So, in the internet economy, the primary scarce resource that is frequently allocated is a persons own creativity, as it pertains to their ability to manipulate data (bytes).That's a really important realization. Obviously, the physical bare metal (computer) is a part of things, but it's a smaller (required) scarce resource. The primary resource that the proper allocation of, would lead to profit, is your creativity pertaining to the manipulation of bytes.The bytes themselves are not scarce - they can be replicated without friction, without violating your property rights (within the AnCap framework).What is truly scarce, is your ABILITY, your CREATIVITY pertaining to the manipulation of those bytes. This is a fundamentally scarce resource.My point here was to make you people realize this. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. Obviously most of you are very, very online people. And since this is /biz, you wanna make a profit, well, you have to know what scarce resources you're actually supposed to be properly allocating.A classic example of a good allocation of creativity that maybe would appeal to you guys would be youtube.com/@syntheticman.It's all about your creativity.Value is subjective, so, you can't actually fundamentally know whether people will like your allocation and whether you will make a profit beforehand.The internet has platforms, and it gives you the ability to create custom platforms.Choosing platforms is a part of the entrepreneurial process. You must identify what platform is most in-tune with your creative core and choose that platform. You can obviously create your own, but I wouldn't really recommend that to a person starting out.Now these platforms work in a specific way, they have set ways of doing things. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that being ignorant of technical knowledge is ok. It's not. <contd.>
>>62323763Continuation:But regardles of that, the primary thing that you must properly allocate, in order to make a profit inside of the pure-internet economy, IS. YOUR. CREATIVITY. It's not technical knowledge. Think of it this way - an athlete needs to have arms and legs to participate - it's crucial - but merely having arms and legs won't make him win a competition.You must know all the intricacies of your platform of choice. And then, you must engage with it creatively.That's all. Please feel free to poke holes.
But your creativity alone is not enough.Here's what I imagine the process looks like for someone starting out:You choose a platform. It's one of the most popular platforms on the internet. You spend some time learning about how it operates. You decide on your monetization strategy. You make your first creative output.Fundamentally, your creativity is expressed under 2 constraints. The first constraint is what the platform even allows, in terms of things that you can upload. And the second constraint is your monetization strategy.What even IS a "monetization strategy"?It's your definitive profit/loss signal. It's what tells you whether your allocation of scarce resources (creativity, time spent) has resulted in a profit or not.Lets take an example.Synthetic Man spends 6 hours working on a video. It gets 250K views and makes him $500.The important thing to point out is that the cost of your scarce resources is known only to you.But there IS a cost, or it would NOT be a scarce resource.What you must HAVE one of, is a profit signalling mechanism.I am exhausted. I hope that made sense, somewhat. But that's literally it, for now.
You filled three posts and I have no idea what the fuck you're on about. tl;dr

>>62324407People who slurp up AI slop instead of actual creative content seem like total NPCs to me. Like, how do they not see that it's trash? It's like reality TV from decades ago. I just don't understand such people, and don't want to.I have no issue with a creator using AI in their process. I have issues with lazy jackasses who want to shovel bare slop from simple prompts at me as the entire output.
