  @KosinskiKen I’m sick and tired of people shoving their ****** crosses down everyone’s throats but that don’t stop you. Also homie you have a bad case of the gay face and you look like you smell like Craigslist.

  Craig from Craigslist turned down $11B and I asked him why on Moneywise. Since then he: - Gave away $570M, and plans on $1B before he dies - Funds NYPD bomb squad gear the city budget can't cover - Funds the AI research of the cardiologist who caught his heart condition He has no car, no fancy watches, rides the subway. I asked him what he actually spends money on. - Books - Streaming services - Gadgets to make his desk tidier His big upgrade this year was going from $50 Skechers to $80 Skechers. Craig never intended on Craigslist becoming what it is today. The amount of money it's worth presents what he calls a "moral dilemma" This episode is all about what someone does when they're given more money than most people in the world will ever see in their lives, but whose values are directly opposed to amassing that much wealth in the first place.

  @CoFoundersNik During Hurricane Harvey, ‘clean up crews’ descended on Houston and they stole everything not nailed down while ‘remediating’. Telling homeowners things had been destroyed by water. The glut of flat screen tvs, electronics, and high end furniture that were undamaged by water or that had minimal damage, that went on sale on Craigslist or FB marketplace or eBay It is a cottage industry of legit dirt bags

  @TheDataHubX @brivael Oh this is fun, here is mine: CJ Netmall (an ecommerce store with 'everything' via affiliate links from Amazon, LinkShare, etc...), I thought I could beat Amazon to their market expansion using their products + products from other stores by building an amalgam. - 1996 Jump Start (a 'start page' website with email login embeds, stock ticker, news ticker, etc...), I thought I could blend the best of all the big sites/services at the time on one page, but it wasn't able to be personalized because I used Tripod and didn't have a credit card to buy a domain or get hosting - 1998 [Name Redacted] (A 'fashion brand' generated by using Cafepress' iron transfer system. Sold raunchy jokes on t-shirts.) I wasn't very proud of this so when I went back to college to get my degree closed it down though we did get minor distribution throughout the Midwest. We also purchased a domain for a trucker hat brand which would probably be really popular today - 2000 Etown Underground / Forums (A couple of new media properties for my hometown of Emporia, KS. A print + digital magazine sponsored by Staples (seriously) and a web forum for citizens to talk about issues), The forum was spamme to hell and the magazine lost advertisers pretty quickly rendering it useless - 2002 Radio Revolt (a streaming internet rock station that mixed new indie music with mainstream and classic rock) - 2003 MMO Market (the first and only place where WoW players could buy and sell virtual items.), I made a grand total of like $5 from running it. Covered by most major gaming/tech media. - 2004 Dollar DBs (we scraped data from the web and sold each database in MYSQL format for $1 in an ecommerce store), It was doing great until it was hacked and I just shut it down. - 2005 1337Talk (a L33t Speak translator apparently used by teenagers and drug dealers.), The goal was harmless fun conversations for gamers. It was featured in CNN and other places for uses I did not intended. I stopped updating it and shut it down. - 2006 GamersTube (The world's first cross-compatible video sharing UGC site built for the needs of gamers with a focus on high quality video playback and a roadmap to live streaming), I tried to get investors at SXSW to believe in the concept of a live streaming site like UStream, Mogulus/LiveStream, and Justin TV + an On Demand site like YouTube built for the needs of gamers to host both long-form Machinima content and streaming eSports matches in high definition. They all said it was ridiculous. I believed in the long-term movement of video based entertainment from OTA and cable to the web-based distribution considering the gaming market to be at least a billion dollar industry alone. Google banned our Blogger blog for "spam" after it was uncovered that we had a revenue program before YouTube and also banned us from Adsense after changing the TOS to specifically forbid our website. Either an example of Convergent Evolution or something else, Twitch built nearly every single feature we built or envisioned including "Pwning", tips, and clipping just years and years later - 2006 Classified Ads Free / Kollege Ads (A network of classified ads websites that were free but made money via advertising networks.), I thought Craigslist was due for being disrupted but learned to leave the gray monster alone. We suffered a never ending and impossible to avoid barrage of spam / phishing listings and ultimate major web gatekeepers killed off traffic to our network (rightfully so) - 2007 AD FUND [never built] (With a college friend who works for a major tech company now as a higher up Senior dev, this project was designed to make it so you could sell small shares of access to your business online based on your revenue or traffic etc... and develop a secondary market for those shares.) The goal was to allow small sites/apps to get the sort of investment only big public corps or those in major VC hubs could get. My friend and partner called an SEC lawyer who told him it was illegal and we could go to prison so he quit and I am not good/smart enough to build something like that alone - 2007 ARS DFW (An art, music, events, and lifestyle blog for Dallas - Fort Worth), I built this using WordPress along with custom Javascript maps to help DFW residents find things to do like cheap drink nights or karaoke nights. IIRC the WordPress site was hacked and I just closed it down even though I still had the JS code - 2010 Nutrition Maps [launched but never adopted] (An XML based language for websites to publish nutrition data, similar to a sitemap, allowing consumer applications to easily find and use the data), I had an interested investor tell me there was no way to make money on this. SmartLabel launched in 2015 - 2011 Rent in Reverse [never launched] (Put renting consumers in the driver's seat by allowing landlords / leasing agents to bid on their target consumers by submitting offers that matched query.) I had worked in rental leasing marketing for a few years and noticed how insanely stressful it was on consumers to find a place and thought it would be great if places could bid on them. Dev partner for this project who I later found out is a cousin of a friend of mine literally moved in the middle of it to Pittsburgh and just stopped. Zillow would launch "renter profiles" 4-years later. - 2012 My New Office [only made Beta] (A website that allowed commercial landlords to post their vacancies and what it could be used for). We quickly got users including CBRE but it was just a WordPress shell as POC and I found myself working on building my own marketing agency from scratch after a falling out with my employer so I had to close it down - 2012 PR Hunters [purchased and improved] (Award winning PR software that scraped HARO queries on Twitter that needed to be filled and routed them based on keyword preferences), It was a great tool but died when Cision bought HARO and when Elon bought Twitter. Site is still live and I have plans on redeveloping it some day. - Purchased in 2014 Rocketship [client exclusive] (Our internal SEO / marketing agency software platform), The goal is to catalog all data and communications we can and streamline communications between team members and client stakeholders. - 2021 Ultimasaurus (A Chrome extension with a variety of tools to customize the desktop web including turning off AI Overviews in Google, making search ads take up less space, Eliminating spam on Google Maps, Focus Mode for getting **** done, and turning off Stories on Facebook), I use this daily for my own productivity and plan on rolling out a lot of new updates soon - 2022 Jump Links Shopify App [acquired and improved] (App that improves blogging by adding an automated TOC w/ recommended products for a low cost) - Acquired 2022 Website Announcement Bar [acquired and improved] (A quick, simple, and CWV friendly way of adding a website announcement bar to the top of your website that can be turned on or off at any time) - Acquired 2023 Advanced Spam Filter for Lead Generation [client exclusive] (A wordpress plugin + internal system to block common spammers across client profiles while ensuring 100% of actual leads come through), This solves the problem of clients not getting leads to their inbox because their email provider blacklisted their website domain/ip address. - 2024 ChatGPT Embeds for WordPress (A custom built plugin to allow simple summaries and other embeddable features for blogs/news sites) - 2025 Rocketship SEO (A plugin for WordPress designed to be a next gen toolkit that compliments current main SEO plugins such as Yoast or RankMath includes things like IndexNow, AI vs Human traffic, Redirects, AI Tools, Google Reviews, and more), I believe every website should be able to access the basics without having to pay a premium price, so we built this to do just that for the next generation. - 2025 Subscription System [still in beta but almost completed and live on the ORG] (A WordPress plugin that gives websites 2 major subscription capabilities.) Websites can offer a publication subscription that sends email alerts to users based on their settings and allows this to be a revenue source. And a work/labor subscription system with a work log and pricing tiers. All independent of Woocommerce using Stripe integration (more coming soon) - 2026 There's a lot more I haven't added like a bitcoin site that only posted peoples regrets for selling early, an online browser game called "Jelly Battle", the most popular Gmail forum signature generator (way back in the day), the most popular Free MMORPG gaming blog (made me $$$$), a handful of failed keyword tools, And several Alpha/Beta projects I may never fully launch, etc... I'll keep building until I die, but will probably never equal 1/10th of what Elon has. I was pretty darn close with GamersTube to breakaway life changing wealth though!

  interesting form of intellect bounty hunting. the new form of 'ask reddit' or 'ask stackoverflow' is coalescing. downstream, i would bet this runs into metaculus + craigslist esque domains. micro prediction markets as reward caches for open problems, with pricing to inform compute + harness direction.

  The house came with a basement I didn't know about. Realtor never mentioned it, inspector never went down there, and the floor plans showed nothing. I found the door three months after moving in, hidden behind built-in shelving in the kitchen that I'd finally decided to remove. Just a normal wooden door. Unlocked. Stairs leading down into darkness. I grabbed a flashlight and went down. The basement was finished.....drywall, carpet, drop ceiling. Completely normal except for one thing. It was full of my stuff. Not similar stuff. My actual belongings. The couch I'd donated last year. My ex-girlfriend's bookshelf that she'd taken when she moved out. A TV I'd sold on Craigslist three years ago. Even weirder: things I'd lost. My high school class ring. A jacket that vanished from a bar in 2019. My dad's watch that I could've sworn I'd misplaced after his funeral. Everything was arranged like a showroom. Organized by year, it looked like. Oldest stuff near the far wall, recent stuff closer to the stairs. I grabbed the class ring, brought it upstairs. It was real. Solid gold, my initials engraved inside. That night I went back down with my phone, started taking pictures. Posted them online asking if anyone had experienced anything similar. One person responded: "Check the far corner. Behind the oldest items." I went back down. Moved the couch from 2015, the mini-fridge from college. There was another door. Newer than the first, steel reinforced. A sign on it: "KEEP OUT - FUTURE STORAGE" It was locked, but the key was hanging on a hook right next to it. Like someone wanted me to find it. I opened it. The room beyond was filled with things I don't own yet. Furniture I've never seen. Photos of people I don't recognize.....but I'm in them, older, graying at the temples. A wedding album with my name and a woman I've never met. And in the very back, a small box labeled "2043." Inside: an urn with my name on it. I'm thirty-two years old. The urn is dated eighteen years from now. There's an envelope taped to it. I haven't opened it yet. But I can see my own handwriting through the paper: "You can still change this. The door only shows probability, not certainty. But you're running out of time."

  @Lexcalibur001 @Vyyyper @grok PC doesn't count as a current platform? I don't buy AAA games on launch, but I don't think that should be taken as an across the board statement that I don't play anything new. Some of my favorites are: Factorio <-Arguably not a game, but still the best game. Civilization V All the Creeper World games. Cyberpunk 2077 All the Serious Sam games Age of Empires II Age of Mythology Rise of Nations Deus Ex Fallout 3 / Vegas Saints Row 3 Ion Fury Portal Bioshock I'll give you a lot of those are older, but let's face it the new Civ games are crap. The RTS genera hasn't advanced since AoE2 IMO. I played the newer Deus Ex and what not, but the quality has dropped dramatically. Recently I have been playing a lot of rouge like action games. Brotato, Nova Drift, 20XX, 30XX I also do a lot of puzzle / physics stuff / real time problem solving games. I played a lot of the Steam VR stuff that was out more than 4 years ago. I have been waiting on the Steam Frame to get back into that. Quite a few arcade style games. A lot of indy games. I mostly focus on them at this point. I did pick up a Wii off craigslist just to do Mario Galaxy on the original controls.

  @ervin_pa I guarantee you’ve never been to another country to witness atrocities. I had an 18 year-old Haitian kid escape at the end of the hurricanes 12 years ago. Taught himself English. Worked his *** off. Made him the manager of my franchise coffee shop. Started buying broke down cars on craigslist and his spare time and flipping them after fixing them. Started his own used car dealership selling 60 cars a month in Naples, Florida. Now works for Hendrick motorsports. Ask that kid if he cares about 200 years ago or feels oppressed here in America No one is more ungrateful or busy reliving past sins then present day black grifters Imagine if Jesus had everyone never forget their country’s past and blame endlessly for something they themselves never experienced.

  20 Unhinged things to try, it gets more unhinged down the line: 1. Read Negative Reviews 2. The "Grandma" Test: Explain your industry to a 70-year-old. 3. Infiltrate Private FB Groups: Join groups for stressed-out professionals (nurses, lawyers, etc.). 4. Scroll Reddit "Help" Subs: Search "How do I" or "I hate it when" in niche subreddits. 5. Find projects that reached 100% funding but failed to deliver. 6. The "Boredom" Method: Sit in a room for 2 hours with no phone, no music, and no pen. Your brain will start hallucinating ideas just to escape the silence. 7. Look for tutorials with 1M+ views but terrible audio. Remake them with high quality and better SEO 8. Audit Your Bank Statement: Look at what you've paid for every month for 2 years. If you’re paying for it, thousands of others are too. Can you do it better/cheaper? 9. Sit in a high-end hotel lobby or airport lounge. Listen to what wealthy people complain about, their "rich people problems" pay the most. 10. Reverse Engineer Your DMs: What is the one thing people always ask you for advice on? 11. Scan Job Postings: Look for companies hiring 5+ people for one role. It means they have a problem. Build a software or agency that solves that specific bottleneck. 12. The "Argue" Method: Go on Twitter and post a slightly wrong take about a niche. The experts who come to correct you will give you all the high-level info you need for free. 13. Check Craigslist "Gigs": See what random, weird tasks people are desperate to outsource. If it’s recurring, it’s a business model. 14. The "Expired Domain" Hunt: Search for popular websites that died. They still have traffic and backlinks; you just need to put a new offer on the old "land." 15. Stalk "App Store" Search Trends: See what people are searching for but can't find. If there's no app for a high-volume search, you just found a gap you can fill. 16. The "Annoyance" Journal: For one week, write down every single thing that mildly irritates you. 17. Analyze Foreign Markets: Look at what’s blowing up in Brazil or China that hasn't hit your country yet. Be the one who imports the trend. 18. The "Refund" Inquiry: Call a big company’s customer service and ask what people most frequently ask for refunds on. 19. Search "Hacks" on TikTok: Find "life hacks" with millions of views. Most hacks are just manual versions of products that should exist. Build the product. 20. The "Delete Everything" Mental Model:If you lost your job and your house today, what’s the first thing you’d do to make $100? That’s your most viable business.
