WTF my name is currently pinned to the top of @elonmusk’s X profile 🤯 5 years ago I feel in love with working on social media for a few reasons. It started when I was an electronic DJ running my own events at night clubs. I found that posting and running ads could literally make people turn up to our club takeovers. It was a beautiful thing, people turned up to our events, they had the opportunity to enjoy a night full of the niche music they loved. Then, during the pandemic I was running Facebook pages getting millions of views a month, sharing positive and entertaining viral content during dark lockdown days. The rush of first posting something that millions of people saw was incredible. It also left me with a feeling of ‘there’s just so much potential out there!' It’s crazy to think that anyone with a social media profile is only ever one post/ video/ tweet etc away from reaching and having an impression on millions of people. If you chose it to be, that can be a valuable, positive impression. Sometimes, the person that finds the content valuable just so happens to be arguably the richest and most influential person on the planet. BTW Nobody is more surprised than me 😂 Through social media there is an abundance of opportunity. Opportunity to work on cool projects, positive projects, with fantastic people and great sense of achievement. Now I get I am blessed to work with a growing list of creators and companies, providing interesting and valuable content for the world to consume on YouTube & X. A big thanks to @farzyness for the opportunity. A big, Big, BIG thanks to @matheusmalb for your amazing help and commitment in helping me build this agency! Thank you.

Well I think there are 3 key factors which if improve, could make X genuinely contend with YouTube. 1. (Demand side) Dramatically improve the X viewing experience. X needs to massively improve user experience of consuming long form video content on X. This will increase the size of people consuming long form content on the platform, I think that would happen almost immediately as there is a lot of long form content being posted here, people just rarely watch more than 60 seconds here. This make’s the platform ripe to engage creators. 2. (supply side) Massively increase creator incentives Creators needs to be given a reason to post on X first, or exclusively on X, basically not just as an afterthought as they already made the content for YouTube. Stronger ad revenue, better creator revenue tools, premium subscriptions etc or even unique X only monetization. 3. Leverage X's existing reach + pay creators more Creators already get massive reach on X, this is something YouTube doesn’t do on the same scale. If X can use their unique advantage, reach, with a highly enticing monetization structure... I think X has a very unique valuproposition which is specific to them, which would make them a worth contender. A YT copy might not cut it to over take YT, but a blend might. How might this work? I think if X kept its main timeline, but then once a long form video is feed to someone, they could click onto it and get into a UI similar to YT, you’d blend both discovery with a better UI/UX for consumption.

@DavidCarbutt_ Do you foresee a day in the near future (within couple years) where @X video platform could have a better ‘value proposition’ than the current YouTube platform for content creators like yourself? Or does that feel out of reach no matter how fast @X and @elonmusk moves now

YouTube has changed every part of my life. It's given me the freedom to quit a job I didn't love, build a business I actually care about, and create proper financial security for me and my family. Over the years, I've helped dozens of creators and business owners do the same, generating millions in revenue across the channels we've worked on. Everything I know is now in an 8-week course, and I keep adding to it. If you want the course, or 1-1 coaching, edits or help scaling YouTube for your business, comment 'YouTube' below and I'll send the details. Make sure you follow me first so I can DM you.

incredible stuff. Go humans!

The shockwaves coming out of starship are out of the world. It’s incredible the rocket doesn’t just destroy itself tbh.

10 YouTube tips for businesses 1 A sponsor pays you $3K for 100K views because they'll make $8K back, if you sell the product yourself, you keep the whole $8K

Looking back at a video we made that did 9 million views on X. I've put what we do into a course. Follow + comment 'YouTube' below if you want in. x.com/farzyness/stat…

Six months ago I was reviewing a client's YouTube channel thinking this won't scale. My agency was good, clients were happy, money was flowing in, but I was the bottleneck. Every channel needing my eyes on it, every strategy session, every review. There's only so much of me to go around. So I started writing down everything I'd learned across 6 years on YouTube. Niche selection. Packaging. Retention. Monetisation. Every pattern I'd seen work across the channels we'd grown to millions of views. Six months later, that document is an 8-week course. And one of our client videos just passed 1.4 million views, $9,800 in revenue, and 19,700 new subs, in 54 days. The system is the system. It doesn't care if you've got a team behind you or you're recording on your phone after work. It just rewards the people who actually use it.

What a 1:1 GPU-to-CPU ratio in data centers means for $AMD revenue. The goal of this post is to help predict AMD's CPU potential revenue. Not financial advice, feedback welcome. In the early days of AI, big training clusters usually used 4 to 8 GPUs for every single CPU. The CPU was mostly just there to manage things while the powerful GPUs did all the heavy math for training models. That’s changing quickly now. Newer AI uses (like running models in real-time, chatbots, autonomous agents, and smarter reasoning systems) need a lot more regular computing power, not just raw GPU power. So companies are putting more CPUs into their builds. Both AMD & Intel are seeing the balance move closer to 1 GPU per 1 CPU in many new projects. Simple Example with Numbers: Let’s keep it conservative and assume 2 GPUs per 1 CPU (instead of full 1:1). Big tech companies are expected to buy roughly 5 to 7 million high-end GPUs per year in 2027. At a 2:1 ratio, that would mean they also need 2.5 to 3.5 million high-end CPUs to go with them. At true 1:1, it could mean 5 to 7 million CPUs. That’s a huge increase in CPU demand compared to the old 8:1 days. What This Could Mean for AMD Revenue:AMD makes both GPUs (Instinct) and CPUs (EPYC). Let’s do some simple “back of envelope” math on the CPU opportunity alone: Assume AMD wins 35–40% market share of these new AI-driven server CPUs (they’re currently around 40% revenue share and still growing). Average price per high-end EPYC CPU in these builds: ~$7,500 – $9,500 (mix of flagship and high-core models after discounts). At 2:1 ratio (2.5–3.5 million new CPUs needed): AMD could sell 875,000 – 1.4 million EPYC CPUs → $6.5 billion to $13 billion in additional annual CPU revenue. At true 1:1 (5–7 million CPUs needed), AMD could sell 1.75 – 2.8 million CPUs → $13 billion to $27 billion in annual CPU revenue. Even the conservative 2:1 scenario shows a meaningful boost on top of AMD’s existing data center business (which was already ~$16–17 billion in 2025). Important Caveats: These are rough estimates. Actual results depend on GPU shipment growth, how fast the ratio really shifts to 1:1, power/grid constraints, and competition from Intel. The numbers lean somewhat optimistic. Note: Not all of this would be purely “extra” — some replaces normal server refreshes. Bottom line: CPUs are becoming much more important again. The closer the ratio gets to 1:1, the bigger the opportunity for AMD, Intel, and the whole data center market. This is not financial advice.
