Ahh that makes kinda sense!
Tho I’m not interested much in porn - I am very pissed about credit card companies deciding for the users of what they can purchase or not. I believe crypto will help a lot with these overreaches in the future.

Since I am out of loop - my bias is still: why wouldn’t (furry) porn be profitable? :D

That’s also true :)
Sometimes for example hotels even if they are big chains, prefer to see a face.

Obviously not every job is open to people who show up, but if you just want any job - any small (mon and pop) store will be impressed.
Honestly I saw some job applications that peope would not believe…

The respect is the key word. Nowadays most people don’t give a shit. So when you do, you stand out. And if you treat someone with courtesy they will be much more favorably towards you.

I believe that asking respectfully won’t hurt. And if you are lucky you can get ahead of people who do not show up.

It’s highly depends on a situation. But generally speaking it does work in a lot of situations.

You want work? Clean up, print a dozen resumes - apply online (if they have a website), then go and show up in the physical location. You will be noticed waaay more than a silent application.

You want to solve a service issue: even with big probiders atnt, T-Mobile there is a chance that a corporate store manager can do something.

Sometimes even between offices it can help if you show up in addition to the regular channels.
Being proactive, clean and respectful can take you long way.
