afternoon.

So, I'm not gonna sell you shit!! So you won't see any cool Lycanium Z hoodies on my site. You'll never hear me say, "Merch link in the bio, bro."

You're not going to see any affiliate ads on my homepage.

They're aren't going to be pop ups advertising my radio stations through Pandora or promoting my podcasts through SoundCloud.

I can't even make podcasts right now!! I actually broke my microphone thanks to my chair and I'm really upset about it.

I just like to write things and talk to people.

So take that Guardians of the Galaxy and Twilight Saga and all your cronies out there. I might have to waste so much time working this blog, but I'll never ask my audience to pay my bills: I pretty much got that figured out.

So, if you like what I write and want more articles, then subscribe! If not, no biggie. I'm not trying to force you into subscribing anyway.
