@gauravsabnis Any beach town/city you will find people are more fit and healthy overall

Observation. Brazilians are, on average, the fittest people I've seen in my travels across 35 countries. Very low proportions of overweight or underweight people. Lots of physical activity. Number of people running in Rio at all hours is very high.

@robj3d3 Forgetting the best part... All the kitty cats!

I just moved to Cyprus 🇨🇾 My first impressions and why I moved: > it's safe (unlike rest of Europe) > friendly people (unlike rest of Europe) > quiet > clean air > fast WiFi > tax friendly > great coffee > amazing food > very walkable > incredible weather > affordable (€2 for coffee, €7 for meal) > great laptop cafe culture (unlike rest of Europe) > growing tech scene (unlike rest of Europe) It's been so long since I had somewhere I could lock in from and call home. I was torn between UAE and Cyprus but the last month made my decision for me. And so far I am so happy with my decision.

@adv_ceo @adv_ceo

@adv_ceo is the "client token" the API key you are referring to?

How to never have that happen and never get locked out - Create a Meta Dev Account - in the BM Create an "app" - give the system user admin rights - store the api key for the system user This user will never get blocked ever no matter what and with the api key you can add new profiles to the bm even when all others are blocked

@NoahRyanCo When the body is exposed to parasites/bacteria, it develops more antibodies. More adaptable and stronger tolerance is built. This is why Vegans get sick so easily. And those farm boys / small town construction workers who breath in toxins 24/7 are bullet proof

Reverse engineering times when I felt at my peak and they all coincide with prolific raw seafood consumption. There is something to this.

@karri_tweets @conoritaya What about Loop?

@conoritaya and if you are using skio, commslayer has a nicely integrated support agent taking care of the rest of the subscription issues

We've integrated every major subscription platform over the last three years. Skio is by far the best we've used. (especially for CPG brands scaling past $1M/month) Why: - Customer portal is easy to use so churn drops. - Their API is flexible enough to build custom subscription experiences. - Support team actually understands e-commerce, not just the software. If you're still on a basic subscription app and wondering why retention is hard, this could be your answer. Such an improvement for our clients.

Everyone talks big like their running at a loss on first order but have yet to see any of y'all prove it (Excluding VC backed subscription brands)

@BallinFil Every saas should have GPT built in for users to talk to. Gathers data and feedback , then reports to owner. Eliminates need for call.

Every SaaS app should have an option at sign up that is: "For a 90% discount for the first 3 months for your team, commit to a weekly call with us and one of your team members to ask you questions about how you're using the tool"

@Seanfrank moats no longer exist in DTC. Best marketer wins.

Lululemon was THE brand. It was worth 40 billion dollars. It was worth more than Honda. But you can’t stay hot forever. Wishing them the best with this turnaround.

@connor_m Let’s not forget how much the 10% signup discount affects margins at scale!

It's hilarious nobody talks about the impact of site pop-ups on advertising costs. On 4/4 of my brands, when we've removed pop-ups and anything else that impacts time on site, our CPMs and CPAs drop. "but but but look at how it impacts your data collection and email flows long term" Completely unaffected. We simply measured the volume of signups we had with popups, and looked at ways to rebuild that volume somewhere else, one example is a simple quiz funnel, we segment off a fraction of ad spend to maintain the volume from here, I expected these campaigns to run at a loss, they don't, and we have a flow of better informed sign-ups that increased the revenue per data collection by 15%. That's before even talking about how it naturally improves open/click rates and deliverability. In the last 12 months our CPMs have reduced by 13%, our CPA is flat, we've spent 180% more on Meta. When you read things on X, instantly assume it's a paid partnership until you're proved otherwise.

@C_Shelefontiuk @jforjacob There are too many lulls in Interstellar for it to be a top 10 movie. I can think of many scenes that could have been discarded. Same goes for a lot of Tarantino movies.

@jforjacob How tf u think Interstellar was just ok 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 That shit was an absolute masterpiece on many levels

Honestly feel like this generation doesn’t know what a good movie is Like I watched Interstellar for the first time a couple days ago because my girlfriend said it was “one of the best movies ever” It was ok

@ecom_cork I’m going through this process right now. The big realization is it’s actually 100x better to be a visitor in Canada than a resident in Canada. Keep your Canadian passport and get rid of everything else.

Do I leave my homeland for 6 months a year to save millions?? Some thinking to do.

I just built a $10K/month creative strategist inside Claude Code 🤯 Give it your competitor Facebook page URLs → it scrapes their ads, watches every video with AI, and delivers a data-backed creative brief with 10 ad concepts in your brand voice. All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are still manually scrolling the Meta Ad Library, screenshotting ads into Google Docs, and guessing at what's working. If you're spending hours every week pulling competitor ads one by one, watching videos to figure out the hook, copying notes into a brief, and rewriting concepts from scratch every time... This system eliminates the entire loop: → Apify scrapes your competitors' active ads from Meta Ad Library (video + image) → Downloads every creative asset locally → Gemini watches each video and analyzes the hook, angle, visual format, copy framework, CTA, and emotional trigger → Runs the full batch and finds the patterns that repeat across 3+ ads → Claude generates 10 ad concepts using the proven mechanics, matched to your brand voice No manually scrolling the Ad Library. No screenshotting ads into docs. No guessing which hooks are actually working. What you get: → Individual creative breakdowns for every competitor ad (7 dimensions each) → A pattern report showing which hooks, formats, and triggers keep repeating → 10 ready-to-brief ad concepts traced back to real competitor data → A reusable system — new competitors, new brief, same pipeline The research that takes your team a full day now runs in 15 minutes for ~$3 in API costs. Built 100% in Claude Code with Apify + Gemini. I put together a full playbook showing you can build the entire thing step-by-step from scratch.

@ThomasT290498 @karri_tweets Brandwise

@karri_tweets i still can't connect my Commslayer to my facebook account for DMs😭

imagine you've spent the last decade building a software company to 100M+ ARR and raised 100M+ while doing it. 400+ employees. even a CERTIFIED B CORP. and then suddenly a team of 5 is building better product and giving it away at 5-10% of the cost? can someone explain: what’s wrong with these scaleups outside postscript? why is saas most of the time getting worse at scale?

@ecomkane Can you expand on the meta structure?

if you’re selling a shopify store, buyers check these 7 variables before making an offer. - chargeback rate - monthly churn - profit consistency - clean meta structure - payment processors - asset list - refund rate move 3 of them and a $150k store can sell for $200k

@briannjho Gemini chats deteriorate quickly, that’s the main problem with it. Once sorted it has everything else to be the best

Over the past few months, I've started to use Gemini more for copy, content briefs and images. Anything related to Marketing for eCom. I used to use Claude a ton. Now I can do more with Gemini than Claude. It makes things more efficient imo since you can do everything there.

@ZedNilm1 Doc

$116k/month from an AI ad featuring a pharmacist recommending a food supplement he's an ai generated character, filmed in an ai generated pharmacy, with a name tag and everything but your brain doesn't question it for a second white coat, shelves full of medicine, confident hands, calm authoritative voice every trust signal is there and none of it is real the viewer thinks they're getting advice from a professional they're watching a synthetic character engineered to convert no actor to pay, no pharmacy to rent, no legal headaches with real doctors just clone the format, swap the product, run it in any country, any language this is why ai ad creatives are going to completely change health and wellness marketing rt + comment "doc" and i'll send you the full breakdown (follow for dm)

@blvckledge It’s already happened to AMZ marketplace. Suppliers see their customer scaling, dupe the listing , ai rework everything undercut price. Once they figure out video ads (not far off with help of ai tools now) we are in trouble.

there's a massive threat to ecom brands in the next few years suppliers can now easily step into the role of a brand with chinese open-source models like kimi k2.5, they can produce ad creative, build landing pages, and test offers faster and cheaper than most brands can keep up with. there’s nothing stopping them from plugging in agents, spinning up 100 stores, and running volume at scale. why keep selling you the product for 5 bucks so you can slap a logo on it and sell it for 150 and they’ll undercut on price because they own the supply chain. so if your unit economics are soft, there's no escape hatch in that environment. if your aov is too low and your ltv doesn't cover your cac, you can't spend your way to profitability and you can't optimize your way out of a model that's broken at its core. the only moat left will be the stuff a lot of brands have been putting off branding, community, subscriptions, email flows, loyalty, and getting your paid channels as efficient as they can be. the unit economics need to be ahead of where acquisition costs are today, because they’ll only go higher from here.
