I talk with Carlos Perez aka CRLS/Carles about
-what he's been up to since ending HRO
-how he avoided burn out as the most prolific poster alive for 5 years
-the business end of HRO/how it made money
-his long-running anonymity / decision to finally reveal himself
-how running the most influential blog of the decade (anonymously) effected his IRL social life
-his influences / how HRO started
-gavin mcinnes' do's and don'ts
-the litany of now-popular terms he invented we still use today
-how he thinks HRO would fare today
-his writing style / what was "alt lit" ?
-being an influencer AND a news source / how he lifehacked that for traffic
-people "hate following" his blog then and people "hate following" things today
-his decision to end HRO
-the perilous state of the HRO archive
From one CRLS fan to another, I hope you enjoy!
