@redpilled you can provide a paid only forum, access to which is on the basis of a vetting process involving an automatic test and existing members of that paid forum.

Also, if trp.red provides tools for the people running the Tribes to make their own money, they will gratefully pay a cut of that.

Another thing to consider would be, rather than a subscription model, a "lifetime" payment of something that would discourage Sybil attacks and spam, perhaps $1. This would prioritize your responses slightly above those who did not pay the $1. If you have fewer than 10 accounts, $1 for each may be worth it. But it would discourage spam because to try to automatically generate 1000 accounts, most of which will be flagged, becomes expensive. The money from the spammer subscriptions could even be paid to the mods and men reporting spam.

You can even make bounties, or "pre-tip" someone to comment on your post. This has been done in the world of open-source development, e.g. gitcoin. I have a problem, and need advice on it. I pre-pay an amount. If someone solves that problem, I pay. It could even be earmarked for a specific user, say, if I wanted a reply from Whisper. If I didn't like what he had to say, well, too bad, I can earmark for a different user next time. In the unlikely event that Whisper just replied with a '.' or other bad faith behavior, that could be a matter where the mods get compensated for their review work.

In general, if TRP finds anything that users can pay to other users, a business, or vice versa, or anyone else, and help get that flowing, money will come back to TRP.

One thing to keep in mind with any of this, though, is that $1 for a middle class, twenty-something nerd in the USA is very different than $1 for a teenager or for a lower-class guy in India.

Other ways to contribute to TRP, to earn instead of buy, may be worth offering to deal with the need for market segmentation.

@redpillschool using Patreon seems like poor operational security, given their habit of censoring anyone outside the ever-shifting approval window.

@Desaint The fate of his daughter seems to fit that hypothesis, too.

@millionairegymrat These were mostly European race people rejecting the idea of some kind of voluntary limits for going along with the program of unlimited reproduction, consumption, and stupidity like wars and imperialism to keep the idiot program running till everything necessarily crashes badly.

@lurkerhasarisen The original research that first used the terms "alpha" or "beta" to classify males was done on members of wolf packs, and it described situational behavior, too.

The males of other species, like certain kinds of deer or salamanders, will specialize on the basis of their sexual strategy to the point that they begin to look like different species, even though they all mate with the same pool of females.

@MentORPHEUS

Even open-minded thinkers, when presented with a thought experiment (but not serious plan category) called the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (Tagline: May we all live long and die out.) which proposed a social norm of zero rather than two children per couple, responded with out of character near violence: "That's the STUUUUPIDEEEEEST thing I've EVERRRR HEARRRRD!" (goes on with the program.) We seem doomed to quickly consume ourselves quickly into stupid and avoidable oblivion.

What do you mean by this? Wouldn't it, like most appeals to voluntary group behavior in the name of wider-group good, mostly be implemented by European races? What do you think was the impact of sub-replacement reproduction on the cultures who have more or less implicitly gone down that path already?

@Typo-MAGAshiv

@millionairegymrat why are you replying to something from 2 years ago?

IDK, he necro'd a few of my old comments into my notifications with likes too. Ones I had completely forgotten about, and made me say, "Damn, I'm good sometimes!"

It also made me realize how a concussion and untreated kidney infection that made me near comatose for more than a day, both within the last year, really fucked up my memory, and perhaps cognition too. :(

No, and his book has similar flaws, too.
