…mic drop emoji…this is what your $1k bought you!…for me (and something i will write and publish about in 2025) i think WOP’s greatest feature was community…it is hard to get strangers to read you, let alone converse, edit and give open feedback to you…that said quality is not guaranteed and as you note the skew towards certain communities representation was a limitation…i think anthropologically it was if nothing else a fascinating study in the type of people David attracts…lots of coaches, entrepreneurs, founders, a.i. enthusiasts…people from 100+ countries…in the end as is the case with most cohorts and classes and online products for online success i have seen the product itself teaches you someone else’s success story with the guise that their’s might work for you (see also Sarah Fay here on substack or the writer/editor you mention)…the hard truth about creating on the internet is that less than 1% of people can make a living doing this but greater than 50% of people try to…based on this math i am starting a cohort sometime next year that teaches people how to fail on the internet…i am calling it Wrong of Passage…i need to land on a price and am leaning towards one million in Fartcoin and/or an italian combo from my local deli whichever has more cultural cache at time of admissions…great read Rose…happy to know you!…

Damn. I’ve been trying to see it some other way but i agree with all these complaints. Pretty much mirrors my experience except I paid full price! I probably would not have published if I weren’t in the class but I’m still very unsure why I have published and why I’m planning to keep doing so.
