Having some experience in sales for my practice/businesses, I love that comparison. It's very much similar. I despise cold outreach, and no part of the sales process is my favorite, so I've always very much gamified it in the sense that "the math says if I do this 50 times, I'll get a success."

I've not done enough of the sales side (I should do more), but I imagine that's the only way to stay sane.

One of the sad things about trolling is that it's an act of complete self-sabotage. I mean, how can someone create something worthwhile if they're too busy tearing other people apart? Not to mention the negative effects it must have on their mindset.
