How to build one of the biggest Counter-Strike accounts on X:
✓ Send 700 newsletters
✓ Take no salary for 7 years
✓ Pay your own way to events
We regret none of it.
But one thing changes next week 🧵
so let’s flip the script
with @readtldr, we’re pooling CS2 creators into one collective pitch to brands
instead of being ignored, you can be part of a bigger voice
this has been cooking for a long time
our talented team of writers have been itching to share original stories
now we're giving it a go in a slightly unusual format: email first
this week, we're trying something new for our newsletter: deep-dives
each wednesday you can expect us to share an original piece that goes deep on a single story, subject, or anything else that piques our interest
@jasonfried I get the team compositions (designer+dev), but don’t you still have people with special knowledge - ie some who excel at web vs iOS or some who are more DevOps.
Or do you really only hire and coach devs into people who can do it all?
