Thought Heist

quotes, thoughts & musings on what I read.
systems, behaviour, and the moments in between.
sometimes I turn ideas into small tools.

[Thought Heist @thoughtheist]

I have a knack for turning uncomfortable social moments into small tools.

Survival. Disputes. Cold outreach.

@signulll are you talking about outbid dot lol

[Thought Heist @thoughtheist]

@fermatslibrary are there any other illusions where this the case?

[Thought Heist @thoughtheist]

@jasperdeboer we are all not building the same thing. some of those 'bid sites' are just listing their own products, riding on the wave.

[Thought Heist @thoughtheist]

that requires skilled satirists to be effective. satire works best when it sits just outside the current window of acceptable discourse. close enough that the audience can still recognise the real target, but far enough that the humour provides psychological cover. if an idea is already inside the window, it will feel redundant.

[signüll @signulll]

satire is often the most beautiful way to tell cultural truths because it gives people just enough distance to accept what they would otherwise reject.

@jonathan_wilke might compete with 'attention economy'.

[Thought Heist @thoughtheist]

great achievement, this will rub on onto the whole ecosystem of bidding sites.

We crossed 1.3M visitors. Crazy stuff 🔥

enjoyment is the juice one squeezes from the fruits of struggle. there is no enjoyment without struggle.

don't know who needs to hear this, but start living. The days are flying by, and all you do is work, pay bills, and stress. Enjoy what you can- walks, sunsets, music, laughter and nature. Joy doesn't have to be expensive.
You deserve it.

the awareness and exposure is worth it. many products are discovered by serendipity. you describe textbook marketing, sure, ideally.

[Feifei Qiu @feifei_qiu]

Marketing should be context-based, meaning you surface products or ads when they’re actually relevant to what people are doing, thinking about, or searching for.

I doubt real users will proactively visit a leaderboard or ranking site and assume the #1 product is the best one, especially when everyone knows that ranking was bought with money.

[Thought Heist @thoughtheist]

@feifei_qiu which marketing strategy do you 'buy?'

[Thought Heist @thoughtheist]

@jonathan_wilke full titles & domain kept visible next to them like it is already. URLs are clean but low-info. titles make the ranking more valuable.

[Thought Heist @thoughtheist]

@damonchen indeed. they all bought spots! and if someone offers more, they get gazumped. some of them are time limited contracts like
