More thoughts

I get both sides, but I feel a little confused they couldn't find four people in their +25 employees

Data analyst (Are you seriously telling me you couldn't personally email or even just HIRE matpat's team who do data analytics as part of Theorist Media to help??? The man would be overjoyed to help???)

Editor (Put the first $6 towards a can of coffee grounds, dude)

PR Team (Even, like, a single person, please, for the love of god)

Business Major (Or literally anyone that has taken a home ec/budgeting/personal finance class)

First, the Dish Granted series was started when gold leaf burgers were novel, now it's seen as tone deaf (for obvious reasons) it should have shifted to something like interviews with people who make that kind of food or local businesses (like parmesan cheese shops in Parma, Italy) or the history of food (like talking about the history of modern Native American slavery on Californian wine vinyards). Not to mention the untapped potential of Food Fraud topics. Either shift it, or scrap it. Any data analyst or chronically online person could tell you that.

Second, why did you keep "anyone can afford $6 a month" in? Are the editors asleep at the wheel? Are they overworked? What is going on? You know damn well to not make generalizations about what people can afford. That's NEVER a good idea, especially when you KNOW (because YT gives you analytics) that most of your viewers are young (16/18-30/35 range, I'd guess) who probably, either 1, are still in school and either arent paid well/dont have jobs OR 2, arent paid well and tired of people's shit, like people who own businesses talking about "tough financial decisions." To them, Watcher isn't going to look different from the other people talking like that, because this was so sudden, with no input from fans, and in the video you hear shit like "anyone can afford [X]." To be frank, it wouldn't really matter what the amount is, because that generalization goes against the message they have stood by for years. THAT is a slap in the face.

Third, what are yall doing with the budgeting? Every artist has a right to make art that they are proud of. Every artist deserves to have their work seen if they so choose. Every artist deserves to make a living. HOWEVER, there are MANY options online when it comes to making money, especially on YT. You could get into marketing, data analysis, expanding your demographic, looking at what people are interested in right now VS what will stand the test of time (not gold leaf burgers), etc.

You have to either have these skills, develop these skills, or hire someone to do it for you. It's understandable that you would want a team behind the production, but I find +25 employees to be WAY too many people, especially in LA. Bailey Sarian has a Dark History section on her YT (and Spotify podcast) where she has hired historians to help make sure her episodes are as accurate as possible. You've caught heat before from Puppet History's missing & incorrect info, you should do the same. She has about three (3) "intermissions" per episode for ad breaks. I never see anyone complain. People WOULD listen to yall talk for that long (+1 hour videos), tbh, though that's not necessary.

Why are yall out here with Teslas, expensive food, new gear, scripts (where there weren't scripts before, PH is different, that makes sense), and "better than TV" level sets??? I need to put your accountant in this week's church prayer list what the actual hell??? Ya'll, this video is literally the meme:

Guys help me budget:

LA Rent: 2K per month

Videos: 100K per vid

+25 Employees: God only knows

New stuff for videos: Don't get me started

Like, are you serious?

You have a right to do whatever you want with your art. You have a right to charge whatever you'd like for that art. You have a right to make a living from your art and you have a right to ask your fans for money.

Your fans have a right to be angry when they've been supporting yall for, what, almost 10 years? They have a right to choose when and where to spend their money even when you've made an impact. They have a right to feel betrayed, especially when there are better options (like Nebula or consulting with Theorist Media).

Fans DO NOT have a right to be racist to any members of Watcher, now that they have made a decision they do not agree with.

I personally, think this is a really silly decision and could have been solved (haha solved) with a simple YT poll, but apparently we had to get... this. I respect their decision, I just don't think it was a smart one. I wish them the best, and I hope they find a better solution. Any further comment from me will depend on what steps they take next.

Craft targeted pitches that resonate with their specific needs, and cultivate strategic partnerships that feel like cosmically ordained alliances.

Hone your negotiation skills like a celestial diplomat, securing lower interest rates and crafting repayment plans that fit your budget like a cosmic glove. Make extra payments with the fervor of a moonbeam illuminating a dark cave, watching those numbers shrink faster than a vampire in sunlight. Embrace the sweet liberation of financial freedom, feeling the weight of debt lift like a cosmic spell dissolving, leaving you empowered and ready to conquer your financial Everest.

Savvy Investments: Research, compare, analyze – Virgo's energy is perfect for making informed investment decisions. Seek advice from trusted professionals and prioritize long-term stability over short-term gains.

Transform into a celestial stockbroker under the Virgo Moon! Put on your research goggles and analyze potential investments like a cosmic detective, comparing, contrasting, and sniffing out hidden risks. Consult trusted financial oracles for guidance, but ultimately, let your own Virgo-honed discernment be your compass.

Two months ago, Lin Rui-siang, a young Taiwanese man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a white polo shirt, stood behind a lectern emblazoned with the crest of the St. Lucia police, giving a presentation titled “Cyber Crime and Cryptocurrency” in nearly fluent English to a roomful of cops from the tiny Caribbean country.

The St. Lucia government would later issue a press release lauding the success of Lin's training course, which had been organized by the Taiwanese embassy, where Lin worked as a diplomatic specialist in IT. The statement boasted that 30 officers had learned “nuances of the dark web" and cryptocurrency tracing skills from Lin, who had “used his professional background and qualifications in the field" to teach them how to better combat cybercrime.

Only earlier this week did it become clear exactly what Lin's “professional background and qualifications in the field” allegedly entailed, seemingly unbeknownst to either his Taiwanese employers or his St. Lucian law enforcement trainees. For nearly four years, according to the US Justice Department, 23-year-old Lin ran a dark-web drug market called Incognito that authorities say enabled the sale of at least $100 million worth of narcotics, ranging from MDMA to heroin for cryptocurrencies including bitcoin and monero. That was before Lin's alleged theft of his own users' funds earlier this year and then his arrest last week by the FBI in New York's JFK airport.

Over his years working as a cryptocurrency-focused intern at Cathay Financial Holdings in Taipei and then as a young IT staffer at St. Lucia's Taiwanese embassy, Lin allegedly lived a double life as a dark-web figure who called himself “Pharoah" or “faro”—a persona whose track record qualifies as remarkably strange and contradictory even for the dark web, where secret lives are standard issue. In his short career, Pharoah launched Incognito, built it into a popular crypto black market with some of the dark web's better safety and security features, then abruptly stole the funds of the market's customers and drug dealers in a so-called “exit scam” and, in a particularly malicious new twist, extorted those users with threats of releasing their transaction details.

During those same busy years, Pharoah also launched a web service called Antinalysis, designed to defeat crypto money laundering countermeasures—only for Lin, who prosecutors say controlled that Pharoah persona, to later refashion himself as a crypto-focused law enforcement trainer. Finally, despite his supposed expertise in cryptocurrency tracing and digital privacy, it was Lin's own relatively sloppy money trails that, the DOJ claims, helped the FBI to trace his real identity.

Among all those incongruities, though, it's the image of Lin giving his cryptocurrency crime training in St. Lucia—which Lin proudly posted to his LinkedIn account—that shocked Tom Robinson, a cofounder of the blockchain analysis firm Elliptic, who has long tracked Lin's alleged Pharoah alter ego. “This is an alleged dark-net market admin standing in front of police officers, showing them how to use blockchain analytics tools to track down criminals online,” says Robinson. “Assuming he is who the FBI says he is, it's incredibly ironic and brazen.”

Pharoah the Kingpin—and Extortionist

Lin has been charged with not only narcotics conspiracy and money laundering but also running a “continuing criminal enterprise,” the so-called “kingpin statute” reserved for organized crime leaders who allegedly oversaw at least five employees. For that charge alone, he faces a potential life sentence.

In the DOJ's criminal complaint against Lin, it points to a handwritten document the FBI pulled from his email, which appears to sketch out a flow chart for a dark-web market's mechanics. The complaint's FBI affidavit says Lin emailed himself the sketch in March 2020 when he was at most 19 years old. It describes functionality such as how “vendors” and “buyers” would register, make purchases, and encrypt shipping addresses. Seven months later, Lin would allegedly launch Incognito Market.

According to the FBI, the market took nearly a year to catch on, with virtually no sales during that time. But by late 2021, Incognito had started to attract users, and by the middle of 2022, the market had drawn enough vendors and sellers to generate more than $1.5 million a month in sales.

A 2022 Twitter thread about Incognito posted by Eileen Ormsby, an author of several dark-web-focused books including The Darkest Web, shows how the market by that time had added features that may have helped it to catch the attention of security- and safety-conscious users. It required that new users demonstrate they could use the encryption tool PGP before entering the market, prompted them to take a security quiz, allowed buyers to spend the more privacy-focused cryptocurrency monero as well as bitcoin, encouraged dealers to post results from a fentanyl test to certify their product was “fent free,” and even experimented with democratic voting for market-wide decisions.

By the summer of 2023, Incognito had spiked in popularity and was approaching $5 million a month in sales. Then in March of this year, the site suddenly dropped offline, taking all the funds stored in buyers' and sellers' wallets with it. A few days later, the site reappeared with a new message on its homepage. “Expecting to hear the last of us yet?” it read. “We got one final little nasty surprise for y'all.”

The message explained that Incognito was now essentially blackmailing its former users: It had stored their messages and transaction records, it said, and added that it would be creating a “whitelist portal” where users could pay a fee—which for some dealers would later be set as high as $20,000—to remove their data before all the incriminating information was leaked online at the end of this month. “YES THIS IS AN EXTORTION!!!” the message added.

In retrospect, Ormsby says that the site's apparent user-friendliness and its security features were perhaps a multiyear con laying the groundwork for its endgame, a kind of user extortion never seen before in dark-web drug markets. “Maybe the whole thing was set up to create a false sense of security,” Ormsby says. “The extorting thing is completely new to me. But if you've lulled people into a sense of security, I guess it's easier to extort them.”

In total, Incognito Market promised to leak more than half a million drug transaction records if buyers and sellers didn't pay to remove them from the data dump. It's still not clear whether the market's administrator—Lin, according to prosecutors, whom they accuse of personally carrying out the extortion campaign—planned to follow through on the threat: He appears to have been arrested before the deadline set for the victims of the Incognito blackmail.

An Expert in ‘Anti Anti-Money Laundering’

At the same time the FBI says Lin was laying the groundwork for this double-cross, he also appears to have briefly tried engineering an entirely different scheme. In the summer of 2021, during Incognito Market's relatively quiet first year, Lin's alleged alter ego, Pharoah, launched a service called Antinalysis, a website designed to analyze blockchains and let users check—for a fee—whether their cryptocurrency could be connected to criminal transactions.

In a post to the dark-web market forum Dread, Pharoah made clear that Antinalysis was designed not to help anti-money-laundering investigators, but rather those who sought to evade them—presumably including his own dark-web market's users. “Our goals do not lie in aiding the surveillance autocracy of state-sponsored agencies,” Pharoah's post read. “This service is dedicated to individuals that have the need to possess complete privacy on the blockchain, offering a perspective from the opponent's point of view in order for the user to comprehend the possibility of his/her funds getting flagged down under autocratic illegal charges.”

After independent cybersecurity reporter Brian Krebs wrote about the Antinalysis service in August 2021, describing it as an “anti anti-money laundering service for crooks,” Pharoah posted another message complaining that Antinalysis had lost access to its blockchain data source, which Krebs had identified as the anti-money-laundering tool AMLBot, and that it would be going offline. “Stay posted and fuck LE," Pharoah wrote, using the abbreviation LE to mean “law enforcement.” Antinalysis eventually returned, however, and pivoted last year to acting instead as a service for swapping bitcoin for monero and vice versa.

Meanwhile, Lin appears to have maintained his obsession with cryptocurrency tracing and blockchain analysis: His final LinkedIn post last week before his arrest in New York announced that he had become a certified user of Reactor, the crypto tracing tool sold by blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis. “I'm excited to share that I've completed Chainalysis's new qualification: Chainalysis Reactor Certification (CRC)!” Lin wrote in Mandarin. His last X post shows a Chainalysis diagram of money flows between dark-web markets and cryptocurrency exchanges.

It's not clear whether Lin obtained his Chainalysis certification to bolster a new career training law enforcement in blockchain analysis or, if US prosecutors are to be believed, to advance his previous alleged career as a dark-web criminal. But it raises the troubling possibility that a former dark-web kingpin—one who was still extorting his own users—was perhaps playing both sides of the crypto tracing game, says Elliptic's Tom Robinson.

“There’s a larger issue here about bad actors accessing blockchain analytics tools,” says Robinson. “That is a potentially risky situation, where someone who’s in the process of laundering proceeds of crime can check in commercially available tools whether they have laundered them such that they can get away with it.” Running certain checks in those tools might even allow someone to determine if they're being actively investigated by law enforcement, Robinson says.

WIRED reached out to Chainalysis to ask about Lin's Reactor certification and what sort of safeguards prevent criminals from using the company's software, but the company declined to comment.

If Lin did hope to evade law enforcement by becoming an expert in crypto tracing himself, he was far too late to avoid creating his own blockchain trail of evidence: In January of this year, the FBI says it somehow identified a central Incognito server and obtained a search warrant for its contents. That allowed investigators to identify a bitcoin wallet stored there, which the FBI says Lin had also carelessly used to pay web registrar Namecheap for four web domains—including one that tracked which dark-web markets were online or down—and register them under his own name.

Although the FBI says Lin tried to swap his bitcoins for harder-to-trace monero before cashing out the cryptocurrency at an exchange, the criminal complaint points to timing and amount correlations that nonetheless allowed the FBI to follow his funds to a crypto exchange where he allegedly liquidated the dirty funds. That exchange account, too, was registered in Lin's real name, according to the DOJ.

The operational security mistakes the FBI describes suggest that, regardless of which side of the cryptocurrency cat-and-mouse game Lin intended to end up on, he was far from a criminal mastermind. His brief, strange journey from alleged kingpin to crypto crime expert ultimately provides plenty of lessons to criminals and law enforcement alike—though probably not the ones he intended.

The Power of Doing Your Own Research (DYOR) in the World of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies

In today's digital age, information is more accessible than ever before. With a few clicks, you can find countless articles, videos, and social media posts about almost any topic. This is especially true for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. While this abundance of information can be empowering, it also comes with the risk of misinformation and hype-driven narratives. This is why it’s crucial to emphasize the importance of doing your own research (DYOR) before making any financial decisions.

The Cryptocurrency Information Overload

The cryptocurrency space is notoriously fast-paced and filled with complex jargon. From blockchain technology to decentralized finance (DeFi), understanding the basics can be overwhelming. Moreover, the crypto market is often subject to wild speculation and hype, leading to sensational headlines and exaggerated claims. While some sources provide valuable insights, others might be misleading or outright false. In this environment, DYOR becomes not just a recommendation but a necessity.

Why DYOR Matters

Understanding the Fundamentals: When you conduct your own research, you gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This includes learning about the technology, the problem it aims to solve, its potential applications, and the risks involved. A solid grasp of these basics will help you make informed decisions and avoid falling for scams or overhyped projects.

Avoiding Hype and FOMO: The fear of missing out (FOMO) is a powerful force in the crypto market. It can drive individuals to make impulsive decisions based on hype rather than sound analysis. By doing your own research, you can evaluate the true potential of a project or investment, rather than relying on the opinions of others. This disciplined approach helps you avoid the pitfalls of hype-driven investments.

Building Confidence: Investing in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can be a volatile journey. Conducting your own research instills confidence in your decisions. When you understand why you are investing in a particular asset, you are more likely to stay committed to your investment strategy, even during market downturns.

Identifying Opportunities: The crypto market is filled with opportunities, but not all of them are immediately obvious. Through thorough research, you can identify promising projects and investment opportunities that others might overlook. This proactive approach can lead to more profitable outcomes.

How to Do Your Own Research

Diverse Sources: Don’t rely on a single source of information. Read articles, watch videos, listen to podcasts, and follow reputable figures in the crypto space. Cross-referencing information from multiple sources helps ensure accuracy and provides a well-rounded perspective.

Official Documentation: Always review official documents such as whitepapers, technical papers, and project websites. These sources offer detailed insights into a project's vision, technology, and roadmap.

Community Engagement: Engage with the community through forums, social media, and discussion groups. Platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Telegram host vibrant discussions where you can ask questions and get diverse viewpoints. Be cautious, however, as not all advice you encounter will be accurate or trustworthy.

Critical Thinking: Approach every piece of information with a critical mindset. Question the credibility of the source, the validity of the claims, and the underlying motivations. This analytical approach helps you separate valuable insights from noise.

Stay Updated: The crypto space evolves rapidly. Continuously updating your knowledge helps you stay informed about new developments, regulatory changes, and market trends.

Conclusion

In the dynamic world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, doing your own research is not just a best practice—it’s an essential skill. By taking the time to educate yourself, you empower yourself to make informed, confident, and rational investment decisions. Remember, the journey to financial freedom through Bitcoin starts with knowledge and understanding. So, embrace the DYOR mindset and take control of your financial future.

What is Customer Analytics? – The Importance of Understanding It

Consumers have clear expectations when selecting products or services. Business leaders need to understand what influences customer decisions. By leveraging advanced analytics and engaging in data analytics consulting, they can pinpoint these factors and improve customer experiences to boost client retention. This article will explore the importance of customer analytics.

Understanding Customer Analytics

Customer analytics involves applying computer science, statistical modeling, and consumer psychology to uncover the logical and emotional drivers behind consumer behavior. Businesses and sales teams can work with a customer analytics company to refine customer journey maps, leading to better conversion rates and higher profit margins. Furthermore, they can identify disliked product features, allowing them to improve or remove underperforming products and services.

Advanced statistical methods and machine learning (ML) models provide deeper insights into customer behavior, reducing the need for extensive documentation and trend analysis.

Why Customer Analytics is Essential

Reason 1 — Boosting Sales

Insights into consumer behavior help marketing, sales, and CRM teams attract more customers through effective advertisements, customer journey maps, and post-purchase support. Additionally, these insights, provided through data analytics consulting, can refine pricing and product innovation strategies, leading to improved sales outcomes.

Reason 2 — Automation

Advances in advanced analytics services have enhanced the use of ML models for evaluating customer sentiment, making pattern discovery more efficient. Consequently, manual efforts are now more manageable, as ML and AI facilitate automated behavioral insight extraction.

Reason 3 — Enhancing Long-Term Customer Relationships

Analytical models help identify the best experiences to strengthen customers’ positive associations with your brand. This results in better reception, positive word-of-mouth, and increased likelihood of customers reaching out to your support team rather than switching to competitors.

Reason 4 — Accurate Sales and Revenue Forecasting

Analytics reveal seasonal variations in consumer demand, impacting product lines or service packages. Data-driven financial projections, supported by data analytics consulting, become more reliable, helping corporations adjust production capacity to optimize their average revenue per user (ARPU).

Reason 5 — Reducing Costs

Cost per acquisition (CPA) measures the expense of acquiring a customer. A decrease in CPA signifies that conversions are becoming more cost-effective. Customer analytics solutions can enhance brand awareness and improve CPA. Benchmarking against historical CPA trends and experimenting with different acquisition strategies can help address inefficiencies and optimize marketing spend.

Reason 6 — Product Improvements

Customer analytics provides insights into features that can enhance engagement and satisfaction. Understanding why customers switch due to missing features or performance issues allows production and design teams to identify opportunities for innovation.

Reason 7 — Optimizing the Customer Journey

A customer journey map outlines all interaction points across sales funnels, complaint resolutions, and loyalty programs. Customer analytics helps prioritize these touchpoints based on their impact on engaging, retaining, and satisfying customers. Address risks such as payment issues or helpdesk errors by refining processes or implementing better CRM systems.

Conclusion

Understanding the importance of customer analytics is crucial for modern businesses. It offers significant benefits, including enhancing customer experience (CX), driving sales growth, and preventing revenue loss. Implementing effective strategies for CPA reduction and product performance is essential, along with exploring automation-compatible solutions to boost productivity. Customer insights drive optimization and brand loyalty, making collaboration with experienced analysts and engaging in data analytics consulting a valuable asset in overcoming inefficiencies in marketing, sales, and CRM.
