You don't like the concept or the site, and don't think it will make money. It's your opinion. Others disagree, which means they are idiots or bro's right? Wrong.
You do this in many threads, the original camgirls thread being a prime example, whereby because your opinions fell on deaf ears you resorted to personal abuse of the guy (which remember was BEFORE his issues became known) and there have been others, but I am too lazy to go on a quote fest for you.
It's great that you take time to give advice to people, but remember they are under no obligation to take it, and if they decided to invest THEIR money in something then they have the right to do it the way they feel is right.
We already know sleazy has limited resources in his present situation so to get ANY site off the ground, let alone a seemingl original one, even with less than perfect content, is an achievement.....especially as he still finds time to post almost constant crap here 
This is not a personal attack on you, but if you see it that way, up to you. I am actually trying to help you in the same way you try to help others. You "having 10 years cam experience and being available for consulting projects" makes me as a camsite owner a potential client for you, but regardless of how smart you may be, I think you come over as someone only open to his own opinion, which I don't think helps you find opportunities.
PS I am going on a 10 day cruise with no internet access immediately after this post, but I will leave the pc logged in in case my pet monkey has anything to add later |
I'll be the first to admit when I am wrong. I genuinely try to help people, but when they pick fights with me, because they don;t like what I am telling them.... like in this thread being called a troll that has never made any money after I wasted 10 minutes tryign to give him good advice. yeah that tends to tick me off.
Do you understand that? I try to help, i get called a troll and then I fire back a few "idiot" comments. If he would just said nothing I would have never insulted him. I'm human, it pisses me off when you try to help someone and all t hey do is try to insult you because they didn't like what you had to say.
Since most people do that, and so I don't come across as cocky or whatever to everyone else, the best solution for me to do is not offer to help anyone.
It's a fault. To want to feel helpfull, I don't know why I feel compelled to do it. Maybe to to help them, to show I am knowledgable, I don't honestly know. But what I do know is that is seems to be a big waste of time.
Thanks for your constructive criticism, it made me stop and think, why the fuck am I even here wasting my time in the first place. These type of things seem to play out the same way over and over. Offer to help, get insulted by person you trying to help, I get a little personally by callign them an idiot... waste of time. Very few of these people ever listen anyway and only post to hear " wow thats great good luck" which there seems to be no shortages of that around here.
