@OG_BENJAYLATREZ@HornetsLead If weβre being honest, this was all a result of Jordan and Kupchakβs awful team management. Melo was hurt often, but also held out often for the tank. The tank was supposed to result in good picks. It didnβt. And here we are.
@macastel3 The car scene in Guangzhou is next level. BYD is the Camry of China. And more Benz and BMW than in my city.
So much luxury and automation in the Chinese electrics.
Every factory looked like this meme.
I started my career when the internet was just getting started. SEO began as a way to rig the search results on Google. This will be no different.
Right now someone is solving for βmost trusted place to buy a diamond engagement ringβ. And they arenβt trustworthy.
Ai will eat transactional commerce.
Shopping will change.
Websites will eventually feel like print catalogues. Neat, nice, not that necessary.
You will need a product feed that pumps into every LLM.
You will need marketing to make sure LLMs see you as high signal.
But personal shopping for all, on demand, with perfect memory about style and taste is coming.
@JamesonCamp What if I told you there are machines you can place all around your town, and people will just put money in them, and you get to keep it all?! π° π΄
Today is the last day of Section 321:
Starting tomorrow, any goods that cross into the USA will pay ALL tariffs and duties.

You can still cross ship, so there is value in duty deferral (keep them in bond abroad, only pay duties when you import)
but thousands of DTC brands are going to be losing 20-40 points of margin overnight...
Budgets will get tighter, margins slimmer, posts more unhinged...
@seanfrank The fallout hasnβt even begun. Consumer will flow like water towards cheaper pricing. X and TikTok influencers partially to blame.
Chinese factories will be the largest advertisers on Meta.
USA businesses closures will begin to fall like dominoes in 2026.
