Traps for online content creators

This is a serious amount of self reflection coming from experience. And it can apply to much more than just online content creation.

From equating human romance to the value obtained from a toilet, to analysing the self so much we need a staple gun to the forehead. Only @ Actualized.org 😁😁😁

What is the flipside to the traps for online content creators @Leo Gura ? From your experience, what are the principles of effective content creation, or of being an effective content creator? I ask because I have recently begun my journey as a content creator, and would like insight or feedback from someone who's been providing high consciousness content on a consistent basis for years. 

 

Maybe effectiveness is just a matter of continuous action and reflecting on what went wrong/right, and simply not falling into the traps intially. Though I feel my view in this would be limited since I'm at the beginning, and feedback from friends on my content is pretty limited too. Thank you for sharing the traps!

That's like writing a whole book.

I just finished writing the blog post and I am exhausted.

Bro, I flushed my upstairs bedroom toilet a few months back and gallons of shit-water was raining from my kitchen ceiling.

You ain't never owned a house yet.

My toilet broke me worse than my last girlfriend.

If you don't think your toilet will break your heart, you're in for a rude awakening.

Just frame control your toilet

Who does this advice apply to?  

Quoted from your blog post #446:

"Do you have any idea how much your mind is fooling you?
It’s conned the shit out of you.
Do you realize that? Your mind has invented so much shit that you barely know up from down."

Of course.  That's not a bug, that's a feature.

Did you have to pay out of pocket for these repairs or was plumbing by insurance? My parents live in Vegas and many of the insurance companies they spoke to refused to cover burst pipes. 

[Leo Gura]

Insurance is not going to cover that.

About the Clavicular post— I’m not sure I agree that Clavicular got his looks from genetics. They play a part, but he actually did a lot of procedures including taking steroids during puberty, which can have a real effect. 

Obviously he’s not a highly conscious person, but I think he represents an interesting cultural moment more so than a horrible grifter.

If you watch his podcasts, it’s obvious that he’s actually fairly intelligent and reasonable in his views.
For example, this is one podcast.

 

I actually went down the rabbit hole with this guy yesterday. To be honest I do think part of his gimmick is that he sees how much attention he gets for basically doing this “looksmaxxing” meme stuff. He really  leaned into it and just from a marketing / click perspective it sets his videos up so they are kinda funny to watch and go viral due to how ridiculous and outrageous they can get. Apart from that he he’s now grifting a looks course and stuff so he’s able to grift insecure people this way, also it seems a lot of his followers send donations to him to talk to him on his stream. I have no clue why anyone would pay $5 to send this guy a message. The new generation is really so lonely. Apart from all that I don’t think he really cares about red pill or politics. He has 100% leaned into the looks thing and I think wants to run with that gimmick hard. If the trend on that moves on, which it will, he will probably then pivot to being more political or whatever else is popular with young men and incels who spend money on stake us.
