I got 2B views a month running a youtube channel a few years ago It was the 2nd fastest growing channel on YT at the time One thing I’ve noticed nowadays is there’s such a lack of good video content on X Massive arbitrage opportunity here for those with an eye for video

Paul You peaked at Engagement Manager at McKinsey In 2015 During the easiest economic conditions in a century Your other credential is Operations Manager at Amazon 40,000 people hold that title simultaneously That is your resume That is what you are standing on when you tell strangers how to conduct themselves professionally You have publicly discussed failing with matchmaking services You have posted multiple times about entitled women You pay for a service designed to produce dates and it produces nothing and you blame the product The man who cannot generate interest through a system engineered to generate interest is giving unsolicited professional advice to strangers at midnight You look like you moderate 4 Discord servers You post like someone whose opinions have never been requested in a room with a door You carry the energy of a man who corners people at conferences and doesn't notice them looking for the exit Then you posted a 7-tweet thread about social media killing $300K job offers You used your own social media to publicly police a stranger's selfie And then lectured the internet about how employers judge social media You are the red flag in your own thread I scrolled through the profile you decided to correct It is mostly pictures/selfies of her running Running consistently Which if your McKinsey brain could still produce a thought without a 2x2 matrix you would recognise as a signal of discipline, accountability, and someone who can commit to something long term That is literally the trait you claim to value in your thread about professional credibility And you looked at it and saw a selfie problem Because your pattern recognition is so broken by whatever is happening in your personal life that you cannot process a woman being visible without experiencing it as something that needs to be corrected You absolute fucking moron The information was right there You had the data You drew the wrong conclusion That is not a social media literacy issue That is a you issue And it explains the matchmaking results better than anything I could write If I was hiring and saw a candidate doing what you did I would pull the offer before the background check finished Zero social calibration Zero awareness of how unsolicited corrections land HR incident within 90 days "Could care less if you listen" It is "couldn't care less" "Could care less" means you care Based on 4 follow-up replies to someone who was clearly not interested you care significantly About a stranger's selfie At midnight "Genuine feedback from a place of kindness" Every person who cannot mind their own business uses this sentence It is not kindness It is the compulsion to correct people who did not ask by someone whose authority to correct is visible to nobody except himself The Halo Effect is one of the most documented cognitive biases in existence Decades of research Every industry Presentation affects perception You know this You resent it And you process that resentment by lecturing strangers instead of fixing yourself Paul You are a loser I say this because the pattern is specific A man who is unhappy Who cannot generate the respect he believes he deserves Who processes that by diminishing strangers who did nothing to him It has never worked It will never work You are the common variable in every failed interaction you have described on this platform And maybe if you stopped spending your evenings correcting strangers on the internet and started being a genuinely decent person things would change Not because you learned a technique Because you became someone people don't instinctively avoid That is the only thing that has ever worked It is free It requires becoming less of what you currently are You are not going to do this You are going to read this and feel attacked and post something about how "the haters prove the message resonated" and learn absolutely nothing Because that is what you do That is all you do NGMI Everyone can see it Paul Except you I scrolled through the person's profile you decided to correct Most of the pictures are running content That is someone who gets up and runs That is discipline That is accountability to yourself That is the exact quality you claim to value in your shitty thread about high-performance careers A person who runs consistently and posts about it is demonstrating the same trait you lecture people about from your McKinsey Engagement Manager pedestal. but your ex-consulting brain can't produce that thought without a 2x2 matrix and a hypothesis-driven framework to arrive at a conclusion that a normal human being sees in 3 seconds you are genuinely never going to make it, to the place where you think your heading and speaking of things you produced that nobody asked for "I wrote the book nobody in a corner office wants you to read" "Reviewed by 7 consulting partners and PE MDs who refused to be named" Refused to be named 7 people reviewed your book and not a single one of them was willing to have their name associated with it publicly You framed this as mystique This is not mystique This is 7 people who read your book and said "sure Paul it's fine but please do not tell anyone I was involved" that is a restraining order from your own endorsers "Every email you send is a power move. Most people just don't know the rules" You are writing about email power moves In 2026 A man who peaked at middle management 12 years ago wrote a book about email strategy and got 7 anonymous reviews from people who are embarrassed to know him and then went on the internet to tell a stranger that their selfie is unprofessional This is the most complete portrait of a man who has absolutely nothing going on that I have ever assembled and I did not have to try hard because you provided all the materials yourself You are a clown Paul An actual clown With a book nobody will read Reviews nobody will claim Opinions nobody requested And a matchmaking profile that produces the same results as your career advice: nothing, for anyone, ever Everyone can see it Except you

Paul - I’m an investor in Brooke’s company. Let me tell you a little bit about Brooke. She’s relentlessly resourceful and she can get incredible things done without needing a lot of money or support. For instance, she hosted me and a large group of our investors for a huge event, very little notice, and it went off perfectly with every detail taken care of. She doesn’t need direction either because she’s intrinsically self-motivated and accomplishment oriented. When I’ve seen her interact with the larger Corgi ecosystem, she brings people together in ways that make the whole much more powerful than the sum of its parts. When I talk about Corgi, and I often talk about their culture of working incredibly hard and that their people love it, she’s a perfect example of someone who sets that very standard for the company. I hope Corgi holds onto her for a long time, but if she ever chooses to leave to start her own company, I definitely would invest. I don’t love it when people give criticism in public. But given that this will turn a spotlight on Brooke - I thought this was a good chance for the social media record to be set straight. I also hope more employees and founders share a bit of themselves alongside the job that they do in their social media because marketing matters and people like being customers of Corgi because it’s a company that has people like Brooke at it. I hope more people follow Brooke’s lead. Especially on good hair days.

Young people massively underestimate how their public social media can kill high-paying job offers I have personally seen 5 offer letters pulled in NY over social media content. All were 300k plus total comp roles. Real cases If you are aiming for 85k forever, you are probably fine If you want bigger things, read this

Wow, another Ai tool that does the same sh*t the one yesterday does. Disappointing to see people I follow and know take a paycheck for this stuff. I only have 7.6k followers and I get asked for quotes to participate in launches like this. It’s all trash. Worse than web3?

@sistilli Adding "reddit" on the end of your search usually gets you to the human written part of the Internet. Even if it is redditors

After having a baby i’ve realized how much AI content has really changed Google for the worse. I only use Google if i want authentic human written information, and all the top 10 websites with baby information is just plastered with low effort AI slop GEO/SEO farming sites. If I wanted info from an AI i would have just asked one.

@sistilli First, you are a father!? Second, yes, google is really bad right now. At this point I end up going directly to reddit for human written content.
