After my experience in the dividend hype community with so many people trying to monetize on Youtube, I may be a big jaded. I looked at doing it during the pandemic when I was on furlough from my job, and realized the only way to do it is by trading my honor and values in exchange for clicks. Thankfully my job called me back before I had to go down that road.

I believe the best way we can encourage the growth of real community is by focusing on circular economies in areas of the globe that are hurting the most. Let the FIRE burn, and let's work on spreading the word that there is an alternative monetary system, and alternative currency, and an alternative sharing system that treats people with respect.
