It's a comical March Madness bracket tournament. The winner gets a candy bar, and everyone gets some lovely funny email updates as the month goes on. In addition to human competitors, you compete against a 1000 chimpanzee army and their own predictions. Each page on the website has a velociraptor button.

If the goods are handmade then the bad UX serves as a rate-limiter to constrain demand to supply. I'm assuming the system works well for him as otherwise he'd switch to a better solution.

It would be more profitable and professional to increase prices.

Some people have a price in mind that they feel their work is valued at, and see that as ethical.

When I got my tattoo, the artist refused to accept more than His agreed to price, as an example.

i’ve met this dude irl, he used to shop at the computer store i worked at. wore a timecube hat but i never asked for details because i can recognize mental health issues

Just cos someone is missing an arm is no reason not to ask them to go for a walk

Mental health issues can often be unpredictable and dangerous. A missing arm is almost never a sign of danger.

A missing arm could be the result of many things, birth defect, boating accident, or dangerous behavior, but is not a commonly accept indication of danger to self or others.

Mental illness is.

https://vecka.nu/ In Sweden, we use week-number quite often, but it is nowhere to be found in our calendar software, so, there is a webpage that just displays what week it is now, nothing else.. also: vecka = week nu = now

I guess you don't need the "year progress" reminders as much!
