Pewdiepie reveals how to break free from the algorithm “A lot of this is going to sound crazy but you’ve gotta hear me out, it’s a step by step process. I’m not saying you should do all of it but you should try some of it” “Step 1 is creating friction. I put all social media and attention hungry apps in a second profile and I can’t understate how much this changed my life. Those 5-6 seconds it takes to switch profiles stops me every time and makes me think, is this what I want to be doing?” “The second thing I did was self hosting. The effect that had on me is I’m not the product anymore. The things I use are mine and because they’re not free, I’m not paying with my privacy. I think the main difference is ads and news don’t reach me” “Next thing I did was disable Shorts, I like YouTube but I hate how Shorts is everywhere I can’t escape it” “Then I unfollowed everyone. You don’t have to do this, this is definitely a me thing, I just got really fed up” “Next, get a DNS blocker. You can remove ads completely, most of it won’t even reach your device” “I think you owe it to yourself to take some time today and start building your tech fence” “These tech companies don’t care about you, so you’ve got to care about yourself. The cheat code is building some friction and filtering out the noise, that’s your defence and your cure”

@kevinxu Networking Like it’s the only thing college is still good for

friend’s kid asked what they should major in college i almost cried what do you even say anymore

@mil0theminer Pretty much the common thought process That’s why we basically made a free plan that just enables you to spend like 10 credits… verify the tool is real And then you basically pay 5 dollars to actually try it out

If you give me a free plan and I run out of credits, I’m not giving you money, I’m making another account for more free credits

$0 content marketing hack I wish I knew earlier: Find 10 keywords your competitors ignore. Write better content for each one. Most founders chase the obvious terms everyone fights over. The real traffic is in the gaps.

@glenn_tunes Who is leaving again?

@Asandry4 @AmericanaMama_ Doubtful If someone is attacking them or their loved ones as they get older, they are righteously allowed to defend themselves It’s called self-defense and basically is a protected right

Take it from the kid that got bullied and used to beat the shit out of the bullies. Your kids are learning during a time when they can be violent that violence is the answer to their problems. But what happens is they become adults and they haven't learned to deal with the problems without hitting people. At that point they start going to jail in prison for doing it. If you spent their entire life telling them that it was okay, then what you've done was set your child up for that failure that they are in jail for. But hey, why not huh. And you know it doesn't have to just be hitting. If I feel like hitting you I can go ahead and hit you. And you would act like the victim. Just because you think you have proper justification for assaulting someone doesn't mean you really do. You're not the one that gets to decide that

Nah fam

@AmericanaMama_ I actually teach my 2 year old that when someone hits you, or bites you or w/e That you should basically beat them into the ground

Shipping fast as a solo dev isn't about perfect code. It's about perfect prioritization. Cursor AI writes my boilerplate. Supabase handles my backend. Vercel deploys on push. I spend 80% of my time on the 20% that actually matters to users.

Most people use Claude/GPT for research and writing. I use them to generate product descriptions, analyze competitor pricing, and A/B test email subject lines. One handles my Shopify SEO optimization. The other writes my customer support responses. That's the difference between chatting and building.

@oldstocky Some cultures are so good that people will abandon their homes, cross harsh conditions with risk of death and not see their loved ones for years Just to be a part of the culture

Not all cultures are equal

@LegendOfWinning It’s interesting that it still exists when people keep saying it only loses money I’m in agreement in asking is real loss or paper loss?

Congratulations to all of the players for standing on business

I’ve heard that some clothing franchises do this as well Like you can get your clothing done in say Southeast Asia and pay a fee to the brand to license it And this is why I basically don’t care at all about any clothing related items I was in Bangkok and went to the knockoff mall The stuff is so good that I don’t believe the average person can tell the difference anymore And maybe there really is not one I bought my wife every bag she always wanted and showed her how much it costs Now I don’t have to buy 6-10k bags any more

None of Philips electronics products are owned or made by Philips Only their medical devices still are They sold literally everything (even their lights division) Now they license the Philips logo to whoever wants it Yes you too can make anything and pay them some money to stick the Philips logo on top of it It all means nothing!

@kaleighf still early, don't have clean data yet — more of a gut feel from watching impressions shift. will post something more concrete when i have it

@ryankramerllc I wanna see an example of what you mean

SoOoOoOo the AEO/GEO strategy stuff you keep hearing about *actually* works for increasing impressions in a very big way

@OmriBuilds been using 8 different tools for product photos. built pixelpanda instead and now it's one upload → ai photos + ugc videos. context switching was killing me so I fixed my problem and hopefully enough other people's as well

Most founders do not need more tools. They need fewer context switches. Every extra app drains focus and slows you down. A strong OpenClaw setup can turns one chat into an AI team of agents. Set it up once, and the dividends from it will start to compound.

@DanKulkov tried ugc videos for our saas. 3x more signups than static screenshots. apps could probably use same approach

my ios apps — last 30 days > more downloads > more sales > more revenue but still tiny numbers i wish there was a tool to post viral videos to grow my apps

@neilpatel works for b2b saas but most ecommerce stores i see waste time on "how to style your living room" instead of "pixelpanda review" or "vs competitors" content that actually converts

Does publishing a lot of blog content still help you get more SEO traffic? We asked content marketers what happens when they publish text-based content on sites that haven't been doing much blogging or SEO. So not just new sites, but sites that never focused on content marketing. In general, publishing content still produces more organic traffic growth.

@shl been running pixelpanda on a $20/mo vps for 18 months. enterprise ai photo tools charge $500/mo for what costs me $0.03/image to generate

You can replace 99.9% of your business spend with a $600 Mac Mini

@matt_gray_ every product demo video we post has one goal: get someone to upload their first product photo. educational seo stuff is for discovery but demos convert at 12x higher

Most founders create content with no clear destination. Every single piece of content should have one primary goal.

@Whats_AI security kills deals faster than bad demos. ecommerce sellers won't touch anything that might leak competitor data or pricing

Most people evaluate AI agents based on the demo. I usually start with the security model, which makes me skip most new tools TBH. But that is also why KiloClaw caught my attention. For context, KiloClaw is a hosted way to use OpenClaw without dealing with the usual self-hosting pain. But honestly, the hosting part is not even what interested me most. It is the fact that they seem to take the security side of agentic products seriously. Once an agent can access your tools, run commands, manage files, and keep memory across sessions, I’m no longer looking at it like "is this cool?" Rather, I directly check for: Where do my keys live? Where do my conversations go? How isolated is my environment? What should I do/not do with it? What happens if something breaks? This is also why I have mostly stuck with proprietary single tools like Claude Code and Cowork. I do not like having my information scattered everywhere. I’d rather choose one company I trust over many I know little about. Still, I’m lacking some definite benefits from the recent OpenClaw hype. So the idea of using broader open agents in a way that feels more secure is genuinely interesting to me. What stood out with KiloClaw is that they seem to have thought seriously about the blast radius, not just the demo. You can see it in the way they handle different data types differently: API keys, transcripts, workspace files, auth data. That is the kind of detail I look for (see table attached). Not because of the acronyms. Because it makes the important part concrete. API keys are not the same as transcripts. Workspace files are not the same as auth tokens. Different data types have different risks, so they should not all be handled the same way. That level of thinking gives me a lot more confidence than the usual vague "enterprise-grade security" line. Most agent products are still selling the magic TBH. Very few spend enough time explaining the blast radius. Or even studying it at all. I partnered with the KiloClaw team on this one because I think more teams building agentic products should be pushed to explain their security model this clearly.
