they deserve it because this is the business they are in, and are now scrambling to figure out how to survive without killing the cash cows they birthed to become the dominant players they are now.

the irony is these companies created ad models that are polluting their own platforms (cf all top search ads for the average Google query) and are being eaten alive by AI searches. now they are all rushing to reinvent themselves before being killed by their own creation.

people are flocking to AI apps because the open internet was killed by the modern digital advertising business model. most web pages are a garbage fire of terrible ads by pure necessity of survival because all the $$$ goes to Goog, Meta and Amzn.

some of my most intimate male friendships have developed by playing CoD with adult men who i have only ever known by screennames like โ€œCaptain Assโ€.

Men are funny because you can ask one what his best friend does for work and heโ€™ll be like โ€œI donโ€™t knowโ€ meanwhile theyโ€™ve known each other for 20 years and talk every day.

this is fine. being on camera โ€” whether you're a pro or not โ€” is a skill. writing is a skill. audio is a skill. i worry in the age of vertical video being basically the only way to break through to people, it's gonna be a lot of straining to force stuff that doesnt work.

been v interesting to see politicians, media and industry in general embrace vertical selfie video. the problem is that not everyone is good on video. and people can spot rizzlessness immediately. (c.f. gillibrand videos, but really most of congress).

I like Zohran as much as the next guy but the way every candidate is going to make videos of themselves standing on the street like this for the next yearโ€ฆ unforgivable.

thing that has mostly kept me locked in has been prime video and also some staples that can come to my house that are somewhat annoying to get at the store (paper towels, toilet paper, etc) . but both of those feel like they aren't worth it anymore lately.
