Finding this page is your first step. Sign up for The Botnet today! Dear Reader, Although this is a form letter, please understand that I am intending to write to you, human to human. You're on a page asking you to join a mailing list. We all know how the current internet is used: The robots constantly yell their advertisements at you. Mailing lists, etc. and social media are used together to grow the list of people to send more ads to. Online "influencers" speak with conviction or charm, gather a large audience, and then read advertisements for anyone who'll pay them. The *entire goal* of this project is to break people free from that machine. This is one attempt by one artist to do something different. Obviously you want merch and musicians want to sell records. But there will be no product reviews, third-party special offers, "sales funnels," constant nagging emails, etc. Email currently seems like the best way to ensure that I can send information to you without it being drowned, buried in ads on social media. So put your name on the list and let's have some fun and adventure. -Rev. Jon Valt
