Ahh Fuck I'm a Hater

This newsletter was built on hate.

Or more specifically, it was built on me hopping on LinkedIn and saying how I think collabs suck now (Jan 2024). It went micro-viral and a lot of “industry” people either liked it or reacted to it which is equally valuable in today’s world. It made me feel good and that my opinions are valid. So now you get 1200 words from me semi-regularly.

I migrated from LinkedIn posts to a blog on one of the many Shopify sites I keep active in hopes of one day selling someone a hat. And about a year ago, I migrated that to this email correspondence. A funny thing about writing all of your BIG IDEAS™ in a linear diary like this is you can start to see a trend in not only your writing style, but your general perspective on things.

After my algorithm decided it was time to debate Gatekeepers again, I went back and re-read a lot of my old stuff. Binging your own brain dump is a strange exercise, but it yields important epiphanies, like the one I had.

I think I’m a hater now.
