I am so done with FOMO writing. Sure man, you found one with $25. With $25 plus your entire industry domain specific knowledge of where to look, of how to probe, of what else you may have accumulated and collected over the years of working within this industry. Let's stop with the gambling narrative and the illusion that we are all missing out.

I agree. This is so toxic! It feels like the Instagram of articles. "Look how my life is great" - yeah sure, you're posting only happy moments.

Not only $25 is not accounting the years of experience, but also all the failed attempts.

Should also note the math done on the token costs. $25 of subsidized tokens because he's on a subscription plan.

I can't agree with this more. May cooler, more compassionate minds prevail.

And nobody would post "I did it for free!" if they had done it themselves, but somehow spending $25 on tokens changes how we're supposed to look at it
