In short, I am selling my attention by selling the right to put cards in my Anki deck, starting at the low price of $1 per card.
I will create and add a card (any card that you desire, with the caveat that I can veto any card that seems problematic, and capped to a similar amount of information per card as my usual cards contain) to my Anki deck for $1. After the first ten cards (across all people), the price will rise to $2 per card, and will double every 5 cards from then on. I commit to study the added card(s) like I would any other card in my decks (I will give it a starting interval of 10 days, which is sooner than the usual interval of 20 days I usually use, unless I judge that a shorter interval makes sense. I study Anki every day, and have been clearing my deck at least once every 10 days for the past 5 months, and intend to continue to do so). Since I will be creating the cards myself (unless you know of a high-quality deck that contains cards with the information you desire), an idea for a card is enough even if you don’t know how to execute it.
Both question-and-answer and straight text are acceptable forms for cards. Acceptable forms of payment include cash, Venmo, BTC, ETH, Good Dollar, and Doge, at the corresponding exchange rates.
This offer will expire in 60 days. If you are interested in taking me up on this afterwards, feel free to message me.
Proof that I have added cards to my deck (The top 3 cards, the other claimed cards are currently being held in reserve; -”is:new” shows only cards that have been given a date and interval for review)
Interesting offer. If you were someone who regularly commented on decision theories discussions, I would be interested in order to spread my ideas. But since you aren’t, I’d pass.
I currently have three cards entered, and the other seven are being held in reserve by the buyer (and have already been paid for). They are: “Jeff’s Friendly Snek”, “Book: The Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude Shannon”, and “Maximize Cooperative Information Transfer for {{Learning New Optimization}}”, where {{brackets}} indicate cloze deletions; these were all sponsored by jackinthenet, he described his intention as wanting to use me as a vector for propagating memes and maximizing cooperative information transfer (which prompted the card).

When I write up the top-level post, I’ll mention that you offered this for people who comment on DT discussions, unless you’d prefer I don’t
That’s fine! (And much appreciated!)
can I claim cards before choosing its content?
Yes, that is allowed, though I reserve the right to veto any cards that I judge as problematic
if so, I want to claim 7 cards

I’m curious what cards people have paid to put in your deck so far. Can you share, if the buyers don’t mind?
