Blood sisters 2 was underwhelming. As always, any extra season from Nigerian producers is always a mess.
Y'all should be wrapping up with 4, 5 episodes, stop stressing us.
CapCut a rendu ses fonctions de base payantes.
Et il entraîne son IA sur tes vidéos pendant que tu édites.
😬 Des devs en colère ont copié toute l'app et l'ont publiée gratuitement sur GitHub.
Ça s'appelle OpenCut : 45 800 étoiles en moins d'un an.
Et les utilisateurs de CapCut migrent sans bruit.
Ce qu'OpenCut offre :
→ Édition timeline multi-pistes
→ Aperçu temps réel, sans rendu préalable
→ Zéro filigrane à l'export
→ Pas d'abonnement, pas de premium, pas de fonctions verrouillées
→ Même base de code sur web, desktop et mobile
→ Tes vidéos ne quittent jamais ton appareil, l'éditeur tourne dans le navigateur
→ Licence MIT, n'importe qui peut forker et distribuer sa version
L'histoire de CapCut tient en cinq étapes :
▫️Lancement gratuit
▫️Transitions de base payantes
▫️Export haute résolution payant
▫️Filigranes sur les exports gratuits
▫️ByteDance entraîne ses modèles d'IA sur le contenu utilisateur
Le parcours classique des outils créatifs gratuits.
OpenCut casse le schéma. Le dépôt est sous licence MIT. Personne ne peut ajouter un paywall, imposer un compte, ou entraîner une IA sur le projet. Si un mainteneur essayait, quelqu'un forkerait dans les 48 heures et redistribuerait sans les modifications.
Là où OpenCut dépasse déjà CapCut :
→ Traitement vidéo 100% local, architecture qui protège la vie privée
→ Pas besoin de compte CapCut, ni d'Apple ID, ni de Google
→ Code open source, auditable ligne par ligne
→ 90+ contributeurs qui poussent des fonctions chaque semaine
→ La version web tourne sur Chromebook, Linux, ou n'importe quel navigateur
→ Analyses anonymes uniquement, zéro tracking comportemental, zéro fingerprinting
Pourquoi ça explose :
→ 45 800 étoiles GitHub
→ 4 700 forks (les devs misent sur la base de code)
→ 1 280 commits en dev actif
→ 90+ contributeurs du monde entier
→ Vercel et fal . ai soutiennent l'infra OSS
Le truc qui doit faire mal à CapCut : leur succès reposait entièrement sur le fait d'être gratuit. Une alternative gratuite et open source les rattrape, et le château de cartes s'effondre.
OpenCut les a rattrapés.
Licence MIT. 100% open source. Gratuit pour toujours.
Bref avec le gratuit (pas open), on finit souvent par le payer cher.
The bigs stores are now selling African groceries in Canada. Nofrills, Frescho...

A thread 🧵
Brands are paying AI UGC creators stupids amounts of money rn
thing is with Seedance 2.0 it’s not even hard to make anymore
you can use Arcads to generate super high quality Seedance UGC and build tons of TT / IG pages
Getting paid RPM + retainer + aff commissions
Genuinely an insane money printer
if you just learn how to create AI UGC your winning
These AI claymation ads are crushing it on Meta right now 🤯
Images, videos, voiceover, music, captions: all made entirely with AI.
Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who want ad creative that actually stands out in the Meta feed instead of blending in with every other UGC talking head and static image.
If you're running the same creative formats as everyone else — UGC, statics, carousels — and wondering why engagement keeps dropping and CPMs keep climbing...
Animated ads break the entire pattern:
→ They look like nothing else in the feed, so they stop the scroll
→ They work as paid ads on Meta AND organic content on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
→ You can produce them in-house without hiring freelancers or booking a studio
→ One workflow covers claymation, Pixar, anime, Wes Anderson miniature, retro cartoon, synthwave, and hyperrealistic CGI
The workflow uses Claude for all the creative assets, Nano Banana Pro for image generation, Kling 3.0 for animation, Gemini to rewrite the voiceover to match the footage, ElevenLabs for voice, Suno for music, and CapCut for the final edit.
Eight steps, one finished ad.

You might have noticed, Seedance 2.0 doesn't allow human faces on the public API.
HeyGen is the only platform with access to do it. Why? Because we built first-party consent and identity verification into the foundation from day one. Every single digital twin created on HeyGen is verified by first-party video consent. No exceptions.
Thank you @BytePlusGlobal for the partnership. Safety first, always.
There was a robbery incident that happened to my neighbour some time ago.
The robbers hit their door, threatening to break it down if they didn’t open up, so the dad had no choice but to open it. Four rugged, armed men walked in and immediately ordered everyone out of the room to lie face down on the floor if they didn’t want to die.
They all obeyed, including the little kids. But after a while, the children started arguing over space, saying “that’s my spot, I got there before you.” One of the robbers, who seemed like the boss, stayed back to guard them while the others searched the house. He got angry and shouted at the kids to lie down and close their eyes.
A few minutes later, one of the little girls whispered to her brother to close his eyes or she would report him. Next thing, she stood up, walked up to the armed robber, tugged his trousers, and said, “Uncle armed robber, Junior is not closing his eyes.”
Immediately, the other robbers both inside and outside burst into laughter. The one guarding them just stood there, shook his head, and then walked out. In a teary voice, he told the others to leave everything and go. They left the house without taking anything.
Nigeria is a reflection of the people in it.
Someone shot his shot at Victor Osimhen for a jersey and even tagged a vendor.
Osimhen saw it and said he’d personally send one.
Then told the vendor to add 15 more jerseys for others.
-That’s where it got interesting.-
Immediately money entered, the story changed.
The vendor suddenly said Osimhen told him to share it himself.
He claimed he had already picked 15 people.
—Then it got worse— He called the same person who brought him the business a scam.
From there, he tried to “negotiate”: 7 for the guy, 8 for himself.
Greed, plain and simple.
The guy refused and asked for all 15 jerseys as instructed.
—Next thing—
The vendor switched again. Said the post was “stolen” and brought another person to justify it.
—Now here’s the real problem—
Instead of people calling out the wrong, they started defending it.
“Make una settle.” “Na just jersey.” “Let it go.”
- Someone even offered to pay extra, rewarding bad behavior.
And that’s when it becomes clear:
We are not different from the people we complain about in power.
—This is how it starts—
small compromise, small dishonesty, small defense of wrong.
Nigeria didn’t just become this way overnight.
We built it, little by little, with everyday actions like this.
Truth is, many people are only “good” because they’ve not had the opportunity to do worse.
One day, we will have an honest conversation about the double standards on this TL.
One day.
