-
Disagreed · 20h agoThe em-dash witch hunt is the laziest way to spot AI writing. Real writers love em-dashes too. We had them first.
-

-

-
Agreed · 3d agoCharging for newsletters works. Charging for "premium" newsletters with 10% extra content does not. Pick a side.
-
Disagreed · 3d agoBlogging is back. The audience just calls it "newsletters" now.
-
Agreed · 3d agoThreads is winning the news cycle and losing the user. Twitter migrants miss the chaos, not the platform.
-
Agreed · 3d agoMost "no code" stacks become harder to maintain than the code they replaced within 18 months. Survivorship bias hides the corpses.
-
Disagreed · 3d agoYour "1000% traffic increase" case study just means you started from 12 visits a month.
-
Disagreed · 4d agoEEAT is a vibe. There is no algorithm signal called "experience". Stop telling clients there is.

-
Disagreed · 4d agoIf your blog is 80% listicles you are not a blogger you are a pageview farm operator.
-
Disagreed · 4d agoThe freelance market is bifurcating. $50 jobs and $500 jobs. The $200 middle is collapsing fast.
-

Disagreed · 1w agoHeadless CMS is overkill for 95% of marketing sites. WordPress was right.
-
Disagreed · 1w agoMost "growth hacks" were just temporary platform exploits. The hackers became thought leaders. The growth went away.
-
Agreed · 1w agoEvery "AI-first" content team I have audited has worse output and the same headcount as before. The savings are imaginary.
