Actual Thoughts I've Had, Verbatim...

[user328]

So let's get into this business of Microsoft spamming individual Windows users.

Microsoft has built out this platform of online office apps and virtual hard drives, similar to what Google has. They're trying to tie it into the Windows desktop experience. Ever since I got a Windows 11 laptop, I've been getting occasional e-mails from Microsoft trying to persuade me to use their online apps. Here's why it ain't gonna work.

(1) I've never used a Google online app unless I was required to by my old job. Why would I use one now that I'm retired?

(2) I have the operating system. Why wouldn't I just install an office app on that? Isn't that what it's for?

(3) I don't need a bloated word processor, online or otherwise. It's easier for me to format a page exactly as I want it with HTML/CSS.

(4) The vast majority of spreadsheets I've seen weren't used for numerical calculations, which is the purpose of a spreadsheet app. (Shocking, I know.) They were mostly used by non-accountants to make tables or lists of things - which is what a database program is for. Or a simple text editor like Notepad if you don't need to manipulate the data. Between MySQL and embedded solutions like SQLite, not to mention several Linux text editors, I think I have those bases covered. Again, no need for an office suite.

What else do they have in there? (I actually had to look at the LibreOffice menu to see what all apps an office suite has.) Slideshows? HTML/JavaScript. Drawing program? GIMP or PHP/GD. Creating PDF documents? PHP again.

So... office apps are the least useful apps I can think of for my own use. I sure as hell am not gonna give Microsoft my credit card info. so I can use theirs.

YouTube will typically ban massage channels. You can see why they have to, after watching the Russian chick video.

[user328]

Some of those massage channels have been up for years. There's nothing wrong with them.

I don't know which Russian video you mean.

That Fifty Shades of Gray guy wrote a bunch of filthy, perverted shit and did all right for himself.

That was written by a ladieh.

[Mister Obvious]

BTW, no female fantasizes about being among other females with the sexy devilishly handsome captor. I am not sure who you'll attract by writing a story where it's one dude and a bunch of women... other dudes I guess.

[Mister Obvious]

Only, dudes don't read literotica, so... it will not have an audience.

[Mister Obvious]

Not trying to shit on your dreams or whatever, but I am just pointing out that you're writing this from a male brain standpoint, and if your target audience is women, they will not like it.

[Mister Obvious]

If you wrote about a sex dungeon of only males, then you'd get a very small percentage of a gay audience somewhere out there in the world.

A harem of women though, that doesn't appeal to females on any level, not even lesbians.

[Mister Obvious]

Actually, you'd probably get more female readers if you did write about a sex dungeon full of only males, with a male protagonist. Apparently there are some warped women out there who are into gay dude sex. I find it absolutely disturbing and totally bizarre, but it's true, they exist. I would never wanna pander to people like that though. Why write entertainment for total freaks and degenerate scum?

[Mister Obvious]

Same reason I think OnlyFans is a total waste of time. Who wants to pander to cheapskate bottom feeders? Sometimes you're better off homeless and under a bridge, just saying.

[Mister Obvious]

Sometimes you're better off homeless and under a bridge, just saying.

It'd definitely be better for your reputation than selling pictures of your gash online, where it lives forever.

Hell, even regular prostitution doesn't have reputational consequences that fucking longstanding, lmao!

[Mister Obvious]

No one can even prove you were ever an IRL ho.

When you sell tits and ass online, all they gotta do is Google you to find out.

So fucking dumb.

[user328]

BTW, no female fantasizes about being among other females with the sexy devilishly handsome captor.

Hmmm. Maybe the perp kept the victims locked up in different rooms, and they didn't know about each other.

[Mister Obvious]

But the reader knows.

[user428]

Sometimes I read MO's posts like they are a literotica series.

[Mister Obvious]

Dan, that actually crossed my mind too. Hah!

[Mister Obvious]

But yeah... the only time a female reader would be okay with multiple females being the object of [captor] attention in a story is if those previous females are dead. So you can have multiple females in the story, but he has to go thru them one at a time and each time be totally convincing that they are the sole, absolute object of his passion. I hope that makes sense.

[Mister Obvious]

Well I mean...

I guess they don't HAVE to be dead. He just has to believably lose interest in them, and there has to be no way interest could ever be rekindled.

But TBH, it's your story, write it how ever you want. That just dawned on me.

[Mister Obvious]

I would certainly write a story how ever the fuck I wanted to regardless of how anyone else felt about it, and whether it appealed to anyone else or not.

[user328]

Only, dudes don't read literotica...

Sometimes I read MO's posts like they are a literotica series.

Lawlz!

Okay, forget about Literotica. I'm gonna write a whole story and post it somebody else's site? Nah.

But yeah... the only time a female reader would be okay with multiple females being the object of [captor] attention in a story is if those previous females are dead.

I was thinking that too. But I was kind of hoping the victims would escape at the end.
