@BasedTorek @ecom_cork I’m not disagreeing that founder ads don’t work, they indeed work very well. Just saying that probably the performance will go up if you use a creator that looks like the audience. He makes a very fair point that indeed you need to run both and test for yourself

This is not true. You don’t need to look like your audience to make video ads that crush. Is it harder? Maybe, but if you can whip out your phone make winning ads in 20 minutes that’s easier than sourcing creators, briefing, editing etc. I’d say do both. But don’t blindly follow takes on Twitter test stuff yourself.
DTC Midas@DTCMidas

Only if you’re selling to an audience that looks like you. Same holds for ecom. If you’re a 23 year old founder selling a lifestyle change product to boomer women, it makes no sense to film ads yourself. A good creator that actually looks like your audience will almost always outperform you, and that easily makes up for the “extra cost” of not filming yourself. Always try to match the creator to the audience your selling to.

@DTCMidas @ecom_cork That’s not what he said. He said that it can still work, and founder ads are in fact more likely to work when done properly You are thinking too much in specific rules or methods, but creative is very broad and there are no general rules to do things

@ecom_cork Do you think that if you’d take your winning ads that you filmed by yourself and give them to a good creator that looks like the avatar you’re selling to they won’t perform way better?

also don't forget this tweet!! i'd say my biggest value drop of 2025. willing to make another one of these charts as the engagement has been crazy, but what would we want to see another chart like this for? 👀
ScaleSurfer@scalesurfer_

Alright, let's get into it. This is my bulletproof 2026 Meta campaign structure, and yes, I'm dropping it for free because I genuinely don't care, this is what gurus are charging you 20K courses for 😂 Before I even get started: I already know what's coming in the comments. Some nerd is going to show up and start preaching about the 1CBO Consolidated structure like. Cool. Maybe it works for your little $500/day account. But let me be very clear, I have never, not once, seen a brand sustain $500K+ per day consistently on a single CBO at scale. Not one. If you have receipts, slide in. Until then, sit down. This structure isn't theory. It's not something I read in a course or saw in some guru's carousel post. It was built in the trenches, tested across multiple accounts, multiple verticals, real money on the line, and it has allowed me to scale brands faster than most people think is possible while actually staying profitable. That last part matters more than the scaling, by the way. Scaling broke is easy. Scaling with margin is the game. I'm not going to tell you what products, what brands, what niches, or what creative angles I'm running. Those questions will be ignored. Not because I'm gatekeeping, but because the structure is the structure. It works. The variables are on you. Comments are open. Smart questions only. If you come in with something basic, don't expect a response. Do with this what you want. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER — SCALESURFER OUT🤙

@LachezarVoynov True. Anyone saying something else doesn’t fully understand creative market signals. Funding backs unit economics and scaling, not creative validity

wrong we've produced winning ads for some of the brands you see here then we replicated the same winning ad creative formats for other clients we work with which again turned into winning ads when you copy an ad creative format that works for IM8, you don't copy their CAC, LTV and AOV you simply recreate an ad creative format that has been proven to capture people's attention and usually, if it has worked once, it will work again
DTC Midas@DTCMidas

Stop taking inspiration from these big brands. Well, most of you shouldn’t. Almost all of these brands are funded and have completely different unit economics than you, which means they can sustain way higher CACs and won’t run out of cash. On top of that, they’ve been running a while and/or have celebrity endorsements, which means they’ve built up a level of trust and brand awareness. When you copy their funnels and ads, you’re copying a strategy built on advantages you don’t have. The best brands to take inspiration from are the ones that are bootstrapped and scaling quickly.

Was skeptical about this AI paper craft concept Thought it'd pull views but never actually sell Tested it anyway for a pet brand on cold traffic First week - 115 purchases at $33 CPA Why it worked imo: Anyone can ship product to a few creators and get back some testimonials "Omg you guys I love this" crap This looks like something a brand actually put money and thought into That production value builds trust before the product is introduced Worth a test if everything in your niche looks the same

Record month in June. This is what actually moved the needle: - Launching a new product - More focus on Google Ads - VSL style AI animation ads - Getting more creators on board by seeding - Surf scaling Meta budgets - Testing more LPs (especially hero sections) This makes me excited for Black Friday ‘26.

Neil Swetam | Creative Strategist
Be careful when taking on creative strategist roles. There are quite a few scammers in this space. I have heard multiple cases and have faced also where strategists delivered the work as agreed, only for the brand owner to disappear without making payment.

@kevinnbass @AnthropicAI Individuals like you should get refunded and just banned from ever using claude again Instead of being thankful for the huge value claude provides in the first place, they cry on social media the moment a small inconvenience strikes them, for something uncontrollable

. @AnthropicAI released Fable 5 and told us it would switch to API-only for Fable 5 on June 22. A lot of us purchased additional Max subscriptions to capitalize before the 22nd. Anthropic knew we would do this. Then it rug-pulled and took away Fable access almost as soon was released. Anthropic reset our weekly limits after the rug pull, but that's not enough. We cannot even use the API spend on these accounts because of how much Anthropic throttles the API on Max accounts that use Opus 4.8. So now these accounts are just sitting around. Paid for with money countless customers burned because they were misled. There is a simple solution to this. It is not to reset the weekly limits. We paid money to get something that we did not receive. What we did receive is worthless. We paid Anthropic money, only to receive nothing. Anthropic owes its customers refunds.

"why only 90 days left of yapping" all content alpha is temporary, and people either keep banging their heads against the wall complaining it doesnt work or they move to new ideas and formats after the very popular youtube i did, plus the 100 creators preaching it, now the 3000 person course on yapping that just started it's top of the bell curve will still work, just not alpha hammer while its here, prepare for whats next

If you want to master yaps on video you need the full playbook A. Car yap, literally in your car, pro-tip have the bucees, drink the swig, have some character B. Notebook yap, your video notes are in front of you show them and refer to them C. Whiteboard yap, same concept but delivers authority, this is the yap type with the highest view to follower conversion D. Newsletter yap - this week in my substack I talked XXX establishes you as more intellecual E. "With bro" yap - have someone sitting next to you and you have some interplay F. Graphic yap - 1 visual for every two seconds, supercharge retention this is the playbook, you have maybe 90 days left
