Oxytocin in your body doesn't care about your online friends. Sit with strangers, go to cafes. Let your brain touch reality again.

Great SEO and running an illegal site on India gov 🇮🇳 website!! Three thing you must know about psafebet6: 1. Someone has not only hosted a personal site on indian gov servers, its a betting / rumy site — which is already illegal. 2. Been about a whole day since this had been going viral on twitter, but nobody has taken it down. Maybe gov engineers are reading about DNS yet. 3. It’s not just hosted on one gov’s site but rather across many department and state gov domains!
India's digital sec is a joke Someone hosts FitGirl pirate repacks on govt servers while leaking 81 crore people's records.

Thats why @8_club_ IRL is cooking ! The demand side pull with mvp can be explained by nothing but digital fatigue.Online-offline insta is the new paradigm of social interactions for genZ/genalpha. @nikhilkamathcio @elonmusk thanks for confirming.

Why do some people use social media even though they feel trapped? Pseudo-connection feels better than acknowledged isolation.

Why isn't youtube coming up with a Friends system? People watch the OG gang hanging out, and looking at random memes. I won't mind looking at a random youtube video with friends, and discuss that.

What is life? • Dostoevsky: It’s hell. • Socrates: It’s a test. • Aristotle: It’s the mind. • Nietzsche: It’s power. • Freud: It’s death. • Marx: It’s the idea. • Picasso: It’s art. • Gandhi: It’s love. • Schopenhauer: It’s suffering. • Bertrand Russell: It’s competition. • Steve Jobs: It’s faith. • Einstein: It’s knowledge. • Stephen Hawking: It’s hope. • Kafka: It’s just the beginning. Each one must therefore give life a meaning according to how you one perceive.

Everyone says that ‘third time is the charm.’ And I never believed it until we experienced it ourselves. Let me explain what happened: About last year, we made the 8club app based on what we thought was our GTM then. But as the product development cycle ended, we had already changed our GTM. So, we had to discard it and start from the clean slate. But we got fooled twice: Made an app based on our presumed GTM; Of course it changed, and our product went to bin again ;) Imagine months of your hard work ending up in recycle bin with no use. Finally, we learned a valuable lesson (we had to): ‘Never build a product entirely based on your GTM.’ Because GTMs are strategies, and strategies change. That’s why your product should be independent of it and solely based on the problem you’re trying to solve. So, even if your GTM changes, your product will be based on your core fundamentals.

Looking for a marketing lead at 8club. Send your CVs at [email protected]
We're hiring a Marketing lead at 8club! A year ago, 8club was just a concept. I remember us distributing pamphlets on hot Delhi streets, but no one paid us any attention. So we got a little creative. We talked to 50 cab drivers at Delhi Airport and convinced them to place QR codes on their seats, and they’d get Rs. 10 for every scan. We couldn’t track where the scans were coming from! (we did reward our drivers.) And by the end of the day, we had over 100 sign-ups. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked. Fast forward to today; we've got over 80,000 people on our waitlist—just in Bangalore! And now, we’re ready for the next phase. Up until now, we were solely focused on building offline distribution (which is the hardest thing). So, we need YOU to carry on the momentum and also open up online marketing avenues for 8club. Here’s what we’re looking for in our Marketing lead: - You understand psychology, customer behaviour and how offline spaces work. - You breathe creativity and can come up with hacky ideas(like us) with a strong bias for action - You can build data-led actionable decision making frameworks - You know how to build a marketing AOP and can manage a marketing P&L to drive measurable growth outcomes - You understand Instagram, X and Linkedin inside out - You thrive in liberty to experiment, create, and build in ways that defy the norm—just like we did—but even better. We offer a competitive salary and the chance to be part of something truly game-changing. If you’re ready to innovate, work with a rapidly growing startup, and lead our marketing efforts, we’d love to hear from you! Send your CVs at [email protected] Ps. Surprise me!

One of our biggest lessons while building the 8club app: NEVER ATTACH YOURSELF TO YOUR PRODUCT. Here’s why: When time goes by while building something, a lot of things change. New notes are added to the building process; new changes are to be made. But if you’re in love with your product, you won’t be able to see it objectively. It’s flaws, downsides, and required changes would be invisible to you. Just like crushing over someone so much that you can’t see what a red flag they are ;) So, instead, attach yourself to the building process. Love 'creating,' not 'what' you create. Or as we were told when we were kids, ‘Love the journey, not the destination.’—such a cliche, right? But, now I understand the real meaning behind it. After all, cliches are cliches for a reason :D
