@elamri @instinct_inc This should’ve been checked way before it got to this point - from someone who’s done this at scale for the last two years

we have probably rejected over 500k+ in payouts at @instinct_inc for context this mf spammed 1600+ unrelated vids on 200 accs & claimed we owe 100k we will NEVER pay creators for bs content that clearly does nothing for the brand i personally rejected 80k of his payouts & paid him ~2.7k for decent vids most creator programs fail bcuz companies r retarded and dont have the balls to not pay for shit content if ur a company i recommend u first run a campaign elsewhere to understand the level of slop produced by 99% of programs take this as a psa for all grifters or companies tryna run ugc/clipping game is game

@facelessfarms @Kalshi @cluely @instinct_inc @brycent

I got robbed by .@kalshi and ex-@cluely team for $100k Here's exactly what happened with receipts I ended up doing marketing for them via .@instinct_inc and the goal was simple: Post content on faceless pages, get paid per view at the agreed RPM. Listen to the guidelines and create the content So I went to work and delivered over 180 million views (majority coming from very viral videos) At the agreed rate of the campaign, that's over $100,000 owed Then the ghosting started .@elamri wouldn’t respond to my DMS for days after i told him about the payout Then suddenly mass rejections start coming through Videos that had been live for weeks generating millions of views, content that was performing exactly as intended, all rejected The reason (according to the kalshi marketing team): “We don’t approve gooner content” What were they referring to though? My video of one of the top 20 sportswomen in the world was deemed as “NSFW” by them and therefore not approved DESPITE the video having 5M+ views and directly promoting them I have 20+ screenshots of conversations of them trying to explain why and Dris refusing to pay me Dris’ own words: "they ideally just want sports content / memes (which was later direction)" Read that again. "LATER DIRECTION" ASIDE from not paying me for my content and calling it “gooner content” They're literally admitting the direction came after I'd already delivered After the views were already counted. After they realized how much they'd owe me Videos with female athletes apparently don't count as sports to them I asked Dris directly "so by this logic female sports doesn't exist?" His response: “tried mentioning this earlier will try to see if sent" It's been 4 weeks of ghosting now I’ve not been paid anything after generating 200M views I've tried handling this privately but it’s genuinely getting to a point Everyone I mentioned is at fault here because I've been ignored, ghosted, and had 100 excuses made on why I couldn't get paid To the Instinct and the Kalshi team: you know what you owe. It’s VERY scummy of you to think you can get away not paying marketers what you owe them Will never be doing business with these guys again

@ohryansbelt But but they were ivy league how could this be😢

Delve, a YC-backed compliance startup that raised $32 million, has been accused of systematically faking SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance reports for hundreds of clients. According to a detailed Substack investigation by DeepDelver, a leaked Google spreadsheet containing links to hundreds of confidential draft audit reports revealed that Delve generates auditor conclusions before any auditor reviews evidence, uses the same template across 99.8% of reports, and relies on Indian certification mills operating through empty US shells instead of the "US-based CPA firms" they advertise. Here's the breakdown: > 493 out of 494 leaked SOC 2 reports allegedly contain identical boilerplate text, including the same grammatical errors and nonsensical sentences, with only a company name, logo, org chart, and signature swapped in > Auditor conclusions and test procedures are reportedly pre-written in draft reports before clients even provide their company description, which would violate AICPA independence rules requiring auditors to independently design tests and form conclusions > All 259 Type II reports claim zero security incidents, zero personnel changes, zero customer terminations, and zero cyber incidents during the observation period, with identical "unable to test" conclusions across every client > Delve's "US-based auditors" are actually Accorp and Gradient, described as Indian certification mills operating through US shell entities. 99%+ of clients reportedly went through one of these two firms over the past 6 months > The platform allegedly publishes fully populated trust pages claiming vulnerability scanning, pentesting, and data recovery simulations before any compliance work has been done > Delve pre-fabricates board meeting minutes, risk assessments, security incident simulations, and employee evidence that clients can adopt with a single click, according to the author > Most "integrations" are just containers for manual screenshots with no actual API connections. The author describes the platform as a "SOC 2 template pack with a thin SaaS wrapper" > When the leak was exposed, CEO Karun Kaushik emailed clients calling the allegations "falsified claims" from an "AI-generated email" and stated no sensitive data was accessed, while the reports themselves contained private signatures and confidential architecture diagrams > Companies relying on these reports could face criminal liability under HIPAA and fines up to 4% of global revenue under GDPR for compliance violations they believed were resolved > When clients threaten to leave, Delve reportedly pairs them with an external vCISO for manual off-platform work, which the author argues proves their own platform can't deliver real compliance > Delve's sales price dropped from $15,000 to $6,000 with ISO 27001 and a penetration test thrown in when a client mentioned considering a competitor

@beyoumf Why the fuck has no one said family? You never get another

I dare you to name something better than money

@calebcanales_ It’s tough. Bigger than just a label. Gotta focus on people who actually embody the traits and don’t just claim it

@MattEpstein16 Don’t leave out the OGs steak and shake

Prediction: Burger King is going back to beef tallow fries. They’ll be the first major fast-food chain to do it. When it happens, the entire health and food community will lose their minds. This feels like a page straight out of the Domino’s “our food sucks” turnaround which made their stock go from $5-$500 Generational money to be made here:

Today’s generations education can be summed up between those who 1- know what’s true off facts 2- believes what’s true off feelings and social media posts #2 is who you need to stay away from
