Funny enough, there's enough content demand on the platforms on the topic of viewbotting right now that if you are middle-sized streamer (500-1000ish) viewers, you can actually try to bait large public culture pages into covering you organically through having a friend viewbot you and then "out yourself". Thus creating actual organic traffic

No horse in this race, though as older millenial I got to see the evolution of these terms throughout time. Growing up in HS in the early 2000's, FOB was actually used as a derogatory way to put down newly immigrated asian kids who had an accent. The use of this word sometimes still feels a bit off ABG's was more known as Asian Baby Gangsta. a moniker given to asian girls that generally dated Gang members and dealers. Sometime in the late 2010's as raves exploded, ABG shifted to becoming more of an aesthetic than a lifestyle and the people that lived the lifestyle was up in arms about that as well. Today, it's definitely become more of an aesthetic (kind of like Harajuku style from Tokyo, and MK style from Hong Kong, but the Asian American version) Happy AAPI month!

If you wanted to inflate twitch viewers of a channel through official means, this has been here for over half a decade. 30s non skippable forced watching of a stream if a user opts in usually for ingame currency of partnered mobile games. Not cheap, but does so in a first party kind of way Brands generally bought this to ensure sponsored streams goes up the category discovery food chain through "Sort by Highest Viewers" advertising.amazon.com/resou…

Paid ads work when your UA funnels are actually built, and whoever is running them understands intent

How it feels building with a bunch of ai agents

Getting there!

What's your AI adoption level? (according to Steve Yegge)

US’ 996 is actually more hours than China’s 996 The thing they don’t tell you about 996 is that in China there’s a built in mid day napping culture from Noon to 2PM which doesn’t exist here

Ok, getting consistent ride quality of a Jaguar is kinda nice when using Waymo. This predictability has increasingly become top of mind when deciding on which app to hail a ride from

AI hallucinations are oddly human. I got married last weekend, and my best man cited that because of the confidence in my spoken words, it would sometimes give the perception that hypothesis’s sound like fact. That in turn has lead us on many chaotic type II fun moments, and sometimes drama in the friend group This is similar to AI, where the the agent sends you off on a wild goose chase because it was so confident on what it states that you feel it absolutely has to be true. But as more context gets added, sometimes you arrive right back where you started, and conversely causing a sev0 with the dev team

Guess it happened🤷‍♂️

Today we’re launching @markopolo_ai an AI that creates deeply personalized campaigns that run themselves. Convert 30-40% of warm leads vs. the industry standard of 10-15%. People don’t abandon because they don’t want the product. They abandon because the follow-up is generic, late, or in the wrong channel/language. So me, @RubaiyatFarhan and our team has built an engine that automatically repairs the leak. Our platform reads each visitor's behavioral signals and generates individual follow-ups across email, SMS, and voice, automatically. No generic workflows. No A/B testing. Just LLM-powered campaigns that understand your customers intent and adapt in real-time. Here’s how modern brands use Markopolo to recover millions in lost intent: 1. Reads real shopper behavior in real time Hesitations, comparisons, timing, language preference, a full behavioral fingerprint for every visitor. 2. Creates unique 1:1 journeys instantly Email → SMS → WhatsApp → AI Voice — whatever that specific shopper responds to. No flows. No templates. 3. Follows up in the right tone, language & moment If a shopper buys in Hindi and researches in English, Markopolo adjusts. If they only respond at 7 PM on WhatsApp, it adapts. 4. Fully autonomous campaigns No workflow builders. No segmentation maintenance. Just automated, deeply personal conversations that bring people back. The result? 30–40% recovery consistently. If @markopolo_ai doesn’t beat your current recovery rate within 60 days, we’ll refund you.

Mark my words, this is how cursor and all the reasoning models will become profitable. Unskippable ads as you wait for tasks to complete

Hot take: the people criticizing this are ngmi. The best way to validate an idea is to roll up your sleeves and do it by hand. Once you actually hit that growing pain issue, that's your signal to raise, build, and scale
