> Just curious about the thought process. That's all.

the answer is that calendly does not charge for no-shows and my time is valuable, which would match the worldview you’re looking for, and on the defensive perception, I’m not sure if you really understand the interaction proposed.

but if we were on the same page all along, then we also have a different definition of defensive since clarifying whether you are perceiving the same concept is not defensive to wonder about.

Like, isn’t there another comment somewhere else in my post history that would be better to question what you think an 8-figure HN user would be doing with their time? since you don’t know the value of the intended conversations on the calendly schedule, that requesting they charge wouldn’t be factor in supporting your validity or not of price sensitivity or inconsequential sums, and the other party would be charged either way, not me. I would define this whole thought process as a non-sequitur.

in any case, if you would like to talk more about web3 user acquisition funnels and how it compresses web2.0 ones, removing a magic based marketing industry and replacing them with paying customers, I'm available for that.

hey man, relax. i keep reading a comment from someone making an innocuous statement that isn't intended to imply anything about you, then reading a loooooong post from you explaining how you're DEFINITELY TOTALLY NOT AT ALL the thing you're imagining they're implying. take it from me, I'm really highstrung and defensive, you gotta make some time to breath over the next couple weeks.

its rational to be defensive in a skeptical forum where people will take a counterpoint at face value

no response has acknowledged the substance of what has been said in this entire subthread, only that I replied at all
