@2irl4u Exactly

When all the videos look like this, no one will wanna watch any of them Life has a funny way of balancing out

How much we learn

@VadimStrizheus 1

As a founder, who would you rather hire? 🤔 1. Person with 5 years of Claude Code experience. 2. Person with 30 years of software engineering experience.

@TryHeardlyApp My reach on X is messed up since i switched to english… on other platforms these videos are super viral

@istok How come such a great post has no comments yet? I'll be the first one!

@hanaadrovic @grok Objasnio je Elon. Isto je kao da je uradio ovo u Photoshopu, odgovorna je osoba koja napravi sliku a ne Photoshop kao program.

hej @grok kako je ovo legalno

@richard_baak It’s the comments trigger :)

@istok What a great story, very nicely told! But, why is her photo backwards in the picture frame...? Those metal clips should be on the backside, not in front of the picture. 😅

The woman who turned Van Gogh from worthless… to $10 billion

@JohnBunyan316 it's due to the X algorithm, I got too many inactive followers from Serbia when I switched to english here.

@istok Btw, are you shadowbanned? 73k followers, but <5 comments on such a great video!

@JohnBunyan316 Well, if there was no Johanna, Van Gogh's art would be forgotten, that's for sure, based on everything we know, she had to dedicate years of hard work to launch him. So I guess there were many of the same examples without their Johanna.

@istok Tragic. But don't you think that art appraisers would be able to tell who were "top artists"? Even if some are only rehabilitated decades after their death? Or do you have an example of forgotten geniuses? (Can happen to the best. J.S.Bach's music was forgotten for decades).

@robertghartley And in life in general… thanks Robert

Great video on the power of storytelling in marketing

@JohnBunyan316 The real question is how many obscure artists are out there, with even more dramatic lives (and paintings) - whose stories remained untold

@istok Great video, both on art and marketing. I personally think that van Gogh's paintings would have become known eventually, as I believe in the (at least partial) objevtivity of beauty, but his letters surely helped. Also, some prices nowadays are "too" high - for other reasons.

@WyattCatarina Thanks for sharing my video.

Did u know that Vincent Van Gogh's painting were worthless at one time?? Nobody wanted them—not even after his death. They were headed to rot forgotten in storage... Shocking, but check this out, it really brought me to tears and explains everything! 🤯

@Galactic_1225 @iluminatibot I can sense this has been written by AI, but still great response!

25 years later and you’re still posting the same 9/11 equivalent of “jet fuel can’t melt dank memes.” That video you keep recycling has been explained so many times that the steel beams themselves are tired of hearing it. When 30+ floors of a 110-story building drop even a few feet, they hit the floors below with the force of a small asteroid. All that air, concrete, and office furniture has to go somewhere, so it blasts sideways at 70–80 mph. That’s not explosives, that’s basic physics. “Steel columns impaled a building hundreds of feet away!” Yeah, and a golf ball can fly 300 yards and it doesn't take Tiger Woods using C4 to do it. The towers weighed half a million tons each; once the collapse started, the energy released was bigger than most conventional bombs. No secret nanothermite, no silent super-explosives, no space lasers, just gravity doing what gravity does best: turning skyscrapers into really expensive carcinogenic sculptures. (PS. The number of fatalities caused by the builders' greed and ignorance in utilizing materials such as asbestos was significantly greater than that of the attack.) The fact that you’re still breathlessly asking “Explosives?” in 2025 is adorable. It’s like watching someone stare at a magic trick for two decades and insist the rabbit was pre-loaded in the hat by the Illuminati. NIST, Purdue University, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and every structural engineer who isn’t selling a self-published PDF have explained this to death. At this point the only thing being “ejected hundreds of feet” is your credibility. Come back when you’ve got seismic data, audio signatures, or a single shred of explosive residue instead of the same slow-motion clip you’ve been spamming since MySpace was cool. Until then, enjoy the view from 2001, the rest of us moved on.

25 years later and the government still can’t explain how steel columns were ejected from the Twin Towers during the collapse on 9/11 and impaled themselves into a building hundreds of feet away. Explosives?

@Rorg453089 I understand, but I can't make up a story like "Rolex is made in China"... it would be a stretch. And this with designer handbags is not a stretch at all :)

@istok Sub / GMT cases, bracelets, bezels, wheels are. The only thing that is, almost for sure, is fully or mostly made from and in Switzerland are the movements. As Omega...

The EU legal loophole that lets brands label products “Made in Italy” when they’re made in China:

@cica_sagorio @grok because most of these followers are from Serbia and here people care just about Vučić, Ćacilend, corruption, etc. So the videos have low initial engagement and the algorithm thinks it's boring... on Instagram each of these have millions of views because reels have diff algo.

@Rorg453089 the watches are not made in China, I know that for sure. Maybe some accessories...

@istok The fact that a vast part of their production is made in Switzerland? Switzerland, China.
