The comparison to shooting and supplement sales is deliberate here. That was exactly Alex Jones business model. Declare reality to not be reality. Force feed a group of gullible cult members in the MLM style scam a wide arrange of bullshit splattered on the wall. Read the room for what shit stuck the best and try and milk the mark for as much as possible.
Backtracking to real life for about three paragraph or so. Let’s say you are one of the millions of Americans who has found out that your cable bill isn’t really that good of a value anymore. Your subscription is the same price, but the value is decreasing. They’re still using their old, “Here’s what you can view for free” tagline. Just a tagline because you either run the risk of accidentally signing up for a higher priced tier, getting lost in the purposefully designed web of intrigue. Or you give up because you really, really wanted to watch one particular movie which is never available for free. So you break down and pay the $4 for it ($9 or $10 or more) for a new release. Or you settle for paying for something you didn’t intend, because you tired of watching Avengers: Endgame over and over as the only consistently actually free option among your recommended selections. All designed in purpose to suck that extra couple of bucks because the more basic package isn’t cutting it. Gotta pay for that premium streaming. Admit it, you thought about breaking down and diving into the streamium scam if you didn’t actually do it.
So, now you’ve got a mid level tier and/or some stuff and streamium scam services and your just getting around to realizing that the tariffs have made your fresh produce so much more costly and you really need to cut back on something. You’re done. You’re going back to basic cable only, just taking your chances on network TV. No more Peacock streaming. Well, forget about doing it within the app you downloaded. Now you’ve have to jump through hoops to try and do it. All part of the plan. Now you’ve have to call the support number. And you have about a zero percent chance of getting an easy switch to paying less. And that’s because of the hybridized employee pay structure. Sure, by law they are required to pay a minimum amount. But their rutabagas have also increased by 40%, and the wage rate like yours isn’t cutting it. The only way to make a decent amount is to sell you more, just like trying to trap you while dial switching around. Phone support, actual customer service within the monopoly structure is pretty much nonexistent.
And now you need to take a vacation day. Ok, maybe only half a day if you’re lucky. Just to go to a brick and mortar to try and convince someone as badly off as you that you need to cut costs while they are trying to sell you more. And don’t forget about the “oopsie, my bad”mistakes that will happen as they “accidentally” push the sales button instead of the downgrade button. Thanks. Thanks for voting in making things worse on the most basic level. People cooperating with each other to get shit done. I find it difficult to believe a CEO needs to make tens of millions per year to train people to be as unhelpful as possible. I doubt Luigi Mangione did, either.
Now, how does this hybridized compensation work in the online grifting world? Merging news and sports in gematria for example. Zach clearly has separate YouTube channels that are named as separate entities, even though they get mixed together in the hybridization process. You’ve changed your streamium subscription from getting a reasonably unbiased news source for a subscription to the more lurid content. If he wants to continue his lifestyle he’s accustomed to he continually needs new subscriptions to the Patreon to feed the narrative. The latest well covered shooting at the Annunciation school - a two hour video which near the beginning actually used the phrase “magic code”. A non existent magic code that is being used as outrage porn to make light of a tragedy. In this case that tragedy made more heinous as the usual “sending you thoughts and prayers” is made more hollow and hypocritical as the affected children were literally praying when the shooter opened fire. And as i doomscroll through Youtube, i literally see lots of ads for the Sandy Hook parents begging us to pressure Congress to act on this insanity.
Mass shootings are so normalized in the U.S. it’s terrifying to many how no progress has been made. We already know of examples of how other countries have had successful results. Heck, we even have some states with successful results, at least compared to the diehard gun loving attitudes of the poorest states. But now our government is based on a hybridized payment structure. The salary to get shit done never seems to be enough. Wow, I’m making far too much money on my bribes and insider training tips to actually give a shit about a couple of dead kids.
We’re officially at the stage where people are trying to contact customer support. Hey, I’m fed up with this dead kids thing and I want to change my subscription. But the response is selling more hatred and violence. Sorry, what did you say? Wouldn’t you like to try out our immigrant deportation bounty system instead of getting results on dead kids? Along the way, here’s some uncaring algorithms which propose gambling as a solution. Try out some gematria. Football season is just around the corner. You can watch that with an upgraded subscription that will empty your bank account faster.
