I used to laugh at the "em dash = AI" meme...

Why pay for search?

Because Google bombards you with ads & irrelevant results.

@kagi.com ($10/mo):

No ads.
No tracking.
Block annoying sites like Pinterest.
Create custom "lenses" to see only results you trust.

Simple trade: you pay $10, Kagi gives you the internet you actually want.

Something unusual is happening - during a risk-off period, the US dollar is weakening while the Euro strengthens.

Last time this happened was March 2020, as SaaS companies saw deal slowdowns and contract cancellations.

It proved SaaS isn’t immune to economic turmoil - it’s deeply connected!

Found a wild SEO scheme: Company buying respected tech sites, firing staff & turning them into gambling sites.

They own 200+ domains and rank #1 for impossible keywords.

Best part? They documented it all in public filings 😅

And I found their whole network through a single JS file...

Google is losing its grip.

In the UK, Google’s usage dropped from 86% to 83% in one year - that’s 1.8 million fewer users per month! 🤯

Why?

Because people are trying new things. Reddit is booming, and young people are searching on TikTok and ChatGPT.

While everyone panics about Google's "parasite SEO" crackdown...

The Guardian's quietly crushing it:

✓ Hired real journalists
✓ In-house expertise
✓ Proper editorial standards

The secret?

They treated affiliate like actual journalism, not an SEO play.

The money follows quality.

I tried X (Twitter) the other week. Big mistake. Here's what I saw:

- Endless fights
- Angry people

Marketing pros are running away from X faster than I run from spicy food. (And I hate spicy food)

Where are they going?

→ LinkedIn: For business stuff
→ Bluesky: For real talks
