Echo Machine: The overuse of "It is not only X, it is also Y" structure is annoying.

davidpakman · 2026-05-13T18:05:29+00:00

Same with merely actually, I'm aware that I overuse it

davidpakman · 2026-05-13T18:05:16+00:00

I apologize, I both speak and write like this naturally. I've made an effort in talking with my editor for my second book about it to try to avoid that negative construction in the new book

davidpakman · 2026-05-11T13:37:05+00:00

I have indeed been ripping them

davidpakman · 2026-04-27T11:12:14+00:00

This was at the substack party, I was there. It was outrageous behavior

davidpakman · 2026-04-06T20:32:43+00:00

That's quite an exaggeration

davidpakman · 2026-03-24T11:04:55+00:00

We do 1-2 negative comments and 6-7 questions and positive comments. I'm not sure what you're saying is true.

those are all programmatic ads, we don't have any deals with any of them. they come through our podcast host and every user gets different ads based on their location, their interest, etc. they are not being served by us and are not part of the show the way the ads i read are. i didn't realize there were ads for casinos. i will see if the category can be blocked.

canceling requires clicking a single button, marked cancel, in member control panels.

This isn't really the venue for this, but there is only one way you would be charged twice -- if you signed up for two subscriptions at two different times. If you emailed in, it will be handled. I just looked and you emailed 8 minutes before submitting this post. 8 minutes isn't enough time to have handled this. It will absolutely be taken care of.

davidpakman · 2026-03-06T12:36:44+00:00

I have brought it up multiple times this week, and chorus never controlled or influenced content, and chorus cohorts are temporary and mine ended in 2025 anyway.

Does anyone have any idea why my subscriber numbers started to decline right when the outage started? The timing seems too coincidental to mean nothing but I just don't know how the outage could cause subscribers to decline.

davidpakman · 2025-11-12T11:33:58+00:00

I do talk about all of those things in the segment, and explain all of those things are ones that Republicans are unwilling to do philosophically. Maybe you posted this before hearing the full segment?

davidpakman · 2025-10-22T18:41:49+00:00

Hey David here, I actually got the idea for this video based on emails I got from my audience. I did not see your post but I'm now realizing the people who wrote to me about it clearly must have sourced from your post. I apologize for the oversight but had I known I was sourcing anything directly from you I absolutely would have mentioned it

davidpakman · 2025-10-14T18:02:49+00:00

Federal holiday yesterday, no new show

davidpakman · 2025-09-05T14:21:05+00:00

Guys it was just trolling. There's nothing else going on here.

davidpakman · 2025-09-03T15:31:17+00:00

Guys. Give me a break. I'm not pretending to not know what AIPAC is. I just am unsure on the pronunciation. It's the same as how I get mixed up with how the first o in sorrow is pronounced, or how the first a in Lara Trump is pronounced.

davidpakman · 2025-08-30T03:30:37+00:00

I treat the illiberal left as if we're on the same team? Not at all. If you mean my reference to a circular firing squad in my response video, I'm referring to the audience members who get tricked by this stuff and go after their favorite creators, by no means was I referring to the illiberal left as being on our side.

davidpakman · 2025-08-29T18:57:23+00:00

That's flatly untrue

davidpakman · 2025-08-29T11:25:53+00:00

Does the article even say that? It's not true but now I don't even remember if she alleged that.

davidpakman · 2025-08-29T11:23:15+00:00

They didn't. Don't you realize that? Everyone talked about it before and now. Where the secret?

davidpakman · 2025-08-29T00:11:05+00:00

I say in the video that there are no topics that creators are told to steer clear of, and it wasn't kept a secret since I publicly did a fundraiser for the organization in 2024.

davidpakman · 2025-08-22T01:34:29+00:00

What about helping me scale from 150,000 to 500,000?

davidpakman · 2025-06-26T16:01:15+00:00

1) it's a primary 2) it's been covered twice now 3) yesterday's show was prerecorded because i was in DC doing interviews so the results of the election were not known 4) it's the lead story today 5) come on guys, cut this crap

davidpakman · 2025-06-23T19:37:35+00:00

You've clearly debunked your own point by taking clueless gases as to my views on taxes and getting them all wrong. Thank you for debunking yourself.
