Building a media company in the bear market is tough. There has been a lot of sleepless nights wondering where tomorrow's cigarette money will come from. But because of people like you, we pull through.
We are trying to do everything V4V and have been able to cover all our infrastructure costs. To be able to fund the project long term, we will have to be able to pay people which will get expensive quick. Honestly, think the best route to go is to get some donations and hodl them for a cycle, but the work we're doing is important and probably shouldn't be put off a few years.
Avoiding sponsorships is the primary goal. We want to road map sustainable V4V models of content creation because shilling is fake and gay. It's even worse to see that the spooks are the investors in a lot of these companies sponsoring everyone. The only real counter is the V4V.
Stacker has been one of the best places to get organic engagement, but also earn a little bit of cigarette money. We want to contribute to this community and watch it grow so we can afford more cigarettes for ourselves.

For a decent chunk of sats, you could write Bugle hit pieces on demand.
Hey! Would you like the Bugle to write about Biden and money laundering? If so, send 10,000 sats to this address and you’ll see an article within 3 hours.

I like that idea. Guy Swann does something similar on his website. I just need to become smart enough to build that. Hard to code from a type writer. Maybe my wife can build that on her iPad

What kind of support do you need to scale up? Obviously "more sats," but I mean specifically — more marketing, better servers, hosting? "Community-funding?"
What do you need to stay in the game long-term?

Probably the biggest would be follower growth in the short term, but that is not the way to monetize. We have some big things coming in 2024.
I think we can get the funding from donations to do some really cool stuff once we get building out more.

TheWildHustle would be more than happy to contribute time and energy to support the bugles nicotine addiction.

Good luck! Could I ask what’s the USP in terms of the V4V content creation you guys bring to the table?
