so you scraped 100k chess puzzles, wrapped them in a UI and are selling access to more than x per day for $5

you should update the "Why" in your original post to tell the truth. this is about making $

yuk.


fandom => spamdom.


remarkable UI. bravo.


the trick on linkedin is simply to 'unfollow' everyone so you don't see their inane posts / cries for attention.

I'd guess that your platform will inevitably contain the same dross. LinkedIn Lunatics are probably platform agnostic.


Definitely a good tip to unfollow everyone.

I'd guess that LinkedIn Lunatics are only there because LinkedIn incentivizes that behavior by boosting that type of slop. I heard an anecdote that clicking the "show more" would count as engagement on a post, causing linkedin to show it to more people. Thus began the single-line-separated-by-spaces trend. Comments probably count as engagement too, which would explain why influencers end everything with "thoughts?" or "agree?" lmao

Somewhat related: the worst linkedin post I've ever seen was a woman, who I'll call Kelsey R, sharing an image with a caption like "So inspirational, just what I needed to get through the day!" The image was a screenshot of a poem, signed by Kelsey R.


then there's the supposed trick where you don't post a link in the OP, but rather the post is "in the comments" cos the algo [apparently] doesn't like outlinks i suppose, to keep thee inside the walled garden


looks siiiick. congrats + good luck


mmm. nostalgia. my first ever computer. "sky jaguar" and "chuckie egg" - what an amazing time to be alive

2024: They just buy / scrape email lists + linkedin and spam you to death.


Use email aliases
