There's nothing that gives you greater joy and peace than waking up early every day, performing your Fajr salah behind the imam, then remembering Allah and pondering life for 10 minutes.

congrats to the replit team

@aakashgupta this is a pretty dumb take on all counts and honestly self-contradicting. the audience did not leave with the people, the people left the pro-israel narrative ben shapiro peddles.

The Daily Wire is the case study of why personality-driven media companies can't compound. Peak in late 2023: Shapiro's YouTube alone pulled 170M monthly views. Daily Wire+ subscriptions, a Nashville studio operation, Bentkey kids streaming, an e-commerce arm with razors and chocolates and cigars. The company was running a billion-dollar conservative Disney bet. Then they made the studio bet bigger. Pendragon Cycle, an Arthurian fantasy series of the kind that has bankrupted larger production houses. Bentkey trying to compete with Disney for kids' attention. Daily Wire+ chasing Netflix. Running a newsroom, a film studio, a children's streaming platform, and a private-label consumer goods business simultaneously requires either limitless capital or extraordinary discipline. Some of it worked. Matt Walsh's "Am I Racist?" was the top-grossing documentary of 2024. Most of it didn't. In March 2024, they parted ways with Candace Owens. She walked into the open market and built a show that competes with theirs. Today she has 5.5M YouTube subscribers and added 10.9M followers across platforms since January 2025, generating roughly 805M views in that window. Daily Wire converted its biggest distribution asset into its largest competitor. Early 2025, co-founder Jeremy Boreing stepped down as co-CEO and launched a solo podcast outside the company he co-founded. Bentkey was shuttered the same year. Entire team cut. Then the audience math hit Shapiro himself. 170M monthly YouTube views in late 2023 to roughly 22M in early 2026. An 85% collapse in 18 months. Another 60K subscribers gone in the last 90 days alone. Layoffhedge.com estimates cumulative workforce reduction above 60% over the past year. Tucker Carlson left Fox in 2023, kept his audience, runs his shop with a fraction of the headcount. Megyn Kelly's network drew 138M YouTube views in February alone. The personalities figured out they don't need the platform. The platform discovered the opposite. Daily Wire built a billion-dollar valuation on names that can walk, take the audience with them, and run a competing show from a laptop the next morning. 170M views to 22M. The company kept the overhead. The audience left with the people.

I'm assembling the Avengers for Alif Sessions. Our first guest lecturer: @haroon He's built some of the most viral apps of our generation - like Salams and Rocket Money - and has sold companies for 8, 9, and 10 figures. Apply to Alif Sessions today (link below).

@arshanmahmad @WisprFlow agreed but i stopped using wispr flow after using it heavily. recently, for some reason the inaccuracy of speech to text translation increased drastically on their product.

@WisprFlow has an amazing onboarding experience. Must be studied by all products.

I don’t think any restaurant can consistently maintain the taste of a dish. You find a place, order something that blows your mind, return the next weekend with excitement and by the 3rd or 4th visit, it’s a complete disappointment. Never go back. Find a new place. Repeat forever

Those who have 100s of friends often are people doomscrollers.
