completely destroying the useful internet. The other day, I spent hours on Google trying to get to useful information and kept hitting a wall of SEO crap
We pulled off an SEO heist using AI.
1. Exported a competitor’s sitemap
2. Turned their list of URLs into article titles
3. Created 1,800 articles from those titles at scale using AI
18 months later, we have stolen:
- 3.6M total traffic
- 490K monthly traffic

Elon really did his best to ensure that Twitter was going to be useless in times where rapid access to information would matter and he achieved it in less than 24 months.
Kinda impressive in its destructiveness if you think about it.

The Nigerian State has decided to go all authoritarian, as usual
— protest organisers have received credible threats and might need to go into hiding
— bank account for receiving donations has been frozen
— payment processing company is being harassed

If this company dies, it will not be due to an advertising boycott; no matter how many times Elon says so.
Reality is that these businesses were barely buying any ads. And no one boycotts a platform that converts (ask Meta)
Twitter doesn’t convert 🎬

There are 2 schools of thought here:
1. In 5 years, entertainment networks (they're not really social networks) don't need creators.
They just churn out an endless stream of AI-generated content with a bunch of AI-generated ads linking you to AI-generated product pages keeping…

There's a massive difference between a serious person and a person that cosplays a serious person.

Some of the most serious people I know are also very playful and don't take themselves too seriously.

everything about Tobe is great but my fave thing is that a few years ago, he did an interview where he said he decided to put out one new song/video every week and he’d only give up on music if it hadn’t worked out after 10 years

The best piece of advice I would give anyone starting today is to find something you like and copy it aggressively until you can do the exact same thing perfectly.
Copy it until it feels like you could do it in your sleep. Only then should you try to do something original.

Vitalik is actually one of the better leaders of *anything* I’ve seen in my entire life — intellectual and thoughtful, continues to participate by asking big questions, not afraid to say he was wrong, not dictatorial, allows ecosystem to develop on its own terms.
one of the weirdest things in crypto is how much Vitalik is literally *worshipped* in ETH
people treat him like an infallible godlike not capable of making mistakes (even though he has made many, since you know, he's human)
alignment + worship = religion
not unlike BTC maxis

Something that came to me on a run:
When founders start things, it seems important that the tie their personal identity to the success of the thing — literally willing it to life.
But at some point, it becomes counter productive. Figuring that out is key but hard.

Losing money on a UGC site with 73m DAUs is truly a breathtaking feat.
🚨 Reddit IPO is here! S-1 just dropped. 🚨
$800m in rev last year with a net loss of $90.8m.
500m site visitors in Dec with 73m DAUs.
Also pulling a Robinhood by inviting power users (mods, those with high karma) to invest in the IPO...
