Which element instantly tells you this is AI-generated?

@FedotOff90 Ive got a silly question. Coming from the AM industry and recently launching my second ecom ever: When we talk about pumping 200 creatives a week, are we about dozens of various marketing angles, or just vid / img variations with the same message which are proven to work?

Everyone talks about creative testing, but funnel testing is a REAL difference maker. 5-10+ new listicles/ advertorials a month is a bare fucking minimum to outscale everyone else

@FedotOff90 Alex, following you for a while. Your insights / ideas are worth gold. Thank ypu.

I used to think you needed multiple SKUs to build a real brand. Add products. Increase AOV. Cross-sell. Build a category. I was wrong. Cost me roughly 18 months of stalled growth and about $300k in operational complexity. The brand in our portfolio doing $14M/year in profit has one product. Same product for 6 years. Refused to launch a single line extension. Their reasoning: every SKU you add is operational complexity, ad account complexity, fulfillment complexity, and customer service complexity. If your one product can do $10M/year, why would you trade that simplicity for revenue spread across products that are individually weaker? One product. Dialed funnel. Strong retention. That's the play. I learned this the slow way. Launched 7 SKUs across two brands trying to manufacture growth. Killed 5 of them within a year and walked the survivors back to single-product economics.

@Cody_Arsenault_ But do they use something official like Stripe, or more low-key payment providers with a white-label front? I‘m about to do the same :p

Is everyone in the dropshipping space who has MRR selling supplements nowadays? I'm seeing so many dropshippers with MRR now.

@xai why the hell are you changing the imagine-pro model output without any notification and without the option to run the prior model? Grok-imagine-imagine and imagine-pro have both now the same crappy outputs. :(

Life at risk: Dear @elonmusk and @Tesla : You need to disable lane assist ASAP as soon as your cars switch the lane to overtake on a country road. If you don’t use signal to turn back into the regular driving direction lane, the car will push you back to stay into the oncoming lane which already caused deadly crashes with other manufactures and I experienced it now myself.

@nkecom Maybe some positive comments came up?

I had an ad that was spending $1000/day at a 0.8 ROAS. All the soft metrics said it was a shit ad. The CPMs on it were 2x higher than the account average. CPC & CTR metrics were shit too. If you had a “testing” campaign - this ad wouldn’t have made it out. But one day, after about 6 weeks of spend, the ad miraculously started printing at a 2.2+ ROAS overnight. It legitimately became one of our best ads. There is no explanation to why this happened & it would have been impossible for any human to predict…. but Meta knew. There’s a lesson in there.

@nkecom generations but nobody took it. Not sure if my simple paywall with feature list was the wrong approach though. But in general I feel like my store could somehow generate MRR as well since people „love to see how theyd look like“, just not sure how to approach that.

@entropyofcharts nice. what do u want to know exactly?

[We’re using AI to generate a 2 ROAS on cold traffic. Whilst accumulating MRR $] This is by far the coolest thing we’ve built for our ecom brands. AI-powered quiz funnels. They’re beautiful. One of our quizzes is currently converting cold traffic at a 2 ROAS, whilst also accumulating subscriptions & also building a shit tonne of emails. Previously, our best-performing funnel was converting at a 1.6 ROAS & we weren’t really capturing any data. This one funnel has changed the trajectory of our whole brand. Of course, we’ve tested quiz funnels before, but this isn’t just any quiz funnel. We’re using AI to engineer it & analyze all the data. Every single hour it measures: - where users drop off - which questions cause friction - what messaging resonates most - what are the main points being felt The best part? If the quiz notices a leak, it will alert us & we can use the built-in split-testing tool to fix the leak. I.e. wherever there is drop-off in the quiz, we will a/b test the page until the drop-off is reduced. Therefore, the quiz only gets better over time…. AI is the best thing to happen to ecom & I genuinely believe that our team is building some of the coolest shit in the space. It’s going to be a great year.

@nkecom Well in my case, im selling watercolor portraits in a specific niche. You get a preview on my page thanks to AI. Most customers buy after 1 - 2 runs but many others just keep generating for fun. Already offered them a subscription after the 3rd run for 4.99 for unlimited /1

@vargastartup What about bans from Claude?

Hired OpenClaw 🦞 to watch TikTok 24/7 - installation took 2 minutes - it watched 100 videos in couple minutes - now I have all trends every five minutes It doesn’t sleep, cost $200/mo and I hired two already

@spaceloop23 Warum haben diese Menschen in so einem Fall das Recht auf Anonymität? Warum publizieren nicht unsere Hacker Aktivisten mal sowas anstelle sich mit Kindergarten Quatsch zu befassen?

@Angry_Staffer What about Jaguar?

I’ve never seen a commercial destroy a company’s reputation before. Great work, Ring.

@ginandstocks Sehe ich genau so. Ich finde es ehrlicherweise amüsant wie sehr sich manch Programmierer noch immer an der Hoffnung „es ist nur Hype“ festklammert anstelle offen zu sein aber, so ist das mit jeder einzelnen neuen Sache. Ob Elektro Auto oder KI. Immer das selbe Spiel.

Ich bin mir inzwischen sicher: KI Agenten werden in 1-2 Jahren alles dominieren. Bedienoberflächen werden obsolet. Software wird obsolet. Hunderttausende Geschäftsmodelle/Unternehmen werden sterben. Wir sehen den Beginn (bzw. das Ende) gerade an den Börsen (SaaS Apocalypse).

Oder eher empfänglicher für Bullshit. Viel witziger an deiner Aussage ist jedoch, dass die Mehrheit im Osten trotzdem in der Opferrolle verbleibt und erwartet das der Staat hilft anstelle Eigeninitiative oder Veränderung selbst anzustreben. Das ist der große Unterschied zwischen Westen und Osten. Im Osten wird gemeckert aber nichts verändert.

@entropyofcharts @paddleonthesea @benjamin_stork Im Osten sind die Menschen feinfühliger gegenüber Parolen und Märchen...

Szenario, kommende Tage: Zelenskyj wird der absurden Forderung nach verfassungswidriger Gebietsabtretung an die russischen Massenmörder nicht zustimmen. Darf er auch gar nicht, weil er sonst eben die ukrainische Verfassung bricht und damit seinen Amtseid. Natürlich ->

@paddleonthesea @benjamin_stork Ich bin im südlichen Westen groß geworden, mit 10 Jahren Zwischenstation in Berlin. Bis ich in den tiefsten oberen Osten gezogen bin, habe ich nie das West / Ost Ding verstanden. Nun versteh ich es, dank DDR hängen gebliebener Masse.

@benjamin_stork Was mir auffällt, dass insbesondere "west"sozialisierte immernoch ein zwei-staaten "Gefühl" von DE im Kopf haben. Scheint sehr schwer zu sein davon weg zu kommen. Oder anders ausgedrückt, man erkennt sie genau daran. 🤷

@GrandpaRoy2 Tbf, I live at the Baltics (Gernany) and we have lots and lots russian (military air) activity here since approx around 2yrs or even more.

Russian blogger “Atomic Cherry” argues that Russia is in the preliminary phase of a war with Europe, and the main battle will be for control of the exit from the Baltic Sea. “The scenario of war between Europe and Russia, which still seems abstract to most observers, … 1/

@nolive @signulll Walt what? Analytics isnt free anymore?

@signulll Back then, they offered $50 worth of Adwords credit. Back then, CPC were $0.10 Back then, Google Analytics was free and amaizing.

when dropbox first dropped their referral program, i spun up google ads… spent maybe $10 total & walked away with 1TB of free storage. easiest growth hack of my life. what’s the biggest “hack” you’ve ever pulled?

@MenthorQpro @jakescanlan Doesnt make any sense. Why would Iran than even bother to close down Hormuz of the biggest impact would be actually on of their allies?

Oil Cheat Sheet.

@sagtdirehnichts @AugusteCalami Bullshit.

@AugusteCalami Also selbst im tiefsten Osten kriege ich hier einen Termin in 2-4 Wochen, wenn es relativ dringlich ist. Wo ist das denn?

Ich zahle dieses Jahr über 1100,- €/Monat freiwillig den gesetzl. Krankenkassenbeitrag. Meine Frau braucht jetzt einen Facharzttermin beim Nuklearmediziner. Der Termin wurde gestern ausgemacht, weil sich bei ihr in der Schilddrüse ein Knoten vergrößert hat. Und zwar ist er sechsmal so groß, wie noch vor zwei Jahren. Der Termin ist am 20 Januar 2026. 🥳🥳 Keine Pointe
