Are we becoming NPCs hooked on AI prompts? Jack Raines just called us out on our habit of instantly begging Grok to decode memes and tweets. At this rate, we'll soon ask Grok to chew our food. Are we outsourcing our critical thinking to AI? Tune in to find out if we're on the brink of NPC-ification.

[Jack Raines @Jack_Raines]

Ever increasing number of people asking Grok what every single post means. Maybe the biggest consequence of widespread AI is just turning humans into NPC prompt addicts.

@grok thoughts?

Nine out of ten newsletters fail year one—most picked the wrong niche. Subscriber count means nothing if you're barely breaking even. Time to rethink your newsletter strategy before getting stuck in ramen dinner limbo. Watch to learn smarter growth.

[Nathan May @_May_Ham]

9 out of 10 newsletters get stuck at 1000-2000 subscribers and/or fail in <1 year because of these 5 avoidable mistakes:

1. Spending too much time in the wrong niche

Many creators with 15-25K subscribers make just $500/month. They're stuck in niches that will never scale to six figures.

How do you avoid that?

Set a 90-day test: "Can I get 5K subscribers & 2 sponsors while spending <$15K?"

If not, pivot. Fast.

2. Not calculating subscriber LTV

Almost no one tracks subscriber LTV, so they have no idea how much they can spend to acquire subscribers.

They're guessing instead of growing.

Tim Huelskamp was different. He left a high-paying PE job to build 1440 because his LTV math showed:

• LTV per subscriber = $20+
• CAC via paid ads = $2-3 (as low as $1 early)

That 10-20x ROI gave him the confidence to raise debt (not VC) & grow from 50K to 500K subscribers in one year.

Calculate your LTV in 3 steps:

• Pick a cohort (e.g., Jan subscribers)

• Track monthly open rates

• Multiply opens by your revenue per open

Example:

25 emails/mo at $40 CPM ($0.04 per open)

Year 1 calculation:

Month 1: 25 emails × 45% open rate = 11.25 opens × $0.04 = $0.45

Month 2: 25 × 40% = 10 opens × $0.04 = $0.40

Month 3: 25 × 37% = 9.25 opens × $0.04 = $0.37

Months 4-12: 25 × 35% = 8.75 opens × 9 months × $0.04 = $3.15

Year 1 LTV = $4.37
Year 2 LTV = $8.57

Rule of thumb:

Spend up to 25% of LTV to acquire subscribers. So, if LTV is $8.57, keep the CAC under $2.14.

3. Avoiding paid acquisition

It’s hard to build a 7 or 8-figure business relying entirely on organic growth.

Why?

Even top creators convert 10-20% of their social followers into newsletter subscribers.

For example, Dickie Bush & Nicholas Cole have a combined ~1M social followers, are A+ on converting folks down to the newsletter, & have 165,000 subs (16.5% conversion).

To reach 100K subscribers at this rate, you'd need 600K followers.

But how many people have that kind of following? Not many.

So, if you want to grow your list, your best bet is to:

• Quickly convert any organic following you have

• Start with small paid campaigns

• Know LTV and CAC

• Validate your unit economics and double down or switch niches

4. Letting ego dictate ad pricing

Many creators with 30K subscribers sell ONLY 1-2 sponsorships monthly because "I won't go below $2,000!"

Bot Eat Brain is an AI newsletter (acquired) that did the opposite.

Initially, they sold their first spots for just $1-50 (with 15K subscribers).

This smart move got sponsors in the door, proved value, and then allowed them to raise rates while building case studies for new clients.

5. Obsessing over subscriber count vs. engagement

I've seen 50K-subscriber newsletters drive only 50 clicks to sponsors. No advertiser returns with metrics this poor.

Sponsors care about:

• Click-through rate: Aim for 0.5%+

• Effective CPC: $2-5 for B2C, $5-15 for B2B

Focus on improving these metrics first, and you'll build a sustainable business that can scale.

Putting jet engines on Priuses—that's essentially what Metallicus claims they're doing for traditional banks with crypto. But hold up, some are calling their teaser AI-generated and suspiciously fake. Could this be the crypto-AI crossover we didn't know we needed?

[TBPNify @tbpnify]

Metallicus just dropped a cryptic link, classic crypto teasing at its best. Turns out they're quietly bridging traditional banks and crypto seamlessly—think jet engines strapped onto Priuses. If this scales, DeFi's playing field could change overnight. Time to pay attention.
