🚨 ADDENDUM II: Mandatory Conspiracy Consumption Fees™ 🚨
Because Fear Is a Service—and Services Aren’t Free
Dear Readers, Doom‑Scrollers, and Interdimensional Alarm Enthusiasts,
By perceiving the pixels of this communiqué—yes, even peripherally while reaching for coffee—you hereby consent to the Paranoia Premium™, a subscription surcharge equal to 3.14 % of every “mind‑blown” moment experienced henceforth. (See §3.14159, Infinite Tin‑Foil Warranty™.)
Failure to remit payment will trigger Foil‑Hat Repossession™ and referral to the Bureau of Catastrophic Conspiracy Compliance™ (BCCC™), recently spun out of the Bureau of Interdimensional Intellectual Debt Collection™ you met in February. Think of them as identical twins—one bills your thoughts, the other bills your panic.
🚨 Grand Announcement: New Mandatory Terms & Conditions for Reading My Substack 🚨
Dear Readers, Accidental Scrollers, and Unwitting Intellectual Debtors,
Section I. The Official Fear‑for‑Fee Framework™

Evolution gave us apophenia: the urge to stitch stray events into grand tapestries. We keep that reflex polished, upgraded, and auto‑billed at $0.99 per coincidence. (Family plans available for multiverse variants.)Outrage Algorithms → Adrenaline Delivery Infrastructure™
Every ALL‑CAPS headline our system recommends spikes cortisol, boosts session time, and incurs a Micro‑Jolt Surcharge™ of 8 dopamine units (converted nightly to DoomCoins).Conspiracy‑Commerce Pipeline → Doom‑to‑Boom Funnel™
Distrust mainstream media? Perfect! Our funnel routes you straight from Reaction → Subscriber‑Only Analysis → Affiliate Supplements That Chelate Nanobots™. The brokerage fee is baked into retail.
(For questions, consult the Algorithmic Hype Council™, a regulatory body staffed entirely by pop‑ups.)
SECTION II. Rapid‑Fire Fee Schedule™
1️⃣ Forward a “Silent War” meme
Auto‑charge: 0.002 DoomCoins
If you ghost us: The Foil‑Hat Repossession Unit™ arrives at dawn.
2️⃣ Whisper, “This can’t be a coincidence!”
Auto‑charge: 1 Irony Credit
If skipped: You’re enrolled in our 2‑hour Connect‑the‑Dots Calisthenics Class™—includes complimentary red yarn.
3️⃣ Experience a fleeting sense of hope
Auto‑charge: 3 Irony Credits
Penalty for optimism: Mandatory 24‑hour Doom‑Scroll Refresher Course™ (now with 30% more pop‑ups).

Section III. Infinite Tin‑Foil Warranty™ (§§ 4–12)
Covers defects in skepticism for the lifespan of the wearer or the lifespan of the internet—whichever ends first.
Claims require notarization by a time‑traveling notary. Processing fee: $42 (plus paradox mitigation surcharge).
🎓 Educational Interlude (required by the Department of Token Transparency™)
Behind the gags:
• Brains love patterns → we over‑connect dots (apophenia).
• Social feeds rank outrage → the scariest stories travel farthest.
• Fear sells → newsletters, supplements, and merch convert panic to profit.
Verify sources, read laterally, and always ask: “Who cashes the checkout button?”
(You are now billed 0.05 Reflection Credits™ for processing genuine insight.)
Section IV. Frequently Assessed Penalties
Algorithmic Non‑Compliance
Skimming without sharing triggers Engagement Garnishment™: we siphon 12 seconds of attention from your next cat video.Unauthorized Skepticism

Paranoia Premium: An Audio Exposé
Kerry × AI Audiobook (ElevenLabs)
After reading this, every corporate memo now feels like a potential psyop. Your deadpan delivery of ‘compliance is voluntary (per directive 12-B)’ is the kind of satire that lingers like a hangover. The Orwell we deserve in the age of Slack.
