anybody's got some passive income idea?

Adding a bug to some Fintech software that moves $0.0000001 to an offshore account.

i got an idea _about_ passive income:

it's what screws up our economy.

because in the end, it's "getting paid for other peoples work" - getting money for having money.

• 3D Printer + Etsy
• Build arcade cabinets (parts from AliExpress) and rent them out to cool kids startup offices and random events

@tosensei what's your thought on ad revenue from original content published to public platforms like YouTube?

@sariel ain't really passive, since you had to be active to create the initial content

📌

@tosensei shouldn't it become passive once you stop making content and it continues to generate income for you?

@sariel granted. that technically is "passive income". although i'd definitely draw a distinction between "later payments based on initial _work_" and "later payments based on initial _capital_" or "later payments based on _other peoples_ initial work", which most passive income is.

@sariel The YT algorithm is strongly biased against "old" content, so you need to stay active in order to keep getting new views.

@ess3sq idk about that. My feed is full of content from 3-10 years ago.

Often I'll watch half of a video before realizing I watched it a year or more before.

Invest in something you believe in and let the money grow with it

@matt-jd what do you say to the folks who believe in the my pillow guy?

REITs and Treasury bonds. It's a yawn of a ride but pays up in the long run.

You might be financing state-sponsored genocide but that's a Trolley problem - you can't exactly avoid giving bomb-makers money entirely, since they also own the internet and the electrical companies. So you can either embrace nihilism or capitalism.
