Social media time should be 50/50:

→ 50% scouting profound ideas worth bookmarking
→ 50% revisiting those bookmarks to go deeper

If you never revisit, the algo is winning at DDOSing your 🧠

Spot on take by @redphone, but I’d go one step further but splitting it into:

33.34% scouting ideas worth bookmarking 🔖

33.34% revisiting those bookmarks to go deeper 🤔

33.34% writing or creating something from the ideas that resonated the most from what you’ve learned 📝

Leaving you with 0.2% left over, which you should use to treat yourself to something nice 🤌

But going back to the topic of building companies that are going into markets that are relatively slow moving and hard to technically replicate. This obviously sounds very appealing because if your first then you can win pretty well.

The hard part about this is usually there’s a reason why it’s technically really hard and the market moves really slow even though the TAM is usually really high, it’s because these markets usually take enormous amounts of capital expenditure upfront in order to set up the infrastructure required to be able to build products that serve this market.

That’s why not a lot of folks are there

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat. Now, I don't cheat. And although I like to think we have some pretty smart people in this building, it sure is a hell of a lot easier to just be first."- John Tuld

Blink-182 is classified as 'Oldies' now. I've had a good run... time to turn into dust.

We had a great relationship and I wish him well — very well, actually.

Apple

Apple didn’t take the YouTube play button into account

Want to scream into a void of frustration? Buy a Unifi product. 
Hands down the worst networking experience out there. 

-No streamlined way to connect a device and a minimum of 3 apps to run it. 
-Perfect example of engineers building a device without any consideration for UX

You appreciate Apple & Google that much more when you realize how much effort they put into making the setup experience practically seamless. /lessoninthere

If you want that $200M Marvel movie to exist, it has to monopolize screens, attention, and distribution networks. It’s not enough for it to break even. It needs to crush. And so, for you to enjoy it, 50 other weird, subtle, personal, maybe even beautiful projects need to vanish. There’s no room. The bandwidth’s gone. The theater chain dropped the indie to run Guardians of the Galaxy 9 on six screens. The game store won’t stock the narrative-driven $15 game because Fortnite and EA already ate the oxygen.

You can’t just “like both.” The ecosystem doesn’t work that way anymore. And that’s the quiet violence built into these entertainment economies: Your consumption requires the nonexistence of other people’s work.

Interesting take, but there's another side that Bravo is missing here. As someone who's worked in the industry, those $200M Marvel movies essentially fertilize everything else the studio produces. While those films may be their main bet, they also need to cover the themselves with a bunch of smaller budget films to address various audiences that make up the movie going public. This way they don't miss out on films that organically usurp manufactured blockbusters. Dark horses will always emerge in an-otherwise saturated marketplace. Thats what keeps it interesting, and why those weird, subtle, personal films that usually come out during the spring and awards season keep things from being too lopsided.
