A blogger I used to follow, Steve Pavlina, shut down his forums like in 2011 after 5 years of running them stating that they were always completely irrelevant to his biz model. He's still posting to his blog, daily, having started in 2004. Still going strong after 15 years.

Nice, thanks for pointing this out. I am amazed by the quality of writing!

Nice random nugget:

> This isn’t a situation where you should look to the masses for guidance. When you see idiotic behavior, don’t let the fact that everyone else seems fine with it persuade you that it’s probably okay. Stupid behavior that’s popular is still stupid. A bar full of idiots taking reassuring cues from each other is still a bar full of idiots.

Prophetic ... applies to the corona lockdown perfectly.

It's correct, but since it's from last week it's hardly prophetic.

His name rings a bell - I remember reading his stuff about polyphasic sleep. Interesting guy, one of the first "Quantified Self" types I became aware of.
