Imagine had he 301'd that page to an Elon giveaway page after it was tweeted and then claimed he was hacked. he could have gotten away with it too. The economics and irrevocability of crypto , plus Elon's huge brand and credibility, create all sorts of new incentives. It's like the Bill Gates email scam of the 90s but multiplied by 1000x.

Stats showing low average earnings for authors is somewhat skewed by nonfiction authors. suspense, fantasy, young adult fiction can pay well.Non-fiction books are more numerous and niche compared to fiction books, which are typically intended for large audiences.

yet his articles routinely get to font page and he has a ton of readers. goes to show how useless or overrated most writing advice is, such as speak plainly or write simply.

meh. pro hackers do not crack or bruteforce passwords except as a last resort. they instead find some critical vulnerability that bypasses the need for passwords, or steal the browser sesion, or use malware. this is how so many people got crypto stolen despite strong passwords.

Writing advice is overrated. it's hard to know what readers will like. a lot of randomness involved. also, you need to build rapport or trust with the audience or reader, which is hard.
