you ever spend $14 more to hit free shipping on a $6 item? your brain didn't do math. it did emotion. "free shipping" reframes spending as saving. once your brain files it as saving, the guilt disappears. the threshold was designed to make you feel smart for spending more.

You get paid on Friday and by Saturday you own a new air fryer, a skincare set, and a shirt you'll wear once. Your brain was running on low dopamine all week. Payday doesn't just refill your bank account. It gives your brain permission to chase the hit it's been starving for. The money isn't the trigger. The relief is.

@DrewBailer insane no one has fixed this yet

Having to paying the full-day price on a 3pm hotel check-in is criminal

@idanmasas What has been your biggest growth channel so far?

Closing in on the $1k MRR mark with my one month old mobile app

@vitaliidodonov @stanleyforx Having an issue with the x linking on sms mobile

Got 300 signups from a single viral post for @stanleyforx today. Building in Public is your unfair advantage 🏆

@jackcornetpat How did you make this video

Rise has been collecting dust for almost 2 years and it’s entirely on me 😬 Just shipped a big update and I’m honestly really happy with how it turned out! 🙌

@ManilowOliver Dope makes sense, is that Either $300-$500 base monthly?

It depends on a lot of variables, but using a campaign manager here’s how I would break it down: 5 creators > 60 posts per month. Post on TikTok and crosspost to IG = 300 total posts. Pay creators some combination of retainer + bonus. Either $300-$500 base + $1/2CPM or $750 base + milestone bonuses at 50k / 100k / 500k / 1m etc… With this small amount of creators I would have the campaign manager also create on the campaign. So he/she will be one of your 5 creators and you can add ~$1.5k to their retainer All in: ~ $5.25k before bonuses

Campaign managers are absolutely crushing it on SideShift right now. We’ve built the all-in-one flow for running UGC campaigns: Brand signs up → hires a manager → manager runs the SideShift account → launches creator campaigns → starts generating millions of views Founders spend less time managing creators, and more time running the business. Managers are typically charging $2k–$4k+ per month

@adensdk Go blue. 🐐

Before I built apps, I was a content creator. One of my channels, STARLESS, grew to 2.3M subscribers, 1B views, and hit 1M subs in 75 days. Then I heard the story of Cal AI’s founders, quit YouTube, and spent the next year building mobile apps. Everything I learned about building and scaling apps is inside this article. Give it a read.

you ever add something to your cart, close the tab, then open it again 20 minutes later like you're checking on it? that's your brain running a countdown timer. it manufactured urgency for something that didn't exist an hour ago.

@capital_3x The Noom for personal finance

Pitch me your company in one sentence.

@vitaliidodonov MRR

I just finished writing my most valuable PDF yet: "$0 to $10K MRR in 14 days" (19 pages) It's everything I wish I knew when starting out. I might charge for this in the future, but for now… Reply "MRR" and I’ll DM it to you for free (must follow)

@vitaliidodonov Alpha

I’m launching Stanley (AI Head of Content) on June 1, 2026. Over the next 6-12 months, I'll grow it from $0 → $10M ARR. In public. (While running my $30M ARR business full time) I will also be using only AI employees to do it, so you can copy the playbook. I'll update this thread as I go. Bookmark it and follow along to hold me accountable 🤝 Comment "alpha" to get early access. My social media stats as of today:

@oliverhenry legend

Had some fun teaching some people about content automation. The office was exactly like the internship.

i saw a guy tracking his impulse buys today. no impause. no impulse log. no spreadsheet. just a notes app and zero context about why he keeps spending. like a psychopath.

@ethanbrimhall @higgsfield_ai Should be illegal

wtf is this cancellation flow @higgsfield_ai

@dr_ed_tate @christophersaum Ed 🤝Eddy. Go blue 〽️

@christophersaum Mandatory Go Blue! I’ve worked with a lot of great grads from there.

Stanford and MIT are over-indexed. UCLA, Michigan, UT Austin are under-indexed. Just backed a recent Michigan grad. Seeing high quality UCLA founders in my DMs. Watching UT Austin closely from the ground here. Building outside the top 10? Let’s chat.

@christophersaum Go Blue

@Cernovich Very true. I used to work at DraftKings, but I switched teams from the dark side. I saw a lot of shady tactics firsthand, and now I’m on the other side—building Impause to protect people from the same exploitation I used to help enable.

Online gambling is one of the greatest social evils unleashed on young men especially and also families. Yet almost every conservative moralizing podcaster promotes this poison. Doesn’t add up.

This is the ADHD hyperfocus trap. You're not actually impulse-buying—you're impulsively committing to something, then hyperfocusing on the logistics (shipping, tracking) while the actual use never lands in your brain. The gap between 'I want this' and 'I actually use this' is where most ADHD spending regret lives. Breaking that loop means catching the impulse before the tracking starts, not after the package sits on your shelf.

The ADHD urge to buy a thing, watch all the videos about the thing, religiously track shipping until the thing arrives, excitedly open the shipping box to get to the thing, then place the thing somewhere random and forget about it for 3-60 months.
