Property brings out the consumerists in us.

After years of advertising my ground floor unit for rent the standard way (‘this is what you get’, pictures, $s, etc.) and talking up the sustainable aspects, hoping people with a sense of self-sufficiency and minimalism would be attracted to it, I decided to advertise what kind of people I was looking for.

      Thanks also for the suggestion re ChatGPT. I approach new technology with caution and am yet to learn enough about how to use it and what the consequences ofusing it are. Cheers.

      1. Wow that is amazing – haven’t seen the aussiemates address for years – don’t even know how to get into it. FB has 55,0000 points of info on us so it’s learning how we think in the big picture to put the ads in front of the right people – using AI there too.

    1. So true, my friend. Since my account got hacked and I rejoined FB, I’ve maintained more distance from it.
