Not sure if you remember, back then you could add “like buttons” from facebook on your webpages, and if someone would like it it would display “X liked ‘music saved my life’” (if that was the title of the page) on their timeline. Which would make a lot of people “like” the page by clicking on the like button located on the timeline this time. I had seen these english websites doing this with a lot of funny or inspirational sentences like that, so I created the first French website like that. I was in the top alexa 500 for some time, then facebook decided that this feature was dumb because it was, and all these websites died. It was nice money while I was still a student though :)
during my first year of uni I had to do a presentation about what I wanted to do in life and how I was planning to find a job and make money after graduating. In front of two professionals that were here to help guide students (and probably making less than me). It was graded. I told them that it didn’t matter because I was already making bank lol, they didn’t believe me and gave me a shit grade. Good times.
