Genuinely top 10 most embarrassing things I’ve had to tell anyone

i was positive this show would be unceremoniously cancelled after one season. how is a spinoff of a spinoff on season three. how is there still a big enough fanbase



wisconsin = pennsylvania illinois = new york indiana = new jersey




MKBHD launched an app charging what Netflix costs for something your phone does for free. The math was always broken. $11.99 monthly for wallpapers means competing with Netflix ($15.49), Spotify ($11.99), and YouTube Premium ($13.99) for the same wallet share. You're asking people to value rotating backgrounds as much as unlimited music or ad-free video. The real constraint wasn't the criticism. Wallpaper apps with 1M+ downloads charge $3-5 one-time or $1.99/month max. MKBHD priced 6x above market because he thought brand equity would override product economics. What makes this revealing: creator businesses fail when they import creator monetization logic into product pricing. His audience pays $0 for YouTube content because ads subsidize it. Asking the same people to pay $144/year for wallpapers assumes attention transfers to willingness-to-pay. It doesn't. The audience relationship that works for ad-supported content breaks completely when you flip to premium pricing on low-utility products. The product needed to be free with ads or $2.99 one-time. At $11.99/month, you're not competing with other wallpaper apps. You're competing with every subscription in someone's budget, and wallpapers lose that fight 100 times out of 100. Respect for trying. But trying without repricing for market reality just burns runway faster.Retry




First @Wendys drops a snack wrap & now @BurgerKing follows suit but at a more realistic price point of $2.99 (vs $6.29 at Wendy’s). Such an interesting conversation internally where we could do an updated version right now but aren’t (w no new sku’s) twitter.com/mcfranchisee/s…

The message about bringing back the Snack Wrap was loud and clear a few years ago—and McDonald’s started listening. Since that moment, the return has been in the works for about two years. The biggest challenge? Bringing back chicken strips. I had pushed for a simpler solution, but some folks at @McDonalds were set on using the original recipe, not a modern twist. Fun fact: the OG Snack Wrap actually used our chicken breast, sliced up in-house. I’ve been digging around for one of the original “build” guides but haven’t tracked it down yet. x.com/mcfranchisee/s…


just remembered that americans don’t have random old castles in the countryside that they can go and visit
