"you can get really wealthy and still trim your peach trees at 2pm."

@mhp_guy's case against the billion-dollar exit: constraints make you creative, and money raised has zero correlation with success. hit $10M working 40-hour weeks and actually be around to enjoy it.

the lifestyle business isn't the consolation prize. it's the goal.

creators and publishers should own and control their work

I’m thrilled to announce beehiiv’s partnership with @Cloudflare

making @beehiiv the first content platform that gives publishers and creators control over which AI bots can access their content

[Steven Van @stevenvan_]

NEW in @beehiiv: Host live events for up to 10,000 attendees, natively in beehiiv.

Native video, screen sharing, and chat. Sell tickets in 10 currencies, send automated reminders, and record sessions to resell as products.

All without leaving your newsletter platform.

[Tyler Denk 🐝 @denk_tweets]

yeah, but substack *is* another social media app

it's another algorithmic feed that users don't control

it's another social platform that promotes ragebait, like your #1 bestseller andrew tate (great get btw)

it's another "creator-first" platform with a predatory take rate on their earnings

the moment users upload their audience to substack, they are prompted to download your app (repeatedly)

that's not their audience anymore, that's *your* user. that you collect data on. that you send push notifications to. that you are trying to monetize.

without being able to export followers, and pushing people to use apple's in-app purchase ... these creators actually can't leave the substack ecosystem.

so who are they really at the whims of?

In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—stole my land and dumped his shit all over it. @ElonMusk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks https://t.co/2FObewkigc

Starting tour w @KaceyMusgraves tmmrw and opened my guitar case to practice and found this. The damage is beyond. How could this happen. PLEASE REPOST. delta needs to know they can’t treat instruments like this.

Just asked Google what the temperature outside is. She said, “88°, but with the current humidity levels, it feels like 99°.” 🥵🥵🥵

As @AshHays said, they’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. I will not be going 😂

Tennessee saw that it was officially summer and it really took that to heart.
