#AImarketing#MetaAds
OpenAI says ChatGPT ads hit a $1B annualized run-rate as of Aug 31 — Korea got ads Aug 11. But OpenAI drew a hard line: ads never influence answers or which brands get recommended. Ad budget and recommendation lists are separate games.
Being known isn't being cited. For a luxury magazine client we ran 45 queries: asked to "recommend a magazine," the name showed up 9/9 times — but only 5/9 cited an actual article. Ask something specific, and citations drop toward zero. — Q2Cut
If ad spend or creator payouts are tied to views, renegotiate the metric now. Q2Cut never reports on views alone — we track engaged views, watch time, and conversion from day one. — Q2Cut
YouTube quietly rewrote how it counts views. Announced Aug 17, live since Aug 24: a view now counts the instant playback starts (live: the instant you join) — not after ~30 seconds like before. Old rule, once Shorts-only, now covers long-form and live too.
Long-form drop-off in the first 30 sec runs an est. 30-40%. Those viewers now count. Expect view totals to jump 10-20% overnight — call it "viewflation." A rising graph after Aug 24 may just mean the count changed, not the campaign.
When production gets this cheap, everyone can make an ad. The gap moves to who plans better. That's the part Q2Cut builds around, using 1M+ viral data points to cut reshoots before they happen.

#Seedance25#AIvideo
ByteDance just priced Seedance 2.5: a 30s 720p ad now costs about $7. That's 52% pricier than v2.0 — and teams are still calling it cheaper. Here's why that isn't a contradiction. 🧵
The catch: cost never lived in the price sheet, it lived in reshoots. Old way = stitch 15s clips, redo everything if a seam looks off. Seedance 2.5 = one 30s take, edit only the broken part. Also: that '4K one-take' claim going around? 4K isn't official — specs cap at 720p.
