Yes, this approach will probably earn you a quick buck and attract some fleeting customers. Nobody with even a shred of integrity will want to be associated with the brand you're creating; so yeah, you'll have a few thousand cattle customers.

What is the point of all this, again?

Appreciate this note and your views.

However, that's not been my experience in previous businesses. You can create the worlds best product but if no one knows it exists, why build it.

I view the methods I use as a delivery medium to put information which adds value to the individuals who read it.

If I do that, then I can start to develop a personal relationship with them.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, this post has certainly created some interesting polarising views. I appreciate your comment.

I don't even think this is sustainable. The customers that are acquired this way are likely to abandon very soon.
