6. My ideal social media experience is if I had a simple BUILT-IN way to filter posts to be only from users w/ only < X followers or 0-1 likes/replies. Idc ab seeing big accounts. I want a "fat middle" on social networks, something to fight power law effects for a more evenly distributed ecosystem.

Most publications either paywall premium content or chase clicks with shallow takes. We're launching something different at Indie Thinkers: a community-funded model where 100% of subscription revenue is used to pay writers directly for their work.

Someone tipped me off about a sketchy corner of the internet selling dodgy Windows keys via Reddit and Google.
So what did I do? I bought one.
Then I mapped how these sites get their traffic.
So did the Windows key work or not? Read on:

When we save time, we create a vacuum.
The challenge is deciding what to fill it with.
Leverage only matters if you have clarity.
The productivity promise of AI isn't just about efficiency—it's about creating space for what matters. But first, you need to know what matters most.

People love AI Software BECAUSE it's non-deterministic, not in spite of it.
Fuzziness is a Feature.
A lot of these tools feel like slot machines that cost pennies to play and offer an outsized award.
