i make content. the content is nothing. you will pay for the nothing and feel enriched. curator of pointless facts, artisanal blurs, and content that vaguely suggests something was there before you subscribed. it wasn’t. the content is nothing. you will feel inexplicably seen by it. that part is free.
“i don’t know what i subscribed to. i don’t know what i was looking for. i don’t know what i found. three stars.”
“i sent a message asking what the content was. the message was read. no response came. i respect that more than i expected to.”
“i described this page to my therapist. she said ‘that sounds like a cry for help’. she was talking about me, not the website.”
the full blur experience. all six of them. this is your life now.
the images unlock. they are still nothing. but they are your nothing.
above, plus a monthly dm with one useless fact. hand-selected. (e.g., 'wombats produce cube-shaped poop'). still useless.

oh. you actually clicked subscribe. bold move. here’s the situation—there is no payment processor. there is no subscription. there is no exclusive content. there is only this modal, and the quiet sound of your expectations being lowered into the earth. you came to shpendium.wtf for what, exactly? think about it. take all the time you need.
ah. the free tier. you have selected “broke”, which is either an accurate description of your finances or a philosophical stance on the value of what’s being offered here. both are valid. both are correct. you now have full access to everything the free tier provides, which is the same blurs you were already looking at, in the same resolution, at the same level of nothing. welcome. nothing has changed. nothing will change. that’s the tier.
$9.99 a month. you have selected the “committed” tier, which is a generous description of what is actually happening here. your payment has been… not processed, because there is no payment processor. the images remain blurred. they will stay blurred. deep down, you knew this would happen. and yet here you are, committed. the tier name was accurate after all, just not in the way you hoped.
$49.99 a month. fifty dollars. every month. for blurs and a useless fact. there are therapists who charge less than this per session and they would genuinely help you. i want you to sit with that for a moment. you are paying fifty dollars a month to learn that lobsters pee from their faces. the tier is called “delusional” and you selected it anyway. that is either the bravest or the most unhinged thing i have ever witnessed. i respect it. i am also concerned.
actually, where do i find a therapistselect an amount to directly support the continued production of nothing.

your comment has been successfully discarded. we're both better off this way. your thoughts were likely too profound and your grievances too legitimate for a digital shithole like this to handle. take this as a sign that you should probably share these feelings with a person. a real one. or just keep them inside. it's what shpendium would do.
