Skype is closing down and I think it's a huge mistake Microsoft is committing to.

There is so much room still left in the international call services market that Microsoft could have chased.

But instead they took the easy way out...

Haven't been active on Twitter as of late but I still get DMs about @ProductHunt every so often

Is @ProductHunt still as relevant as it was 3+ years ago? Is it even more popular these days?

@AmexAU What's the point of referring a friend to one of your cards when they get more points from just signing up without a referral?

Who's creating these referral programs?

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

@canva @CanvaTech It's sad because your product is great and I've used it for many years but recently everytime I've logged on, it's either some kind of bug or downtime. Just not on at this point especially at this scale.

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

I'm sorry but @canva @CanvaTech you can't be announcing an 'enterprise' product yet have these many technical outage problems.

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

@jesthh you have the best facts 😂

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

@dvassallo It's a common technique employed by many companies. And I doubt any CEO is looking into their paid media strategy if their company is worth more than a billion +

You think they'd have other pressing issues to worry about

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

@Dexerto I remember the pressure growing up under Asian parents and I would sneak out to play games as well but I would never spend my parent's hard-earned money, especially not as dumb as this.

It's a kid diff not parent diff.

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

100% agreed. I stopped chasing money ages ago and have been living my best life.

[ReeFeR @reeferpogo]

Don’t stop living to chase money.

I know it takes dedication, efforts, long nights and sacrifices to build something great.

To make the big bucks.

But for what are you doing it?

For me, it’s for my family.

Screw fancy cars and big houses.

That won’t make you truly happy.

I’ve spent all day with family today.

Sun, Barbecue, some beers, and the casual family dramas.

Most importantly: No phone.

This is what truly matters, and money can’t buy this.

There’ll always be money to make.

But family and friends won’t last forever.

We have limited time to spend with our loved ones.

For the people we’re doing all this here.

Keep that in mind before you skip the next family or friends event for the hustle.

Alright enough philosophy for today.

See ya tomorrow Legends.

My recent thoughts on the Reddit vs Moderator war.

I really think Reddit could come up with a brilliant monetization program which I talk in my latest newsletter.

Other news including from:
- @Microsoft @bethesda
- @TeamKibsi and more!

Always make sure you have a full end-to-end funnel.

Writing on @Medium ? Link your newsletter or your @Linktree_

Writing on @Quora? Clean your profile up and have links there.

Always make sure someone has a way to reach out if they need to.

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

Man getting sick sucks.

Productivity goes down the drain and all you want to do is sleep.

How do you guys manage getting sick?

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

Do you have a proper office space to work in at home?

I think people underestimate how important your working conditions are in improving productivity.

Stop working off your dining table or bed.

Create a proper workspace and you will fill like doing proper worker everytime you hop in.

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

LOL

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

This is a great take that I found a screenshot of (not sure who the OP is).

Performance punishment is REAL

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

@thealexxroy Never thought about it like that 😂

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

Western Countries: 10 emails back and forwards and finally hopping onto a Zoom and then a final email - job done

Asian Countries: 10-minute Whatsapp convo - job done

😂

[@levelsio @levelsio]

My fav thing about Asia is you can book or get most things done via chat messages here

Usually Whatsapp, but increasingle Google Maps

Nobody rly does phone calls here anymore

Def almost never seen this in Europe

[Richard Fang 🔎 @richardfliu]

@levelsio Haha Whatsapp is the way of life. Saves so much time
