Making it easy to start something is the fastest way to make it nearly impossible to succeed at it. 4.6 million podcasts exist today. Only 390,000 are active. That’s an 89% death rate. The single biggest year for new podcast creation was 2021 at 751,000 new shows. By 2025 that number fell to 198,000. A 74% drop, because almost nobody who started one found an audience. The App Store already looks identical. 2.2 million apps on iOS. A quarter of them have fewer than 100 downloads. Only 1% of apps ever cross $1 million in annual revenue. The top 200 apps earn $82,500 per day. The top 800 earn $3,500 per day. Below that, effectively zero. Naval is right that coding an app is the new starting a podcast. Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, and GPT can get a solo founder from idea to shipped app in a weekend. That mirrors 2014 podcasting perfectly, when Anchor and a $60 mic made it possible for anyone to publish audio. Distribution decides everything after that. When 4.6 million podcasts compete for 619 million listeners, the top 1% captures virtually all the ad revenue. The same math applies to apps, except the App Store algorithm is even more winner-take-all than podcast discovery ever was. Podcasting taught us exactly what happens when creation gets easy and distribution stays hard. We’re about to learn that lesson again at 10x the speed.

We initially thought GLP-1s like Ozempic, Tirzapeptide and Retatutride just reduced food cravings. Now, we know they work for alcohol, cocaine, gambling and other addictions too But do you know what runs on exactly the same circuit? Falling in love GLP-1 receptors sit in the exact same brain regions that light up when you’re in love The insane thing about them is that they don’t just suppress appetite. They suppress wanting in general, including romantic craving another person Something like 60M+ people are now on anti-desire drugs and it happened in the blink of an eye I predict in the coming years, we will see people on these drugs be less able to fall in love. We will also see them fall out of love, or be unable to feel it, in relationships that were previously great If your girlfriend or boyfriend started taking GLP1s and your relationship started failing, there’s a good chance that’s why

I googled why one hour is 60 minutes and one minute is 60 seconds and the answer wasn’t even that exciting
