All I know is that for $8 on April 1 I can officially become Ted Cruz and tweet nothing but porn links.

This is the best setup in the history of setups. How could I NOT watch the video after that setup?

"I promise you that no matter what you think this video is, it isn’t that. I have never been more confident of anything that there is no way you can anticipate what happens immediately after you press play here."

The video (Edit: your video, to be specific!) is fantastic. Thanks. Pushed me over the edge to subscribe. :)

That real estate YouTube video has a real 'Stath Lets Flats' vibe and I like it.

Let me get this straight: Twitter is gonna rug-pull the OG verification on April Fool's Day? For fucking real?

I swear to God that humor and irony is dead, and I am doubly glad I deleted my account(s) in December. Good riddance!

(I do keep one account alive for my professional blog (The Product Bistro) to cross post, so about once a month I dive in. The only things I see as a non-Blue account is a shit-ton of crappy ads for prepper related stuff, and Musk tweets. Even though I have blocked ever variant of Musk. Not missing it at all!)

"0.2% of the site pays for Twitter Blue. I do not believe there is anything that Twitter can do to get that number above even 1% in the next nine days." If Twitter drives away 80% of current users, then Blue subscribers would make up 1% of remaining user base. Might be hard to achieve this in 9 days, but I believe Elon has the skills to pull it off.

"Damn, house of leaves part 2 just fell outta nowhere," I thought as I watched the video. https://backroomsgame.io

STOP - DO NOT INVEST IN SUBSTACK'S BROKEN MODEL!!!

Seriously if they are begging for money and VC bailed it means its a broken model. Think about it, how many regular people are paying per writer $5 to $10 per month? Not enough apparently and the next thing they will introduce is advertising which is 1million times worse. This monetization model is for elites, elite writers and elite readers who can afford to pay to "benefit" from their writing. Its not Twitter but its just as elitist as Twitter and will devolve into the same mess and control mechanism.

Go check out web3. Go check out crypto. Go check out the MVP of my solo hobbiest project "dplatform.me" The next platforms will be web3, crypto, micro-transactions, and governed by decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) or no one

The future is decentralized!
