What is funny ? Many (or some) people want everything for free and above that, all the free stuff needs to be served on a diamond studded platter made of pure 24K gold (studded with real diamonds). And apart from that, also all the stars, moons, suns and planets too need to be procured and served totally for free. And apart from serving all that, total spoon-feeding needs to be done ... All this TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY for free.
WAIT ... WAIT ... WAIT : Even more funnier than that, is, if you inform very politely, them that all that does not come for free, OooohhhhLALALALAAAAA ... They get into verbal diarrhea mode and start with profanities.

When I was young, people shared information and knowledge freely and helped each other. Today everyone wants to sell you a mentoring/training/coaching program "how to get rich in 1min" for 10,000$

Even today, people share a lot of information and knowledge freely and help eachother. But, my point is : Imagine this scenario :-
Let us say, there is a backlinks seller who is reputable for awesome backlinks. OK.
Now, let us assume that I have never so far communicated with that seller.
One fine sunny day, I send a message to that seller : "Hi, please give me your complete strategy and full & complete details about how you get the backlinks that you sell" .... I mention NOTHING about paying the seller anything.
The seller replies "Sorry, as a seller of backlinks, I cannot provide you any details pertaning to how I get the backlinks that I sell, but if you want to buy backlinks from me, you are welcome".
Then I reply "Stop your nonsense ... If you cannot give me full & complete details about how you get the backlinks that you sell, then just go to hell"
How is the above scenario ? Quite funny.
Not only in the world of internet marketing, but also in the real brick & mortar world, it is quite justified if people cannot share certain things. On the other hand, ofcourse, certain things are shared openly and freely & people do help eachother.

Lol, That was the payout day, we were running an offer on large scale and we needed more networks to compensate for caps, they offered only NET 30 payments but we contacted them and managed to get weekly payouts, the f**** went to be scammers and just filed bankruptcy few months later.

Having A whole website get hacked from someone exploiting a old plugin I had on it, all pages were redirecting to offers and pron from the moment you click. Somehow I was excluded from this as even with caches cleared and fresh browser etc, it would never redirect my when I try to look at the site, so I thought nothing was wrong, but the biggest reason I was investigating was because I was getting 0 revenue even though GSC and Analytics show me getting traffic.
Something in my mind told me to google my site with my partner's phone, and as soon as I clicked my site I found out what the hackers did.
Wasnt getting any money because people were never even getting into the site.
It was my first time ever getting hacked so I had no idea how to fight it, and made the stupid mistake of contacting my shit host, who instead of helping me, shut down my website.......... and basically said "that's tough......... but having hacked websites are against our TOS so bye".
No help at all, as this made it harder for me to personally deal with the problem, which is what I had to do in the end anyways.
Thankfully I got it fixed, but I just couldn't help laughing the whole time because at every turn I was either being out smarted or Fkd over by the people you expect to help you.
Even more funny to me, is that after I fix the website and got it back up, for months the hosting company "partners" would constantly ring my phone down to sell site security packages........................ yes the same people who didn't help me and just shut the website down................... was ringing my phone down non stop to sell me shit after I already fixed all the problems.
Which, just to be clear, in order to fix the problems I had already needed to start using services doing all the things they were trying to sell me.
Their services costed 400 $ in order to provide a worse service than the 50$ security tools that provided all that plus more on the market.
No matter how much I told them I wasn't interested, the next day id have a new caller from the same business calling to pitch me the same thing.
They were so persistent they would call 3 times a day. I stopped answering because they weren't taking no for an answer. It took them a whole month to stop calling me, and everytime id see their number pop up on my phone id just laugh and hang it up.
