Lazy Money Issue 21

Happy Sunday!

So anyway, I realize we're all living in digital hell...BUT I think I found the solution.

The Story

I'm done pretending the internet isn't dead.

Yesterday I watched my 67-year-old uncle argue with a bot on Facebook for three hours. About vaccines. The bot kept responding with slightly-off English and emoji combinations nobody would ever use. My uncle kept getting angrier, typing harder, his face getting redder.

"ANSWER ME YOU COWARD," he typed.

The bot replied: "Friend! 😊🌟 Your concern is noted! Have you considered the benefits of cryptocurrency investment? 💰"

This is what we've become. Screaming into the void while algorithms jack off to our data and perform empathy like strippers perform love.

Remember when the internet felt alive? When forums had actual degenerates arguing about Star Trek at 4am, not ChatGPT cosplaying as an incel?

Now? Every comment section reads like the AI’s having a stroke. "Wow! Great post! This really resonated with my journey of personal growth and optimization." Dafuq??

Digital hell, everywhere you look. Dating apps are 30% bots trying to steal your credit card. Twitter is bots arguing with bots while bots watch and bot-like their bot arguments. LinkedIn is AI-written posts about AI, commented on by AI, liked by fake AI recruiters for AI jobs that don’t exist.

And you know what pisses me off the most?

Everyone knows. Everyone sees it. And everyone's pretending it's fine.

"Oh, just block the bots." Block them?? THEY ARE THE INTERNET NOW. You're not blocking spam anymore - you're the spam. You're the anomaly.

Wake up Neo, you’re the error in their matrix.

So we have two choices. Keep playing pretend with the ghosts, or build something real for the humans who are left.

Something they can't fake, can't copy, can't infiltrate.

We're going to build the last human bar on the internet.

How To Profit

• Digital Speakeasies

Every online "community" is the same soulless 10,000 strangers typing into the void. Another Facebook group where the admin's selling supplements. Men are dying for real connection, and all we're giving them is more screens to stare at alone.

Build digital bars that feel like actual places.

You log in and "walk" into a bar. Not another video call grid - an actual bar layout with tables, stools, corner booths. Your video feed walks to an open seat. Sit down at a table, you're instantly chatting with just those 4-5 people. Conversation sucks? Get up and try another table. Just like a real bar.

Each room has its own theme. The Bourbon Room with leather and dark wood for business and investing. The Garage with tool walls and metal to talk DIY stuff. The Den with vintage sports memorabilia. Max 150 members per room so people actually know each other. Physical membership coins mailed to their house.

• Certified Human Badge

Everyone's freaking out online. Women swipe through dating apps wondering if that CEO is real or a scammer. Men get catfished a gazillion times a day. Employers can't tell if resumes are real or ChatGPT fiction.

We're all playing detective, and we're all exhausted. In 2 years, being unverified will be like showing up to a job interview without ID. As AI gets better at faking humanity, proving you're real becomes mandatory.

Build human verification that actually works. Live video call with unpredictable challenges - sing happy birthday, show your fridge, draw a cat. Cross-reference their digital footprint because real humans have messy histories. Quick reference check with someone who knows them.

They get a "Certified Human" badge with unique QR code. Anyone can scan to see their verification video. Takes 20 seconds to check if someone's real.

The badge works everywhere. Dating profiles. LinkedIn. Craigslist ads. Email signatures. Anywhere trust matters. Charge $99 once, maybe an annual renewal. It’s like getting a passport for the internet.

• Rent-a-Human Marketplace

Build the human experience marketplace where you go for real perspective from real people. Not professionals - just humans who've lived it.

Someone getting divorced connects with a guy who just survived one. Can't get a date in 3 years? Talk to someone who'll tell you straight: "Yeah bro, you're out of shape and dress like shit. Here's what worked for me." Need business advice? Skip the guru course and talk to someone who actually failed twice before making it.

Everyone lists 5 areas they can help with - divorce recovery, dating reality checks, career pivots, sobriety, starting over at 40, whatever they've actually lived through. You search "can't stop thinking about my ex" and get matched with 10 people who've been there and got through it.

"Buy Me A Beer" pricing - $30 for 30 minutes. Just two humans having a real conversation. One's been through it, one's going through it. No credentials needed except scars and stories. Platform takes 20% commission.

The Ace Toolkit

FREE PDF: "How to Actually Be Interesting" - Look, in a world full of bots, the most valuable skill is being authentically human. But nobody teaches you that stuff. How do you have real conversations when everyone's been trained by LinkedIn? I wrote this PDF years ago when I realized most people would rather die than have an actual conversation. Reply with "NOT A BOT" to this email, and I'll send it over.

Until next time,
