To the younger members of this forum who are eager but aimless:
Just because something is available to you, doesn't mean you have to take it. Whether it's stolen celebrity photos or an entire site rip or when someone shares a bit too much out of enthusiastic altruism. You don't have to hoard all the low-hanging fruit. You don't have to spread and promote violations of trust. You can and should ignore it.
Sometimes we get lost in the drive to outrun an uncertain future and our sense of what's okay atrophies. We need to be reminded. Disregarding who might get hurt in pursuit of your own gain is not 'hustling' or 'grinding' or 'doing whatever it takes to win the game'. It’s being selfish and destructive. There is a real human being behind each and every word you read online.
My belabored point: The more my business grows, the more certain I am that entrepreneurship is hard for people, not because it's physically or mentally difficult but rather that humility and empathy are required and so few seem to have it.
