The key takeaways are that MSCHF Magazine aims to subvert systems through fictional tactics and assumes no liability if readers try the methods described. It also covers topics like getting shut down by media companies, universal basic income, bureaucracy hacks, and spying on advertisers.

10-Second Consulting involves sending fake invoices for very short consulting work to large corporations to see if they will pay without verifying the work. It provides a template to make the invoices look legitimate.

The Uber Hearse exploits laws allowing funeral processions to ignore traffic laws. By using a hearse, one can theoretically drive however they want. However, there may be legal repercussions to actually trying this.

When we see a system, we gotta try to break it.

All of these things may work, and, equally, all may not.
We’re writing fictions of subversion on the platforms we exist on
everyday. We say everything’s worth a shot, but some of these
might have real repercussions. We assume utterly no liability if
you try these. In fact by reading this book you affirm that you have
read and agree to this provision.

There, our ass is covered.

That said, we’re gonna do it all.

This is how to use Spotify as a passive revenue


generator by min-maxing streaming royalties.

Spotify is a platform that anyone can upload songs to.


The majority of them are buried forever and generate
next to no money or fame for their creators. If you’ve
been on that side of the equation, we’re sorry.

But this is not How To Have A Hit Single*.

Streaming music moves money. It’s hidden from view, but


every song you stream sends money to whole chain of people
upstream.

We could, however, send it to ourselves instead.

We’re not seeing Spotify as a music streaming platform, we’re


seeing Spotify as a tree that grows money.
Let’s get gardening.

THE SET UP:
SPOTIFY

01.
Spotify pays the same for
a stream of a 1-min song as
for a 10-min song.
02.
The shortest song Spotify
will pay for streams of is 30
seconds. This is the most
efficient money maker.

03.
Spotify pays between
$0.0035 and $0.005

04.
per stream.

A 30-second song can only


be uploaded as part of an
album; the album’s songs
must average > 1-min

SOME PERSPECTIVE
This is the most efficient money-
generating song possible on the Spotify
platform; it’s still not much. If you care
about supporting independent musical
artists, buy their albums on Bandcamp or
from their labels.

UNIVERSAL BASIC ROYALTIES


UBI isn’t a solution - it’s a Band-aid. Be
skeptical of proposals for UBI that don’t
address the conditions that create a need
for basic income. Reject any proposal
that would use UBI as an excuse to
eliminate healthcare, arts funding, public
transportation, or loan forgiveness. UBI
can patch the wounds left by predatory
capitalism - maybe even long enough to
stop the bleeding - but it’s a stepping stone
toward a world where basic rights to life
are guaranteed, not bought.

In the meantime, when a corporation gives


us the opportunity to take back wealth,
well, we take those.

ULTING
MAKE CORPORATE BUREAUCRACY WORK FOR YOU!
Dealing with big companies is brutal, as anyone who’s tried to call
Comcast, the DMV, or a hospital knows well. Working with one is
often much worse. Freelance invoices are paid late, sometimes
never - a state of affairs that is wildly convenient for companies,
and wildly familiar to most of us as work moves towards
remote permalance.

There’s only one upside: when a company gets big and bloated
enough, just sometimes it’s more work to verify an invoice than it
is to pay it. When getting an invoice paid seems like a probability
game, the obvious solution is: send a lot of invoices.

HOW TO
10 SECOND CONSULTING
As a potential user of many a large company’s
services or product, you are uniquely positioned to
provide insightful, actionable, and above all valuable
advice to those companies. Doing this is, of course,
called “Consulting” and it’s very highly paid.

THE PROCESS

This is true in every state except: California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington. These states require the consent of every
party to a phone call or conversation in order to make the recording lawful.
