Zach warunak used to troll the Vine community, but things got interesting after his banter with Rus and Rus telling him, “Come see me in my office.” 👀

Since then, we haven’t seen him tweeting against Vine. And despite X rolling out so many new features, Zach, one of its key developers, doesn’t seem visibly involved in these launches either.

Could there be something happening behind the scenes? Is Zach secretly working with Rus to bring Vine back? 👀🤔

@stepango @allegrajacchia Not delusional after all. The Vine energy is back 👀 X has been rolling out so many new features lately, but users need something genuinely exciting too. And honestly, a Vine revival could be exactly that, especially with so many people still waiting for its revival. 👀

What if Elon Musk’s ongoing Ambani saga is about much more than Starlink? 👀

Hear me out.

1/ Starlink gives Musk a legitimate reason to challenge India’s telecom landscape. By publicly framing the issue as unfair competition, he’s already building a narrative around incumbent power and government interference.

2/ Now look at the bigger picture. Ambani’s Reliance has a major partnership with Zuckerberg’s Meta. Both have enormous interests in India’s digital ecosystem, from connectivity to commerce and social media.

3/ Musk has ambitions to turn X into an everything app, with video playing a major role. What if his next move is to launch a short-video platform that directly challenges Instagram Reels and TikTok-style apps?

4/ India is too big a digital market to ignore. But entering it could mean competing with powerful local players and navigating complex regulations.

5/ Here’s where the theory gets interesting: what if the Starlink controversy is also helping Musk establish a broader public narrative about how Indian incumbents and government policies treat foreign tech companies?

6/ If a new app later faces regulatory hurdles, Musk could point back to the Ambani dispute and argue that the same forces are blocking competition. The debate would no longer be just about satellite internet; it could become a battle over access to India’s digital economy.

7/ That narrative could generate public pressure, attract international attention and put the government on the defensive—even before the specifics of the new dispute are fully understood.

Is this what’s actually happening? There’s no public evidence proving such a coordinated plan. The Starlink dispute alone has a straightforward commercial explanation.

But could a savvy entrepreneur use one business conflict to build leverage for another?

That’s the real question. What looks like a fight over Starlink today could, hypothetically, become part of a much bigger contest for India’s digital future. 👀

Just a theory, not a claim of fact. What do you think?

A Plan to Make Cricket the No. 1 Sport in the World

To truly globalize cricket and increase its reach, here is a proposed structural change to the league and international calendar.

Two-Team Structure for Every IPL Franchise

Each IPL franchise would operate with two squads:
•Team A: The main, star-studded IPL squad.
•Team B: A development squad made up primarily of players from associate cricketing nations.

This system would ensure exposure and opportunities for emerging cricketing countries while maintaining the entertainment value of the league.

League Format

The league would be played in two phases of three months each:
•Phase 1: March to June
•Phase 2: September to November

Each franchise’s Team A and Team B would both play their own set of matches. For example:
•Team A plays 20 matches.
•Team B plays 20 matches.

At the end of the league stage, qualification for the semi-finals and finals would depend on the combined performance of both teams.

Example:
•If Mumbai Indians’ Team A finishes first but Team B finishes last, their aggregate points and net run rate will determine qualification.
•If RCB’s Team A and Team B both finish fourth, their combined standing may allow them to qualify more comfortably.

This ensures franchises invest in both squads and take associate-nation development seriously.

Semi-Final and Final Team Composition

For the semi-finals and finals:
•Franchises can select any playing XI from a combined pool of Team A and Team B players.
•However, the playing XI must include at least one player from Team B.

This guarantees high-stakes exposure for associate-nation players on the biggest stage.

Player Eligibility Rules
•Team B must primarily consist of players from associate nations.
•Team A players are not allowed to play in Team B.
•Team B players can be promoted and play for Team A if they perform well.
•Team A may increase the overseas player limit from 4 to 5 or even 6.
•Team B would have more flexibility:
•No strict overseas limit.
•Can include Indian players under the age of 19 as development prospects.

This creates a clear pathway from Team B to Team A and increases motivation for emerging players.

Independent Sponsorship Model
•Team A and Team B would each have their own sponsors.
•This allows:
•Separate branding opportunities.
•Additional revenue streams.
•Greater commercial value for franchises.
•Team B sponsorships would help bring visibility and funding to associate-nation players and development programs.

Revenue Sharing Model
•League revenue would be shared among all participating cricket boards.
•Distribution would be based on:
•Viewership contribution from each country.
•Market engagement and audience size.
•Additionally:
•Countries hosting a league phase would receive a hosting fee.

This ensures financial growth across the cricketing world and incentivizes boards to promote the league locally.

Team B Hosting Strategy
•A significant portion of Team B matches could be played in countries where cricket is rapidly growing, such as:
•Nepal
•Bangladesh
•Afghanistan
•UAE
•Other emerging cricket markets

This would:
•Build local fan bases.
•Increase infrastructure investment.
•Give associate-nation fans direct access to high-quality league cricket.
•Accelerate cricket’s global expansion.

Restructuring International Cricket

With Test and ODI viewership declining, the international calendar could be streamlined.

Test Cricket:
•During the six-month gap between league phases, only the top six Test nations would compete.
•A World Test Championship would be played among these teams every two years.

ODI Cricket:
•Retain only the ODI World Cup as the main event.
•Hold one month of preparation matches before the World Cup.

This would:
•Reduce calendar clutter.
•Preserve the prestige of major tournaments.
•Keep fan interest high.

Benefits for Associate Nations
•Guaranteed participation through Team B.
•Separate sponsorships and revenue streams.
•Increased visibility and career opportunities.
•Clear pathway for standout players to move into Team A.
•Direct financial benefit through the revenue-sharing model.

Hosting Model
•One three-month phase must be held in India.
•The second phase rotates annually among other cricketing nations such as:
•South Africa
•Australia
•England
•UAE
•And others.

This would globalize the league and expand cricket’s footprint worldwide.
