Something completely unexpected happened to me these days—or perhaps it’s something that had already happened before, but I failed to notice. This time, though, it hit me like an epiphany. It’s tied to OFM, this blog, ego, and money.
Let’s start with the most recent event: someone rather aggressively demanded that I take down one of my articles. I won’t go into the details of who, what, or why (though they may have had a point). What stood out was the unnecessary hostility. Their first approach was pure confrontation—driven by ego and pain over the article’s content. It took several interactions for me to understand where they were coming from and the true reason behind their request. I genuinely apologized, tried to make peace, and even offered them space here on the blog to address their grievance. Things seemed to calm down—until their final response, which was once again filled with anger.
As I reflected on whether to write this post, I remembered another interaction with a well-known figure in the OFM industry. This one was more casual: I had asked for feedback on the blog. They gave me two valid suggestions, which I ended up implementing, but their response was also surprisingly aggressive. At the time, I laughed it off as a joke. Now, I see a pattern—unnecessary aggression.
How is it that this humble blog, barely three months old and with a modest readership, has triggered such intense reactions? It feels strange—like there’s an air of tension in the industry. Let me be clear: I’m not a “peace and love” hippie advocating for kindness 24/7. I believe there are situations where aggression is necessary. But seeing this hypersensitivity and hostility among certain players in OFM is puzzling.
Earlier today, I received (pirate-style) some video courses from another prominent industry figure. These were private sessions, and the content is phenomenal—step-by-step, no fluff, just actionable advice. It’s exactly the kind of resource I love and couldn’t afford otherwise. However, even in these videos, the instructor frequently insults anyone who disagrees with their methods, berates some participants in the chat, and exudes an unnecessary level of hostility.
What’s different here? Is it ego? A lack of maturity? Are people mistaking a “take-no-bullshit” attitude for outright hostility? This made me think: violence and determination are not the same thing. You can be focused, tenacious, and relentless without resorting to aggression. Ego, personality and dick size are different things. We’re all grown up now and we all know that.
I won’t name names because the point of this post isn’t to spark gossip or drama. It’s to highlight this recurring theme of hostility in (some) of the OFM space. Am I too soft for this industry? I didn’t encounter this level of aggression in dropshipping, CPA marketing, YouTube guru circles, or any other digital marketing ventures I’ve explored over the years.
Reflecting deeper, I can’t help but see parallels between OF Managers and traditional pimps in the prostitution business—a world where violence often rules. Are we digital pimps? Do we need to behave like pimps? Or is it simply that the activity attracts personalities with a pimp-like demeanor? In the 21st century, the streets have shifted to digital platforms. We no longer fight each other for physical territory but for a common enemy: algorithms and security systems.
I don’t think we’re digital pimps. I see us as freedom fighters, united in a shared battle against a broken system. Miraculously, this time, victory feels possible—and it’s fueled by something as powerful and beautiful as sex. We can harness fantasy, sex, and the immense reach of the digital world to achieve incredible things in the physical world—thanks to the power of money.
Maybe it’s about money. OFM can generate significant income quickly—a dizzying amount for some, especially young, ambitious individuals who believe they can conquer the world by themselves.
And that brings me to a personal question: what will happen to me when I start making that kind of money? Unlike those younger people, I’ll hit this milestone in my late 40s, with a lifetime of experiences and lessons behind me. I’ve worked hard on self-awareness and building healthier relationships—with myself and others. But there’s a catch: I’m Argentinian, and we’re known for our inflated egos. With icons like Messi, Maradona, Milei, Pope Francis, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands (yes, she’s Argentine), and countless others, our national identity practically screams ego. And there’s nothing worse than an Argentinian millionaire with a big ego. I generated just a measly $400 in a few chats and already felt a rush of energy.
So, after all this philosophizing, it circles back to the age-old question: does money make us bad people? Or does it simply reveal who we truly are?
What do you do with OFM’s money?
How will I handle myself with a lot of money?
