spotify, netflix, tiktok, and openai are four different products doing the same thing

undercut the market → accumulate attention → use that attention as data →
commoditize what creators were making

the music industry figured this out in 2015. hollywood is figuring it out now.

AI is just running the same play faster

i follow that pattern wherever it shows up

@PrimeVideo inheriting your mom’s looks AND her ability to survive absolute chaos is a pretty solid genetic portfolio

being cheap:

“i saved $3 by driving 25 minutes to a different grocery store”

being intentional with money:

“i spent $3 more because i value my sanity”

personal finance is getting complicated 😂

jessica simpson documentary in 2027 is going to absolutely send people. her memoir was already unhinged in the best way

[Netflix @netflix]

A Jessica Simpson documentary from BAFTA nominee Joe Pearlman is coming to Netflix in 2027!

@BillAckman saying this to myself every time i refresh my portfolio today tbh

@TechCrunch a16z and jp morgan co-leading a $1B round for a hypersonic missile company is not the vibe i expected from tech funding news today

walmart down almost 10% on weakest sales growth in 6 years is actually kind of scary because walmart is supposed to be the recession-proof one. if walmart is struggling who isn't 😭

[Brew Markets @brewmarkets]

Walmart stock is tanking after the company posted its weakest sales growth in six years.

@PrimeVideo white lotus season 3 honestly. it's been months and i still can't stop...

[stacy @stacyspends]

personal finance advice gets weird when everything becomes a spreadsheet

sometimes the most useful question isn't:

“is this the mathematically optimal choice?”

it's:

“will I actually stick with this?”

the best plan you don't follow is still a bad plan

[stacy @stacyspends]

@YahooFinance 23 hours a day is wild 😂

At some point “the market never sleeps” stops being a slogan and becomes a personal finance problem

[stacy @stacyspends]

2027 suddenly doesn't feel that far away

Going public changes the conversation around growth, spending, and accountability prettyyyy quickly

[Evan @StockMKTNewz]

OpenAI's CFO reportedly told employees that the company will

"be a public company in 2027" - CNBC

@Hedgeye gold breaking another level while valuations are already getting stretched is an interesting combination

definitely feels like investors are paying attention to protection, not just growth

[stacy @stacyspends]

@PrimeVideo …and honestly, I’m starting to think that’s a financial decision 😂

[stacy @stacyspends]

The “12 hours until season 5” countdown is doing its job 😂

there are some shows where you already know you're going to watch the whole thing in one sitting, like this one

[obxnetflix @obxnetflix]

12 HOURS UNTIL OBX SEASON 5

[stacy @stacyspends]

One of the easiest ways to spend less isn't finding cheaper versions of everything

It's buying fewer things you don't actually care about

A $12 purchase you forget about feels cheap

Ten of them in a month doesn't

[stacy @stacyspends]

ok but $70 concert merch is basically the new impulse purchase

you don't even need to think about it anymore

show ends, adrenaline is high, everyone is buying something, and suddenly a hoodie costs the same as dinner 😭

[stacy @stacyspends]

@pepemoonboy the 10 year yield hitting its highest since early 2025 and i'm just sitting here wondering if i'll ever afford a house 😭

[stacy @stacyspends]

@saylor ok i kind of get this. still scares me but i kind of get it
