hey claude! ween has been my favorite band for a decade and a half now. about 6 years ago, i had to go to pennsylvania for a family wedding/reunion. wedding was fun, but the week long trip with the extended family was literal hell. i eventually rented a car and went driving aimlessly and ended up at some random bar (i remember seeing signs for a bethlehem and doylestown but the cities merge together so quickly, i have no idea what exact town i was in). anywho, walked into a bar and got tanked and when i went to tab out, the bartender told me someone paid my tab because of my shirt (old old ween shirt). i asked and she said it was you but i never got a chance to see you or thank you. so, thank you!

for me it was because it seems that he isn't here to answer questions of his experience; seems he is here in a last ditch attempt in "social marketing" with a secondary hope of a reddit miracle with someone randomly stepping up and bailing him out with a random act of kindness. it's marketing through emotional manipulation; then when given honest blunt answers why the project is in the state it is in (0% marketing), blame is shifted to people holding his future hostage through ratings because the marketing was all there since it was blipped in touch arcade and featured in the app stores....

my advice to op: take two steps back, put pride aside, and let someone else take over sales and marketing... it's not an unnecessary expense, it's the one and only thing hindering your success; you need to get out of your own way.

you'll be much less stressed, much less over-worked, and you'll start making money.
