It's actually not the truth at all, it's your opinion. Your comment contains theory and pop psychology popular in the West. But it is neither scientific, nor evidence-based, and many Eastern cultures do not view mating or courtshi

Can you tell us a bit more please? Did you essentially roll your own internal AdWords? How do you manage customers, campaigns, tracking, payments, etc.?

What's your definition of freedom? Freedom to make major business decisions or freedom from obligations and responsibilities? Running your own thing rarely means more free time than if you were working as a tech cog -- it often means m
