Does your morality stop you from making more money?

I'm in a situation where I know there's a lot more money to be made if I gave up my morality in business. For example, monetizing simps.

Altough legal, it just doesn't sit right with me.

Have you been through such a period? And what's stopping you?

honestly? no. as long as it's legal i'll make money off of it. when i was younger legality didn't matter either, though i did have red lines (no monetizing CP, for instance). i'm too old to risk federal prison now, so that has changed. yet my view on morality and business hasn't. i'm now putting together a new build with a 14 GPU capacity so i can do just what you mentioned: rinse simps. it will also be used for analysis and algorithms for stocks/options/crypto trading. i have no qualms about dumping bags on people in the market, and don't care if that position ends up going -60% for them. that's part of the game. morality in business can be a handicap IMO. that said.. i hope y'all had a great weekend BHW.

No, I was at this point of concerns and moral issues many years ago, but I surpassed it. It's up to you if you want to give up moral values and choose money instead, but remember that there are always consequences, either legal or mental.

Does - Not lying about results or false promises count?
Since I have occasions where I could have made false promises and could have gotten a huge sum of money but I didn't. Is it a morality thing? If yes . then Yes it does stopped me on multiple occasions from making money.

This isn't reddit or 4crap so simps and incels aren't vocabulary here.

I provide value when I can. If I can't, I donate to McDonald's and Burger King.

I never had an occasion to make a large sum of money by breaking rules. But I'm open to trying.

7 figures annum minimum. Or mid 6 figures. Enough to justify tricks.

Only rules that make sense are laws and commandments. But not all. Definitely it's not perfect. It can't be. As nothing is perfect.

Chasing ideal stuff is always a lost game. You'll never be perfect in imperfect world.

Think of yourself before morals. Then consider morals, once you do. And see by experience. Not by your imagination of morals.

People are too dumb to understand every black hat and "unethical" trick is played at them every day by multiple institutions.

Fckers are too lazy to put thoughts together and see big picture.

My world view is complicated. I don't like hurting people or being dishonest. The way I manipulate people is always equally beneficial for them as well. Everyones happy and no enemies. Sometimes you get less than what you could have gotten but I just don't roll that way. Mutual manipulation threw brutal honesty.

Yes. I do smma and other things, and I get at least 10 people every day contacting me to advertise things such as phishing sites, nsfw sites, drainers, loggers, rats, etc. Let's say that I hypothetically average $200 per sale, I would hypothetically earn an extra 2k a day. (I don't work with that typa stuff, therefore I earn less $ than others in my line of work)

It's interesting to see that there are people on both sides of the coin, especially from this forum.

Thanks for your input guys!

Yes, morality is a fckn pain in my ass.

Have a partner that took in a product that can actually hurt people, I've seen a few peoples lives start going down hill because of it in the last couple months.
It's a small portion of why I'm going to start a business without him, not the main one, but I can't support something a drug that can ruin a life. Even if it brings in more money.
It's legal currently, but I'm sure going to be banned soon, already a bill being voted on it in my state.

I don't see monetizing simps as something terribly immoral, a little bit in the gray area perhaps but it has always been around in one form or another.

Totally hear you. There's definitely a comfort zone in business, you know? Monetizing simps can be lucrative, for sure, but it can also feel a bit...icky.

For me, it's about building something I can be proud of in the long run. Maybe there's another way to tap into that same audience with a business model you feel good about?
