You shouldn’t build a personal brand, start a podcast, stream, or anything like that. Here’s why, with one exception: Doing this in 2026 is the equivalent of being a stripper in a club with one million other strippers. Yes, you can make money fast. But there are three major drawbacks: A) This skill set stops producing money the second you stop shaking your ass. B) There are 1,000 other creators starting every day. Even if you make it, you have to shake harder and harder to stay relevant. It is no longer an “open” opportunity. The second you stop serving the algorithm, you are replaced. C) You will not want to be shaking your ass on Twitch and making content at 40. Keep in mind. At 40 you will not just have to maintain this. You will need to be shaking your ass 5x harder, every year, as the competition to be relevant get's harder and harder. What you really should do is master a craft: business building, investing, or something else you can master in silence. Then do that for 30 to 40 years straight. In all honesty, 90% of people making content are wasting their careers. Even the mildly to largely successful ones. It is just not a good choice. It's fun when your 20. But ultimately a brutal waste of your years. The only times you should do this are: A) If this is truly your life’s calling. B) If it is a fun side hobby. 95% of people doing this do not fall into bucket A. They are doing it simply to make money. Their time would be better spent learning how to invest, build companies, build brands, and develop real skills. 95% of my net worth comes from my tech companies, which have grown mostly outside of my “content.” For the last six months, I stopped making videos because videos fell into bucket B for me. I stopped enjoying it. So I don't do it. The end. I get up and work on my businesses and write in hobby time. I cannot fathom a greater hell than having to make videos and content if I didn’t want to. This is a luxury most “personal brand” entrepreneurs do not have. Ask yourself as you see all the past aging influencers running ANOTHER stream...Another podcast...Still having to shake their asses... Ask yourself if you want that to be you. If you’re young and thinking about starting another podcast, stream, channel, or personal brand, you really need to ask yourself: A) Does the world need another talking head? B) Is this really what you want to do for the next 30 years? The answer to A is no. The answer to B is likely no. Think about it before you waste years of your life in the rat race of trying to become popular online. The vast majority of hyper-wealthy people are total unknowns.

webflow killed itself by 1000 cuts since 2021

BREAKING: WEBFLOW LAYOFFS THE WAY THEY HANDLED IT IS INSANE One employee tagged the CEO on LinkedIn 3 hours ago: "I'm locked out of my Webflow laptop since 7am this morning. Rumor has it we've been laid off, but I don't have an email or any message to confirm anything. My manager, do you have any news? Do I have a job?" CEO Linda Tong then posted a polished blog titled "Evolving Webflow for the agentic web." So yes, Mark W., looks like you and a whole lot more have been laid off. Via blog.

Why would you leave this larger group on the table and just cater to enterprise? It’s time for Timothy Ricks to build the new Webflow.

It’s really getting annoying @Webflow. My clients & I don’t care bout 99% of the new bells and whistles. Instead of chasing more Enterprise customers, focus on improving the product for us designers & builders. U lost ur way #webflow This unbridled growth is shaking ur foundation

Exposing @vecel upselling tactics: Releasing theupsellgame.com, an investigative website that details all the upselling Vercel does, which you only discover when you are already locked in.

How Base44 Beats Cursor:  "I don't think you will want to see the code. Nowadays even the most technical users would prefer building inside Base44 instead of Cursor. They do not want to set up servers and databases and see the code and write tests and navigate through the files etc. This portion of software that you can build in Base44 is going to grow. If you can build it inside Base44, you'd prefer to do that than Cursor." @maorshlomo Do you agree, people "will not want to see the code" @antonosika @ScottWu46 @gregisenberg @theo

this is my first question when I am interviewing I have kids I have beautiful wife I had a broken family growing up Yes this is important to know I am not joining a meat grinder Craig

Got 1 project on @contra. The budget was $1000, but I wanted to try the platform for engagement. We agreed on delivering 1 logo version. I gave him exactly what he asked for. Then he asked for another iteration, and I agreed. I ended up delivering 3 versions (they’re using one of them). When he asked for 2 more, I refused. He started threatening to leave me a bad rating. Now my Contra profile shows 1 ⭐️. Not sure how to react to this.
