At Wish, we were by far the most efficient big spender on FB & Google (spending $100's-of-millions per year on each). We achieved this BECAUSE we ignored all "best practices", personal taste, & silicon valley opinions. Because, not in spite. Thanks for sharing @lennysan

The most sophisticated growth team no one talks about: @WishShopping 1. The #1 shopping app in 40+ countries 2. Rumored to often be the #1 spender on FB and Google 3. 2 million items sold daily I sat down with @cplimon to learn about the notoriously secretive company. Read on 👇

@david_perell @tylercowen But doesn’t “good taste” get more and more niche (narrower in population) the better it gets. It starts to require more and more context, which fewer and fewer ppl have and appreciate.

Great thread by @rektdiomedes . Seems your thesis hinges on the street's expectations of future interest rates - in order to unlock risk-on. and you're estimating, the fed put soon? Good collection of links, too, btw.

Low BTC dormancy rn - on avg new coins are moving vs old coins. '1st-cyclers' are bailing, where as BTC cycle-veterans are HOLD'ing We want a good crypto on-boarding experience for 1st-cyclers, but they should reactivate as I've seen at CEX data 🙏 @TimmerFidelity

@FbBagholder Makes intuitive sense. But in practice, I don’t see it in - the avg or median is all bad. But I also don’t see Oscar-winning-vibe TikTok content. Best argument is, length & budgets create upward variance potential, not still not common. Budget imo the driver

@speechu @awilkinson It’s also the exact opposite of what candidates want. Candidates want to do more and at larger scales. Doing the exact same (or less) at smaller scales is not an exciting proposition.
