@imvelor caught myself doing it yesterday writing this article

@Raytargt This is true.

YOUR CHATGPT IS 30% DUMBER BY MESSAGE 30. STANFORD PUBLISHED THIS IN 2023. NOBODY TOLD YOU. OpenAI didn't nerf it. your prompt isn't broken. you didn't get worse at prompting. same model that was nailing your nuance 20 minutes ago is now inventing details you never gave it and pitching ideas you already killed two turns back. every "claude got worse" tweet. every "openai nerfed it overnight" Reddit thread. every cancelled Plus subscription at 1am. one mechanic explains all of it. tested across 18 top models. same rot every time. 30 seconds to understand. 5 seconds to fix forever. the prompt-engineering crowd will never teach you this. their entire $97 ebook collapses the moment you learn it. bookmark this and read the article below - 3 minutes. next time you're typing "AS I SAID" in caps at 1am, you'll undo it in one paste.

ROBLOX PAID CREATORS $1.5 BILLION IN 2025. THE TOP 10 MADE $38.5 MILLION EACH. YOU STILL THINK IT'S A KIDS' GAME. a developer built a mining tycoon in 2 hours. a scripter shipped a full game in 4 days. a young team broke the platform in 4 months — 25 million players. none of them wrote a single line themselves. 380 million monthly users. 33% of paid creators never took a CS class. top 1,000 creators average $1.3 million a year. the wall was always Luau. Roblox's own programming language. the thing that runs every door, every coin, every leaderboard. claude writes Luau natively. plugs straight into Roblox Studio via MCP. builds objects, runs playtests, fixes errors live. the dev bootcamp industry will never teach you this. their entire $5,000 course defends a wall that already fell. bookmark this and read the article below - 5 minutes. next time someone says "roblox is for kids," you'll know which $38 million paycheck they're missing.

A GUY IS MAKING $12,000/MONTH ON THE PLAY STORE AND HE'S NEVER WRITTEN A LINE OF CODE. $25 once for a Play Store dev account. $20/month for ChatGPT or Claude. That's it. He types a prompt. AI builds the full app — UI, database, subscription system, push notifications. He uploads the APK, waits 5 days, Google approves it. App goes live for 3 billion Android users. 1,000 subscribers × $4.99/month = $3,493 net after Google's 30% cut. 5,000 × $9.99 = $34,965 net. Same prompt, different pricing tier. he runs three apps. none are social. none are clever. fitness tracker. meal planner. document scanner. the boring niches where churn is 3% and people forget they're paying for years. an "AI personal trainer" pulls $14.99-19.99/month. a meditation app pulls $9.99-12.99. real devs think this is beneath them. the algorithm doesn't. the window is open. most people will scroll past this. bookmark this and give it a weekend. the article below has the exact prompts.

Someone is pulling $12,500/month from a Minecraft server. 500 paying subscribers at $25/month. He doesn't write Java. He typed a few prompts into Claude and got a full SkyBlock server with custom economy, ranks and a whitelist application — built in one evening. Another guy sells one plugin on SpigotMC for $15. 500 monthly sales. $7,500/mo passive. A third takes commissions for custom BentoBox addons. 1,100 servers run BentoBox. Every one is a potential customer. $200-500 per addon, one a week. Nobody plays the base game anymore. 140 million players are on custom servers — SkyBlock, RP, economy, PvP — and every server pays for plugins. The barrier was always Java. Six months of learning before your first sale. Now Claude writes Java and you describe what you want. First sellable plugin in 2-3 hours. Full subscription server in one evening. Open marketplace, payment-ready audience, no gatekeepers.

> stuck for 2 years > burned through 4 paid courses > almost quit in March > read one article comparing Claude and GPT-5.5 > ran the same prompts in both models > shipped 3 products by Sunday > $4k in week one > $18k by month-end > made more in 30 days than his last 6 months at the office

@imvelor open. ping me whenever.

@Raytargt Please open your dm. I want to send you a message in the morning. Southern Europe time. I need to ask a few questions. I’m a writer. Thinking of using these product you mentioned as a way to build a brand and earn too.

@DJwizmusik @Sprytixl respect. one thing that helped people in the comments earlier. pick the most boring niche you can stomach.

@Sprytixl Thanks mate, if this is possible I’m going back to work. I’ve been really annoyed by the tiny peanuts I get paid by DistroKid. I’ve been into it for a while now.

A guy is making $7,500 a month on Spotify and he doesn't tour, isn't on the radio, and has no label. He just typed a text prompt into Suno, got a finished track in 30 seconds and uploaded it through DistroKid for $23 a year. Telisha Jones did the same thing with a $10 subscription and zero music training. Her track hit 13 million Spotify streams, she landed #3 on the Billboard gospel chart and signed a $3 million deal. At the audition she never turned on her camera. Another anonymous creator on Reddit makes $5,000 a month from a catalog of 80 lo-fi and meditation tracks. Another made $30,000 across four months exclusively from sleep music and study playlists. Nobody wins on Spotify releasing AI pop. The money is where real musicians don't want to work - sleep music, meditation, focus, background playlists. People stream this for hours and royalties drop for every single play. $10 on Suno. $23 a year on DistroKid. A niche nobody is fighting for.

@MyMusicXMeMusic @Sprytixl good call-out on Amuse. the point of the post wasn't DistroKid specifically: any distributor works. pick the one that treats you like a customer.

@Sprytixl Distrokid isn't the only music distributor. It's good to be advised that they are accomplices in the AI-music scam. BTW, I personally was mistreated by Distrokid's administrative staff and owner. The owner of Tunecore, which owns Distrokid, was even worse to me. I use Amuse now.

@tonitrades_ @Sprytixl distribution's already commoditized too. the new bottleneck is picking a niche boring enough that real musicians won't fight you for it.

@Sprytixl Suno makes the track. DistroKid handles the rest. $7,500 a month proves the hard part was never the music - it was always getting it in front of people.

@MusicByCaleb @Sprytixl nobody sues a dead market.

@Sprytixl Fuck this shit I can’t wait for AI music to get sued into oblivion

@imvelor don't chase a hit. 80 boring sleep tracks beats 1 banger. pick niches real musicians are too cool for.

@Raytargt I’ll try this.

5 songs. 2 months. $52,000 in royalties. Then a $3M deal at an audition where she never turned on her camera. The AI music economy nobody's explaining yet.

@starmexxx Thanks man. The piece tries to capture it but honestly the scale doesn't fit in 900 words. 50 million people fall asleep to AI music every night and most don't know it.

SPOTIFY IS PAYING A TEENAGER $30,000/MONTH FOR MUSIC HE MADE IN 30 SECONDS 80 AI-generated lo-fi and meditation tracks. uploaded them under a fake artist name. watches royalties come in every month he generates a track in 30 seconds, uploads 10-20 a week, and doubles whatever the algorithm picks up sleep music. study music. lo-fi. the genres real musicians ignore because they're "boring." the same ones streaming on loop for hours and paying out per play a woman used the same $10 app and landed a $3,000,000 record deal. she never turned on her camera at the label meeting bookmark this and give it a few minute this week, then read the article below - it's worth it

The #3 artist on Billboard's chart last year signed a $3M record deal. She's AI-generated. Made on a $10 Suno subscription. Uploaded to Spotify by someone with no music training. We're so early to what's happening here it's not even funny.

There's a $12,500/month subscription business most people haven't heard of. It runs on Minecraft. No coding skills required anymore. One evening of prompts with Claude gets you a full server ready to launch. This thread maps the entire opportunity.

@Sprytixl Thanks for the share. One number that surprised me researching this: Suno users generate 7 million songs per day. That's Spotify's entire historical catalog, every two weeks. $300M ARR, 2M paid subscribers. Biggest AI consumer product nobody's talking about.

@starmexxx Thanks for sharing. The thing that surprised me most while writing this: it's not even new anymore. The creators earning $5K-$30K/month started a year ago.

A 16-YEAR-OLD IS MAKING $30,000/MONTH ON SPOTIFY. HIS ONLY EXPENSE IS $10 $10 for Suno. $23 a year to publish on Spotify. a niche nobody's fighting for he generates tracks in 30 seconds, uploads 10-20 a week under different artist names, and watches the royalties come in every month sleep music. study music. lo-fi. meditation. the genres real musicians ignore. the same ones keeping people on loop for hours and paying out per stream a woman used the same $10 app and landed a $3,000,000 record deal. she never turned on her camera at the label meeting the window is open. most people will scroll past this bookmark this and give it a few minute this week, then read the article below - it's worth it

@MitcheIl This pattern is quietly destroying the music industry too. 31-year-old, no training, $10 Suno subscription. Uploaded gospel to Spotify under an AI persona. Hit #3 Billboard, signed $3M deal, label never saw her face. Different tool. Same shift.

A 20-year-old American student just did what an entire team of engineers failed to do in two years. And he did it all: > In one night. > With $3 in components. > One infrared diode. > A photoresistor. > A microcontroller the size of a coin. > An old laptop. And Claude Code to convert the data into joint coordinates in real time. He recorded the product for 14 seconds. Posted on Twitter. Didn't tell anyone about it. Seven days later, a massive tech company calls him. They'd been building an AR headset for two years. They were looking for exactly that tech. They'd spent millions but hadn't been able to crack it. The next day, they offered him $230,000. This is what Claude Code does to the gap between you and people with infinitely more resources. It doesn't matter if you're a student, a solo founder, or a 50-year-old trying to keep up with gen z. That kid didn't beat a big tech company because he was smarter. He beat them because he picked up the tool they were sleeping on. Claude Code is the greatest technological shift of our generation. If you're not using it, someone with less experience, less funding, and less time than you already is.
