Plinky. Because sometimes you need a push.
We should add this to the list of services nobody needs and contributes to the endless sources of noise and meaningless content. You login into your “Plinky Account” (ugh, the name alone makes me dry heave) and then you get questions that are supposed to prompt you to write blog posts. Today’s question, for instance, is “What do you like most about your job? (or studies, etc.)”.
Did they get investors to foot the bill for this “business model”? Seriously? I quickly checked some of the answers (what? I like to feel righteous indignation from time to time) and was suddenly consumed by a monsoon of inanity blowing me off.
On second thought, if they did get investors to create this, why didn’t *I* come up with this idea?
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
