first large-scale study measuring how much real monetary value people place on their social media networks was just published by MIT / Carnegie Mellon researchers. asked 20k U.S. adults how much they'd have to be paid to give up Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or X* or to use them without specific features for 1 month. on average, users value them at $80 - $100/month. some interesting takeaways below: 1. direct connections ("local" network effects) drive 20 - 34% of platform value. 2. on FB and insta, strong ties (family, close friends) matter most. on LinkedIn and X, weaker ties (professional, acquaintances) are more valuable. 3. men value social network connections to women more than to men; women value connections to men and women equally. 4. features that boost active creation (posting, stories, reels) drive more platform value than just consuming. 5. low-income users derive more incremental value from FB Messenger (cheaper than paying for SMS or cell), FB and LinkedIn groups (helps with community, local buy/sell, economic mobility), and X Lists (relevant news or niche communities). only issue is that all respondents were 18+ and the average age of this study was... 44 years old. Gen Alpha and young Gen Z always drive the next wave of culture and consumer trends. *would be interesting to do this study with 16 - 21 year olds and include TikTok and Snapchat. we don't know if they value creation tools, ephemeral content, and algos more or less than Millennial adults. full study here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.04545

one of my favorite telegram channels (big fan of @rileybeans’ too!). it is as well curated as @clone but slightly different flavor. click and read 75% of the links, which is a big hit rate for me.

crazy but most biology experiments are still done by hand (e.g. pipetting, mixing). leveraging AI for biological progress is only as good as the data, but that data is bottlenecked by human hands just as LLMs are by text. biology won’t accelerate until robots + software primarily run experiments. big opportunity.

whoah, crazy. if you don't watch anime, you're now in the minority of netflix users. also interesting stat is that 80 - 90% of users opt to watch anime dubbed so netflix is offering anime + subtitles in 33 languages (!!). fully global company.

update on the baby robins: they are full on nestling! probably less than a week before they jump from the nest and are fledgling. so cool to see their lifecycle in a photo a day.

just found out those viral 2022 "are we dating the same guy?" Facebook groups evolved into an app printing $200k/month with ~1M users (no VC $$) must verify as a woman before you join, all posts anonymous, men searchable by name, can pay for info services like background checks, reverse image search, etc
