#3"Monetizing stupid"
that is literally Facebook and Google's business model too.
"are these ads part of the search results? Only way to findout is to click!"
"are these ads part of my Facebook/Instagram profile or posted by my friends? Better click to find out!"

#4My first thought before reading the article was "speculative cryptocurrencies." She takes it a step further by using astrology to predict crypto markets. Amazing.

#5The topic is interesting but this smarmy "I'm so smart" style drives me up a wall. You consider yourself superior to people who believe in astrology, we get it. Focus on the point

#6What a mean and immature article. The "influencer" is stupid (and a psychopath apparently), everyone is stupid, well everyone except the author of the text.
It does read like someone very young wrote it, I guess the author is young enough to know everything.

#7I find the author slightly annoying insofar as they think you can study markets scientifically and thus applying astrology to market behavior is idiotic. For all we know Elon times his tweets to key horoscope events and the market actually does invert every time mercury is in retrograde (which the data/history seem to support). If we were talking about trying build a bridge or something I’d be a lot more receptive to the idea that anything other than a rational approach is “stupid”.

Totally agree. I came off the reading wondering how young the author is. The essay is quite immature.

I have observed that mainstream pundits such as on TV and in print give worse advice compared to advice on Reddit, blogs,and other non-mainstream sources. James Cramer, whose only usefulness is he draws huge ratings, has been costing his viewers millions over the past 15 years with terrible stock picks. Wall Street Bets got in early on Gsmestop, Palintir, Tsla, Amc, AMD and others, while the likes of Peter Schiff have been saying to buy gold forever which has lagged stocks.

My point is not that I don't believe in astrology.
I don't believe in astros.
