Sizzle & Steak: Hustling the Hustlers

Hustlers and the Hustled

Today’s Hustle Economy is measured in market shares of ‘influence‘. How many Followers do you have? How many subs (subscribers)? Comments? Likes? Views? What’s your engagement like? In an age when anyone can have a free digital soapbox to prosthelytize from our egos become our brand. So, when you attack an idea you also attack the brand; and when you attack the brand you also attack the ego whose identity is the brand.

Our livelihoods, our wellbeing, are vitally connected to with a Brand of Me which in turn is intimately connected to the self. The separation between man and brand becomes more difficult when his revenue stream(s) is dependent upon man and brand being synonymous. That brand’s value is also quantified and qualified by the platforms (soapbox) it’s based on. Lose followers, lose viewers, lose money and lose self. As a result you get pathological hustlers grifting on other pathological hustlers by selling them access to exposure, influence and and insurance for their very precarious-but-lucrative brand of me. In turn, this “insurance” is a buffer against losing an equally precarious sense of self.

From 2000 to about 2015 organizing live events and conventions was a fairly lucrative proposition in the burgeoning Hustle Economy. Being a speaker at a TED talk held a certain gravitas for the Brand of Me who was invited to relate his very important, self-affirming ideas to a rapt audience. Today, not so much. The TEDx series saw to it that anyone could pay-to-play and thus debased any legitimacy the original TEDs started with. I remember the pay-to-play grift that destroyed the late 80s’ metal scene in Hollywood. Show promoters would buy out a classic venue like Gazzari’s or the Troubadour for a night and then talk “up-and-coming bands” into playing the gigs. All they had to do was sell enough tickets to cover their portion of whatever the promoter had paid to reserve the venue. Whether the bands decided to sell their tickets at a profit or a loss was irrelevant to the promoters – they just had to cover the rent on the club for that night. Most promoters were making their money on marking up that rent, and a percentage of the alcohol sales they’d arrange with club owners. It didn’t matter if the bands were great or they sucked, just that they covered the rent with ticket sales – usually to friends and family to come watch them play on the same stage that Van Halen and Ratt got their start on. The promoters weren’t selling actual talent, they were selling the fantasy of playing on historic stages in L.A. to guys who believed they were good enough to play them. By 1989 pay-to-play was killing what was once a vibrant music scene that naturally culled the talentless bands from the great ones.

Hustle Economy conventions today are following the same pay-to-play graft. It makes little difference what the niché is – masterminds, hotseats, summits, etc. – conventions have become Brand Showcases replete with (gumroad) book signings and the hot girl “Booth Candy” to prove proof-of-concept (i.e. Receipts). Convention promoters care less about the messages of the personalities who speak at their events and more about the gravitas it brings to their event (which is also part of their own Brand of Me). And the loudest most extroverted (pathological) brands of that year always draw attention.

What you get then is a competition of escalation. Punch the biggest guy in the face as soon as you arrive in the prison yard or you’ll end up as his bitch. If you want to make a name for yourself as a niché marketer (especially as a noob in the Manosphere) you have to punch up. Call the biggest name in that sphere a charlatan or a hack and some of his followers might defect to your cult out of spite. Grifters sell other grifters programs and templates to ensure their brand’s value, which increasingly is tied to their own sense of personal worth. Mastermind sessions and “hot seat” workshops become psychotherapy for the Hustle Economy “Guru“.

Insurance of personal brand value will be big business in this decade. It will be sold using the same perception marketing that Instagram influencers use. It will be based on the same insecurities the Hustler sells his products with. Image is all – the Hustler becomes the hustled – but image is fleeting. Even mediocre minds can figure out how to jump on a current trend. Copy & paste a viral tag, aligning with something trending; all that is easy to do, but most niché marketeers lack the talent and insight to understand (much less foresee) a zeitgeist. Good hustlers borrow, great hustlers steal, but the true “ideas guys” are exceptionally rare in the Hustle Economy. Innovators and New Thinkers are the carrion that draws the Brand of Me vultures out in the open.

Ideas Guys

Hustle Economy carpet baggers live a very insecure and unpredictable existence. They are not innovators – they are fast followers. Not only is their sense of self fused to their brand, but their brand’s success is their metric of self-esteem. Their (often tenuous) mental health is measured in Followers, subscribers, views, comments, likes, engagement, analytics and clicks-per-minute (CPM). It’s never quality of ideas that define value; it’s only numbers. Money in the payment processor or number of email addresses on your list. It’s never ultimate causes / effects, it’s only proximate causality. It’s the number of trees over the health of the forest. But the numbers don’t lie, so the new teachers give the Lost Boys cigarettes, candy bars and cheap booze – or their emotionally proximate equivalents (hope). It’s what they really want, it’s what makes you money and it’s what your ego-brand’s long term security needs. Besides, if you don’t give the temporary salve for their miserable lives another Influencer has already copy & pasted your tags to lap you on the Hustle Economy racetrack.

Insecurity in self, brand, livelihood, sustainable ‘lifestyle creep’, even family relations are what define the Hustle Economy today. Most personal brands rarely last more than two years – at least in their initial incarnation. As such, there is a constant need for belief pivots and “brand makeovers” for influencers. Reinventing one’s “self” becomes a vital part of existence for the career grifter. And there’s a lot of money waiting the clever guy who figures out how to cater to this pivoting need. Those unable to adapt, or those who miss the cues of the rapidly changing zeitgeist, will become extinct. Only true innovators – the Ideas Guys – have any kind of real staying power, and that’s if they can roll with the social changes; if they can put off the ennui of seeing their ideas cannibalized and bastardized by the next wave of hustlers who will plagiarize their work with impunity.

What the fuck is up with all the crying on the Touré De France this year? Almost every stage winner has balled and squalled OVER WINNING. I’ve watched the tour for over 20 years. In years past, the winners were not criers. Last year they stopped the girls from kissing the men on the podium and they removed one podium girl and added a guy. Now most of the winners are crying tears upon winning. Is the tour becoming a beauty pageant? Are they putting estrogen in the water supply?

@Disqus & Zeta Glogal

@David Steinberg and John Sculley

Why are certain words for which there is no legitimate impeachment selected for blocking?

Why control content of communication in a civilization ostensibly founded upon no control of content communication?

Why control content communication in a civilization in which such control is virtually illegal where the very foundation of that civilization is dependent upon open unmitigated communication?

Disqus blocked several of my comments.

They flagged the comments I attempted to post here as “spam”.

I checked my Disqus account and discovered the comments that did not post were “Detected As Spam”

I deleted my Disqus account, it was worthless because the orchestrators of Disquis are evidently dishonest and hiding their censorship behind their cloak of “spam protection” filters.

I am now using WordPress to post.

@Rollo comments are still broken… what happens for me is that the link from ‘recent comments’ takes me to the comment, which is at the top of the page in the yellow box… then i roll the cursor over the box and the yellow box goes away but that comment stays at the top of the page… if i just reload the page, it’s just like i originally clicked on it… the yellow box is still there again… but the ad page(s) don’t show up again… then that comment disappears when i follow the next link in the ‘recent comments’… Read more »

I suspect the missing/not displayed comments issue is theme & plugins related. Perhaps you could try turning them off and systematically fault finding by adding them one by one? Or leave it without them?

Although this blog may not be your main channel nowadays, it’s the most valuable asset in many ways and it’s worth maintaining. Perhaps even crowdfunding its maintenance?

Let us know if we can help in any way.

@Rollo No, it was a Jetpack update. I’m monkeying around with it. Thanks for looking into this and keeping us posted. If it helps you in any way: new comments are visible under this post, but your direct replies under specific comments are not (at least not without a link to them – same problem @HABD described above). No recent comments when browsing the FR section either (maybe the current config doesn’t like 17k comments… btw what a score!). Here’s something I found about a similar comment issue with Jetpack: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-jetpack-comments/ Could it be some plugins conflict in this case,… Read more »

This site may be getting sabotaged. If you click on the first comment post below “sizzle and steak: hustling the hustlers – the rabbit hole” (which is not actually a comment) your device will be taken rapidly through a series of questionable links and ends up at one that appears to mine your cloud data. This should be investigated.

FYI A Voice For Men ?? Which men?? Hello Paul, I was a long time reader / viewer of your site and I’ve read all the books you authored / coauthored until now. Your writing is articulate and I do appreciate the knowledge and ideas you brought forth. Recently, I have commented numerous times on A Voice For Men. Unfortunately for whatever reason/s some of my comments have been blocked, deleted or labeled as “spam” although they are not. Some of my comments have been deleted with no apparent reason or explanation. Questions I asked have never been answered. Evidently,… Read more »

As I’ve only discovered your work today via a YouTube suggestion, I’m not familiar with the books & the jargon sufficiently to comment at length. I just wanted to say that in my own 60+ years of experience, I’ve enountered more than enough of the difficulties you bravely and wisely confront. I think we altruistic men find it unthinkable to contemplate the soulless human until it’s too late. Conscience would seem to be the primary indicator of the presence of a soul, without which the human is no different from the animal. Although this is not only a male/female distinction,… Read more »

What an awesome read! As a few others have pointed out your abilities with words shines best in written form. I’ve always noticed how everyone is looking for numbers when you mention that you appear in the public space. Sometimes as indirectly as quickly glancing over your follower count on Instagram before pressing ‘follow’ or the classic ‘so… are you like famous?’. I see as many men struggling with wisdom, self-love, finding purpose as I see men struggle with women. And practicing any of the above is usually gonna fix external problems. Speaking of women, they seem to love a… Read more »

Government says too many MGTOW and incels.

“Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley on Sunday night told fellow conservatives they must stop liberals from attacking masculinity and creating a nation of “idle men” who watch pornography and play video games instead of working and raising families.”

The following article is more about masculine vilification and promoting more lies than any concern about women and girls. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrat-feminist-warns-biological-sex Here are a few observations proving it. From the article – “….how many teenage girls have to be subjected to men walking around with erect penises in bathrooms and spas before our society comes to grips with the reality of what is going on?” and “And in June, a transgender person exposed male genitalia in front of young girls in the women’s section of a Los Angeles spa.” Why specifically teenage girls? What about older women, female toddlers and all… Read more »

Been checking out your video stuff. You’ve come a long way in a short time. Really great improvement in production, your delivery etc. Missing the blog posts though and the commentariat.

What do you think of posting your videos as blog entries, after you’ve done the live release and whatever monetization on the streams? That would give us a chance to kick it around on hear in between posts. Also you tube sucks at being able to go to specific episodes, the order etc.

Keep on keeping it on RT

Does this include gay men, transgender men?

“The University of Colorado has determined that men spread COVID more than women.”

They not only did no such thing, they didn’t even attempt to measure such a thing.

“Dan Goble, director of the CSU School of Music, Theatre and Dance, and colleagues raised nearly $100,000 in support of the study.”

Ahhhh, there we go.

Beta bucks zucker, top exec at CNN, to resign for office affair. Why is it always the man’s fault when its consensual and woman is using a more powerful man to leverage her career? Zucker got the red pill delivered to him as suppository. This after claiming to be male feminist and hillary supporter and trump is p*ssy grabber etc. lol

@Fact

Women only fuck betas like that for resource transfer purposes.

They actually despise them so when the resource transfer is finished, or couldn’t happen, they destroy them.

If a top female exec was banging the Chad maintenance guy, no one would know about it but she would be in floods of tears when he finished it. And she’d want him back, and he wouldn’t resign.

Check out pics online of his “girlfriend” Allison Gollust. Throwing away his career for below average attractive 49 y/o broad. If he wanted to leverage the beta bucks strategy, he could have been banging more attractive woman 10 years younger outside the workplace, and still have his job. smh

@ Fact It’s scarcity mentality. He honestly doesn’t think he can do better and he’s grateful for what he thinks he’s got / thinks he’s got. Comments are fucked and the place is almost dead now. It’s a great shame @Rolllo doesn’t do something simple to keep some life in the beast like @Sentient suggested. Even a feed updating you tube videos or something. But I suppose you need you tube visitors not blog visitors. While i’m at it, I now can’t see any twatter posts.
