At Facebook, I coined a term called Filipino Product Market-Fit:
Every year a product manager would observe their new product getting intense adoption in the Phillipines and proclaim their idea was working. Directors would quickly staff the team and alert their VPs of the newfound discovery—only to find out that the pattern was not reproducible in other countries.
The Philipines has one of the highest time-spent online in the world and they will try literally anything for a few days.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The original poster has since confirmed this was made up, possibly as an experiment to see if it would be picked up by news outlets. It was. x.com/nikitabier/sta…

A recent study shows that dancing is one of the best methods to combat depression.
I want to give away 5 lifetime passes of FitXR - so you can dance like no one's watching (because they aren't).
Like this post and I'll DM the winners.
We've been working on this for a while with our friends at @Headspace. We can't wait for people to try this. It's pretty special. @MetaQuestVR

Fresh stats for the #VR debates!
With the #MetaQuest3 launch, @BrinkXR saw a sustained ~4x increase in daily new users overnight.
Christmas day brought a ~10x spike on top of that new baseline, which was much bigger than last Christmas while also having a bigger lead-up.🎄(1/3)
