#TechTidesTake VIDEO ▶️: There's a summit in Dubai where headline speakers were ranked by follower count. Surprise surprise, I wasn't invited. I wonder why? 😅🙈 MrBeast at the top. Will Smith at 250 million is one of the first Black faces I see. Precious few African creators anywhere on that list. Surely there are more useful ways to measure who belongs on a stage? Meanwhile, LinkedIn just rolled out a massive algorithmic overhaul. Something fundamental is shifting. This is where it gets weird... Not enough time to unpack in 3 mins, subscribe for Part 2.

#TechTidesTake VIDEO ▶️: Flutterwave just acquired Mono. All-stock deal. $25-40 million. The coverage has been breathless. "The future of commerce is open." You know the vibes... But when a $3B unicorn pays entirely in equity instead of cash... that's not necessarily strength. Lawyer @lumimustapha published a sharp breakdown this week, reverse-engineering Flutterwave's likely balance sheet. Tiger Global and YC backed both companies. Maybe the aunties are just reading the room. The hype is ripe. But is the fruit being picked before it's ready?

#TechTidesTake VIDEO ▶️: My colleague @MrBankole (founder of @TechCabal) calls this "twerking for the algorithm." I can't get that image out of my head. My Australia social media ban video hit 250k impressions in 48 hours on LinkedIn. Algorithm smiled. It felt good. But here's what sits uncomfortably: I'd written about the policy, the enforcement challenges, the difficult questions policymakers and parents are trying to solve. Then distilled it into 3 minutes with irony and cheeky humour. That's what broke out. Most who watched probably never read the column. They got the take, not the context. That's the tension heading into 2026. The short-form video format works — gets reach, starts conversations — but creates a gap between what gets seen and what gets understood. Seven videos in, I'm still figuring it out... See you in 2026, by the grace of God. More in this week's video. #ContentCreation #AfricanTech #Journalism #TechTidesTuesday
