my biggest theory is this was roughly the time when a lot of the big social medias switched from chronological to algorithmic - twitter, instagram (both roughly summer 2016 changes)
your media diet went primarily from being your friends/interests with a finite amount of content to consume (refresh your feed, nothing new happens -> you're good to do other things for hours)
to infinite content machines that were continuously tweaked to drive session lengths longer and longer, with media that was less related to you/your circle
If you had a button that you paid $100 to press, and 99.99% of the time it yielded $102, and 0.01% netted you zero
You could press the a million times in a single day - thus wagering 100 million, but your expected earnings on the bet would be roughly $2 million dollars
And your bankroll for this thought experiment would only need to be a couple thousand dollars, just repeatedly deployed
@fahdananta the fact that so much of our population is concentrated 100km from the US border is a travesty, so much beautiful country if you travel a few hours north in pretty much any province
would love to make it up to the territories one of these years
@levelsio pattern I lean towards is 10 months in main location - allows you to build your community, put roots down
then for the 2 months you dislike the most in main location - longterm airbnb in different country (with more favorable conditions)
@george__mack downloaded it as a pdf, threw it in a ChatGPT project as a knowledge file
really useful as a thought partner, and your writing style influences the LLM output to sound way less βaiβ
@antonosika@kiwicopple@supabase this is what sold lovable to me - amazing tool for scaffolding a project 80%, then moving my workflow over to cursor.
Paint the broad strokes automatically, then let the user focus on finishing touches
@JosephKChoi@gregisenberg Is this a byproduct of ecom being easy to directly attribute to a creators video?
TTS has integrations with shopify/woocommerce which makes these leaderboards easy to calculate
Feel like lots of creators are peddling apps, just they don't appear on the leaderboard perhaps
@wono_strategy killer thread - impressed with what you've built with the Viral Economy
You think there's any value in using A/B Testing for the initial release of the video (to target the "niche" viewer) and then shifting long-term to a "reach" thumbnail via a Viral Economy winner?
