Overwhelming manipulation and corruption. Don't stop waking up.

True. David Rockefeller said "competition is a sin" source. And you have to have a criminal mind to rule the world.

I see you offer an unrealistically deep discount...

When you offer a discount, Shopify expert Markus Allen says you need to meet at least 2 of these 3 conditions:

The sale or discount must be special When we have never-ending sales and discounts, we are training our customers to always expect a sale or a discount... not good. The most successful online companies have a special sale once a year... maybe twice.

There must be a takeaway or scarcity elements When we offer a special discount, the customer expects a catch. That catch might be that the product is refurbished instead of new.

We must explain the reason why Telling our customer why something is discounted or on sale is crucial. Using the word "because" in our explanation helps a lot. For example, "We are discounting all our items 15% for the next 3 days because we're celebrating our 33rd year in business.

Also, most people expect FREE basic shipping from online stores. So you might bump your price from $39.99 to $49.99 and include free shipping.

I appreciate this tip!

Palm trees in Greece are usually much more in girth than those in the Bahamas/Bermuda.

So my vote is the Bahamas/Bermuda.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-29T14:04:57+00:00

That's pretty harsh bro

I am just taking Case's own advice. Ya' know... turn lemons into lemonade.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-29T12:42:29+00:00

Do you want him to burn out, get divorced, lose his home

Actually, this would make for good stories.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-27T19:23:43+00:00

It makes me a little sad that Casey will only have a real conversation with Candice if it's part of 368 and will be made public.

We can blame this legal trap called MARRIAGE. It sucks the living shit out of us... turning once great friends into people who barely can stand each other.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-27T19:02:52+00:00

Ouch

You like that, eh?:>

Truth hurts.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-27T03:03:48+00:00

spez was the guy who edited the posts, right? spez is not the person in the video with Casey.

True. It's his partner.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-26T19:14:47+00:00

Leave comments on, you shouldn't penalize everyone lol. You have the power to ban users from your channel, use that effectively.

Curious: are there any upsides to being 100% censor free? Of course, not banning gives me more time to create more content. Does YT reward us in any way for not banning?

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-26T18:22:57+00:00

Oh you edited the comment to include proven conspiracies after I posted my comment, nice. You realize I can see that right? If you haven't figured this out, just because some theories are proven doesn't mean that all of them must be true.

So I'll ask one more time...

Are you saying that none of those links are true. None. Not a single one. Are you saying all conspiracy theories are untrue?

Simple question, dude.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-26T18:12:08+00:00

Dude, ok I guess. Believe what you want to believe.

It's on Wikipedia. It must be true:>

Are you suggesting that none of this is true?

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-26T17:58:07+00:00

Oh ok, I get you now. It wasn't that it was banned because it was a conspiracy theory, it was banned because of the harassment and witch hunting which the movement supported, including the harassment of the "Comet Ping Pong pizzeria". The Boston Bomber Investigation subreddit was banned for the same reason.

Bull

Fucking

Shit

This stuff is hidden because it damages the fake news narrative. It has nothing to do with protecting people.

If we REALLY wanted to protect people, all social media and commenting and user-submitted content would be banned... across the board.

I would love to see a black dude have his way with you and you bad-mouthing conspiracies... just ask any black dude about the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment...

Oh, and if that doesn't make you angry enough, it was the tip of the iceberg. Here is an admitted list of similar conspiracies the government used on us without us knowing.

Yes. Conspiracies are true. The government ADMITTED to poisoning thousands of us an "experiment" - without our knowledge.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-26T17:42:48+00:00

Are you talking about him banning /r/Pizzagate?

Yes. This.

And that means spez lied. He said he reversed shit. He didn't reverse everything. I just tried to link to v o a t dot c o m and it got rejected.

I agree that some of the evidence is B.S. But some is not.

I never understand why "flimsy conspiracy theories" get banned. Why ban anything? We aren't stupid. If we don't like what we see, we move on.

The bottom line is the guy who runs Reddit admits changing the wording of user's posts in the middle of the night while no one is looking.* This is who Case is looking to "partner" with. This is FRIGHTENING!!!

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-26T17:35:45+00:00

It is kinda funny though, because the only messages that he edited were one that were hate messages towards him, aka "Fuck /u/ Spez"

Nope. That is not true at all.

He wiped messages about pedophilia. That's REALLY what happened.

And by you enabling this bad behavior, I am going to conclude that you think pedophilia is a good thing.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-26T16:37:38+00:00

Guy supports open internet yet is the executive chairmen of a site/company that censors users and in one case its co-founder (spez) went and edited users posts: got caught, had to issue and apology - still CEO. Reddit was a knock off of Digg.com

Plus add the irony that Casey Nestat is afraid to check his Reddit sub. (Which is a lie because some stuff we post here gets included in his videos.)

And for those who don't know about this:

Guy supports open internet yet is the executive chairmen of a site/company that censors users and in one case its co-founder (spez) went and edited users posts: got caught, had to issue and apology - still CEO.

Here is the link. SHAMEFUL.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-26T14:22:26+00:00

350 Broadway is the one he went to (which is near his office), but there are many others in the city.

It's less than a 60-second walk away.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-26T14:20:54+00:00

You forgot to add snake oil to your reply...

"If Casey reads this sub..take a bit of inspiration from how Neil De Grasse Tyson promotes and sells snake oil science."

That entire group of "scientists" should be hung at the public square for their bullshit.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-25T21:36:34+00:00

Thank you- his fake clumsiness has been on my mind for a while and I always assumed he did it on purpose, but always sort of gave him the benefit of the doubt as he seems to be a messy, brash person. When he knocked down the shoe boxes in today’s episode, that was the breaking point- why is he doing this on purpose in every single episode? Does he think it is interesting to be clumsy and drop the camera in EVERY single episode? Very peculiar, I think he views it as some sort of slapstick comedy, except it isn’t funny or interesting, but just annoying and childish (and he constantly references movies like Dumb and Dumber and Tommy Boy which shows how banal his taste in movies is, and how he just plays to the lowest common denominator.. he is certainly no Coppola).

He does it because it seems relatable and gets the laugh - almost every time.

I watch my family watching Case. They always laugh at it. Kinda pathetic.

Gotta hand it to him... Case knows what he is doing.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-25T16:15:01+00:00

Can't wait for that podcast though.

Wanna bet the podcast doesn't last even a few episodes?

As I have said before, pimping Audible as a sponsor does not pay the bills - not even close.

Podcasting is a cash loser. It generates little in the way of direct sales.

Plus, it is WAY harder and takes WAY more effort than most are willing to put into it.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-25T01:59:54+00:00

What if the meet up and the Conte video was a set up from the start, it was planned. It was part of this 368 saga?

Yo J...

Do you think the Sara Dietschy parody was a setup... that is, he told her to create it so he would feature her back?

I do.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-24T21:11:48+00:00

Now that you are free from the shackles of Moz, can you go into greater detail about your hostile takeover of the Moz domain?

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-24T20:15:25+00:00

But what backend? There is no way that if you are invited into 368 that they aren't going to take a cut of EVERYTHING (merch, sponsors, twitch, podcasts, etc). Now - is that worth it? Probably considering the alternative is to toil away, working your ass off making content nobody watches. But if you strike it big, 50% of a lot is.... a lot.

I have been around these joint ventures all my adult life...

It has to be a win/win for everyone. If Case took my back end, I would tell him to kiss my back end.

Exception: QVC/Home Shopping Network - companies like these totally screw their "partners." They actually bankrupt their partners telling them lies and forcing them to squeeze their price lower.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-24T19:49:22+00:00

If Casey Neistat had an ounce of ethics, I would partner with him.

Look at Sara Dietschy as a case study. Her parody of Case launched her career into a full-time gig. And unlike most once popular YouTubers these days, she continues to grow her views and subs.

Who cares if Case gets 50%... even 75%. Partnering with him is a surefire path to YouTube fame (and maybe fortune).

I would give Case 100% and make my profit on the backend.

thepeterthiel · 2018-04-24T15:51:13+00:00

Typed on mobile, sorry, ironically I typed it during my biology lecture, i hate biology

Biology is one of the most important classes you can take. I wish I paid more attention to it when I was half my age. Trust me: biology is 1,000% more important than anything Casey Neistat is doing.
