Reading his latest, final(?) column, I read a lot of frustration and disappointment between the lines, so I guess, 'that's it', except, perhaps, if the 'yellow fever' took hold of him, and he came back to Thailand.

mommysboy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It was interesting for the first couple of years, which is no mean feat in itself. But he didn't really mature with his audience I guess. Perhaps there was no way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommysboy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I just read his final column, which was somewhat lame.

Rc2702 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Man's a dog and writes for dogs and every dog has his day and his is up time for some new shiiiit. I looked at his site once worst facking site I ever saw I was looking for the Wix logo it was that bad. I'm surprised he didn't start asking for reader contributions to help his 3 soapy massage a week habit and the PCP he needed to deface the day.

Watchful Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) "As much as I like writing this column and running this site – and as willing as I am to continue with it – it’s too much work to do it for nothing." It's interesting how something that starts out as a "labor of love" becomes "too much work to do for nothing". I've seen this exact same scenario occur on a number of sites. It seems that once monetized, the expectation changes. Early on, the hope is that people will read their "stuff". Once they begin to earn $'s, however, the expectation is that folks will pay more and more for their "stuff". You see similar patterns with YouTube vloggers. Early on, they only want subscribers, but once the ad $'s begin to roll, the expectation is the $'s will just continue to roll. Now, that the ad $'s has been radically cut, they morph into e-beggars and threaten to stop unless people "pay up". Problem with all of this is that with each site or vlogger that makes $'s, there are 10 copycats that want a "piece of the action". The number of demands for sponsorship quickly exceeds the number of those willing to sponsor, leaving only small amounts to go around. My other observation is that once monetized (sites or vloggers) they become "stale". The truly interesting ones are those attempting to expand their readers/viewers. It just seems that in that early stage, creativity is at the highest. It just might be that to breakout from the masses requires that the site or vids be unique or significantly different from all of the others. So, the question becomes, should we sponsor? Well, we need sponsors in order to create that "brass ring" that the vloggers and webmasters seek. It's just that I prefer not to be one and prefer to seek out the sites/vids in the "growing/creative" stage.

idman Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 He was his own worst enemy in this silly charade of will I stay or will I go?... He was supposed to disappear a few years back but sold the rights to the site and continued his weekly column being payed by his employers. Even with moving back to KiwiLand the weekly column was posted every Sunday afternoon. Then a few months back he started hinting once again that the end was near. AKA I want more money to continue as the tosser felt he was being underpaid and that due to popularity of the weekly column the new owners would cave in to his demands. Reality check for the guy, they stood firm and told him to go pound salt. The <deleted> picked up his ball and left the playground in a huff and hissy fit. As Clint Eastwood once famousily said " A mans got to know his limitations." Clearly in this case his ego exceeded his limitations. Adios Partner as you now ride off into the KiwiLand sunset.
