Actually, there is no Iridium Subscription or benefits pertaining thereto. If you'd like to support the site, feel free to buy me a coffee.

Why subscribe to social networks?

Why, indeed? Would your business/brand/job search benefit from a blue checkmark, a digital gold badge, more bot views, or more vendor spam in your DMs? Perhaps you prefer ads from a further along the hedonic treadmill. Instead of being targeted for marketing seminars on mid-career upskilling, you could be ignoring ads with even higher price tags.

You're the product. You have what they want. You're paying with time and attention. You are generating the content and clicks they covet. Be yourself. You're enough.

As with any decison of what do you support with your 5 minutes of attention or $4.99 per month, invest it in something edifying or enjoyable.
