I’m sorry if you don’t like the quality of my article. But I felt I should respond to the insinuation that I’m doing something underhanded to “somehow” get to the top of hacker news.
I did absolutely nothing to get to the top other than submit the post this morning.
I have been working on my book as a passion project for two years. It is very unlikely that I will ever recoup the money I spent writing it, printing copies, researching etc.
Now that I’ve finished my book I’ve been posting articles on economics and geopolitics because it’s a topic I enjoy. I don’t have ads on my site, and honestly I probably lose money on hosting costs. I have had some success on hacker news and Reddit which has been a pleasant surprise - but Cassandra Capital is just me writing about what I enjoy writing about.
