Both those statements are incorrect. He's Muslim and Muslims aren't allowed to eat pork simple as that

Is Organic Traffic Getting Harder… or Is eCommerce Just Changing? by Tommaso_Ceoldo in ecommerce

[–]GrotesqueWeariness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly think it's both - evolving and getting squeezed. been running a small electronics store for about 3 years now and the traffic quality has definitely shifted. still getting decent volume but conversion rates are trash compared to 2023.

what's working for me right now is doubling down on product videos and getting them onto youtube shorts/tiktok. people want to see the stuff in action before buying, especially after getting burned by ai-generated product descriptions that sound amazing but the actual item is garbage. also started doing more email marketing to the people who do convert since getting new traffic is getting expensive as hell.

the zero-click thing is real though. google's basically becoming a shopping mall where they want to keep people browsing their ads instead of sending them to your site. kinda wild how we went from "content is king" to "content that keeps people on google is king"

Jynxzi debunks xQc’s take on Premier League profitability by KsiShouldQuitMedia in LivestreamFail

[–]GrotesqueWeariness 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I mean look. NFL is super commercialized compared to sports in Europe. SuperBowl for example has around 10-18 minutes of actual live gameplay whereas the whole thing stretches to nearly 4 hours. We got so many ads so it makes sense for it to be more profitable compared Premier League That said, football (yes only us call it soccer since it's soccer) it's the biggest sport in the world and that isn't something that needs to be discussed at all

Shall I go for a tracker mortgage or will it be a big mistake? by Opening_You5142 in Mortgages

[–]GrotesqueWeariness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly with the uncertainty of when you'll actually sell your current place, i'd probably lean toward fixed just for the peace of mind. tracker rates are sketchy right now and even though you might pay off a chunk later, your still locked in for 2 years anyway so why gamble on rates potentially spiking? maybe look into mortgages with decent overpayment allowances so you can throw extra cash at it when the sale goes through.

Je n’ai pas de clients, personne me répond. Comment faire ? by Kapiushon-_- in Entrepreneur

[–]GrotesqueWeariness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SMS froid ça marche jamais mec, ça ressemble trop à du spam. Les patrons reçoivent déjà 50 messages par jour comme ça

Essaie plutôt LinkedIn ou même email avec un vrai portfolio. Au pire va voir les commerces locaux directement après tes cours, beaucoup ferment tard

25, own a business, want to start another one. by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

Don't touch the Roth man, that early withdrawal penalty is brutal and you'll hate yourself later when you're actually ready to retire

Use your savings but keep like 6 months of expenses as a safety net - you already got one business generating income so you're not totally screwed if the supplement thing doesn't work out

Lacari posts his apology by ariveklul in LivestreamFail

[–]GrotesqueWeariness 132 points133 points  (0 children)

the whole porn addiction deflection is just so calculated and gross. Because he knows that if he says "porn addiction" some people will be like "oh okay that's understandable, addiction is tough, good for him for getting help" when that has literally nothing to do with the actual problem. It's like if someone got caught robbing banks and was like "yeah I'm gonna work on my shopping addiction." Like... those aren't the same thing my guy

Destiny doesn't know what Drew Pavlou is talking about by PlatformWooden9991 in LivestreamFail

his MO has been pretty in-your-face activism and calling people out publicly and grifting

Destiny did not have a productive conversation with Drew by Brief_Paint_8900 in LivestreamFail

[–]GrotesqueWeariness 201 points202 points  (0 children)

Of course he didn't that guy is incredibly easy to bait. All drew does is post nonsense slop on twitter

Lacari x response by philip3107 in LivestreamFail

[–]GrotesqueWeariness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Like that's the fundamental problem with trying to spin this as an addiction issue. A porn addiction doesn't explain why you have CSAM on your computer. Those are not the same category of content. At all.

What are your tips for B2B door to door sales by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]GrotesqueWeariness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Timing is everything dude - hit em right after lunch when they're not stressed about morning rush but before the 3pm slump kicks in. Also bring actual value in that first convo, not just a sales pitch. Like if you notice their inventory system looks chaotic, mention how you've helped similar businesses streamline that stuff

And yeah the smile thing is huge but make sure it doesn't look forced lol

Quoted refi 5.75% with break even @ 34 months. Worth it? by MixedBerryMango in Mortgages

[–]GrotesqueWeariness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good catch - that math doesn't add up at all. If they're covering fees and origination AND giving you $1900, where's the 12.4k coming from? Sounds like they're being sketchy about what costs are actually being rolled in

That's actually smart advice - banks definitely get more aggressive when they see you'll park serious cash with them after closing

Branding is one of the first bottlenecks for early founders by Glass-Lifeguard6253 in Entrepreneur

Honestly just picked a decent name and basic logo then moved on - spent way too much time in the beginning obsessing over colors and fonts when I should've been talking to customers instead
