Damm i'm a slave that makes 3k/m wakes up whenever he whants and has hiw own program hmm i wonder how a guy that has a shity job earning 400$/m (that's the medium salry around where i live) would feel ? ....
How do you define slavery? or are you talking about something else. How has Google turn us into slave looking at that definition?
well yes, i agree... but the point is, how can anyone enjoy exchanging hundreds of links? it drives you nuts. it's boring in the extreme. i don't understand how people can do nothing except exchange links for days and even weeks on end. i'd rather take a $400 job i enjoy.
It's what's gained from undertaking such tedious tasks which makes it all worthwile in the longsighted aspect of things.
right, i get what you're saying. but nonetheless i'd bet it still feels like working in a salt mine. besides, while that may have been true a couple of years ago, nowadays recips aren't really counted, and a lot of people who spent months exchanging links lost all their PR. i feel sorry for the poor folks, they spent all that time glueing soles onto nikes, then their shack burns down.
My main job right now is in property development and it's not the nicest of jobs, especially in the long-term aspect. Hence why I spend every night when I get home working on trying to make something of myself via the Internet. If it all fails then at the very least I can say I tried my best to change my life for one I hoped for. Perhaps your job/life in general is not too bad for you and comparatively you're wondering why people spend so much time doing tedious, soul warping tasks such as link exchanges.
well in 2005 i made a few sites and hated the promotion work, i guess because - unlike you - i did it all day, not just in the evening. i actually love developing sites, but i hate the promotion work. so that's why i got involved with the project from which the above excerpt is from. whether the project succeeds or not, i think something has to give, something's got to change, there must be a better way of organising knowledge-based labour (i.e. the production of websites) and of filtering the information (i.e. not via google). nick p.s. i really wouldn't mind getting away from the computer screen one day and immersing myself in something like glamorous like property development - isn't that what trump does? it sounds brilliant. (except for the environmental destruction aspect i guess.)
