Nice article.
Great ideas. The paying for media consumption as it is consumed and applying that to all the various subscriptions one might have is appealing. I suspect some people have media subscriptions they don't really use ...
My comments are gym specific. I found it hard to generate excitement to go to the gym until I found exercises that I liked. The "popular" routines like bench press, squats, deadlifts, etc. did not interest me. Once I started trying the dozens of other exercises I was able to get past most of the obstacles and get into an enjoyable routine.
The Hellbender is the largest North American aquatic salamander. It can grow up to 24 inches. The name is more impressive than its temperament. It is actually quite tame and harmless. It does look impressively large if you happen to stumble upon one.
I have found getting rid of some things (chrome browser, Gmail, Keep) is easy. Most Google products I guess. Microsoft is harder. I have not found I can get rid of the familiarity.
Maybe there will be a distinction between content and "super" content. Good content gets eyeballs. If it is really good, then the reader may want more info or a longer form. The zap icon opens up the content that they are willing to pay for.
Your bulletpoints are spot on.
Your "other technical ideas" resonates with me because I do like to try different apps. But, contacts do not always show up in a new app. I also find that bookmarks and followers don't always sync up.
I have seen a few other platforms mentioned in various threads but I did not follow up on them. I am still exploring what Wavlake has to offer. It appears that Wavlake has done a great job in getting the word out.
Wavlake has a lot going for it. The genres continue to expand. The engagement with the artists is excellent (though some artists are more appreciative than others when they get zaps). I have enjoyed finding new songs. Would like for them to add a playlist option.
The first book was Race and Culture. Migration and Cultures was second. Conquests and Cultures was third. Thomas Sowell was quite prolific. He has plenty of other books that are so well written that it is hard to understand why others do not mimic his style. Walter Williams did a top notch job writing about similar subjects. Note - Sowell is still alive but is retired. I see him on youtube frequently, but I do not know if he is presenting anything new.
