I think every time AI can do something equally good or better than humans it stops being valuable or special Marketing videos used to take lots of work of editing and motion graphics and a big budget Now with Opus 5.5 etc it costs $0 to make one as good or better That means ANYONE can make a marketing video now, so the timeline gets flooded with these videos (as you see happening now) and people stop caring about them, stop watching them and they stop grabbing attention The response then to still grab attention is be different and that probably means IRL marketing videos that are original and unique and maybe personal It's the grim reaper meme where AI keeps commoditizing another media format and bringing the cost down to close to $0 It already did so for graphic design (2023), last year with Nano Banana for photography (2025), this year with Seedance 2.5 it did it for video (2026) and this and next year motion graphics

this is my reaction after paying $295 for backlinks and then realized Grok Bot did the same thing the freelancer did at 1/100 of the price all this while I slept (and it's still working now) here's the story: I paid $295 to a random Fiverr dude for backlinks then built an AI agent that did it for 1/100 of the price (using Grok Bot) AND that keeps doing it while I sleep (24 hours a day non-stop) Over the last few days it has: - Found relevant backlink opportunities - Created accounts - Verified emails - Submitted my business - Checked whether the links went live - Reported everything back to Slack It’s already built links from DR20, DR40 and DR76 domains. Is every link amazing? no, that’s not really the point the interesting part is that a task I used to pay someone hundreds of dollars to do can now be handed to an agent that never sleeps and I think this is where people are underestimating AI.. everyone is still using AI to answer questions, I’m increasingly using it to do work the real opportunity isn't "write me a blog post" it's "here's exactly how I perform this task, here's my SOPs, here's the tools you need, go do it and don't stop" I made a video on the EXACT process - check the first comment below

Jesus christ

constant innovation is the ONLY moat for product AND marketing for marketing: nothing works forever, every channel has a window early on it's cheap and nobody's competing for attention, then it works, everyone shows up, and the window closes Google ads were 5 cents a click in 2000, that edge is gone, you either find the next channel or you pay 10x for the last one for product: every feature you ship gets copied, and it's faster than ever now, a competitor can rebuild your best feature in a weekend with AI so the moat was never the feature, the moat is how fast you ship the next one by the time they've copied what you did month, you should already be somewhere else customers don't stay for what you built, they stay for what you keep building, the moment you stop, the gap closes in months so you're ALWAYS innovating is it exhausting? yes, but so is being poor the "chill business" that makes money forever without you doing new, hard things doesn't exist if that's what you want, go get a job

bruh what do you mean "unavailable"

Doing "tiny SaaS" and Mobile apps rn is like trying to do Print on Demand / Dropshipping in 2019 The barrier to entry have been destroyed, anyone with 2 neurons can pickup Codex to do the same now The indie hacker playbook doesn't works anymore, you can't just solve one tiny problem, build in public and do SEO and hope it will be a business IMO. It worked in 2013-2023 but not anymore If something is as easy as vibe coding something in a few hours, chances are your customers probably already do it And shitting 30 AI-generated blog posts isn't distribution, it will just be an extra turd swimming in the sea of slop that already exists out there I also see lots of ppl who think "building an audience" is a moat etc. So, yes but clowning on X is not building an audience, unless you plan on doing it full time and monetizing it via sponsors like what we've saw recently. But then it's a totally different business AND is just as hard because everyone want to do exactly the same and be famous, so you need to post INTERESTING STUFF 5-10x day if you want to have a chance So you can't just make the same kind of content, videos etc as everyone else is doing rn, you need to find interesting and unique stuff, which is hard. By definition business is hard. Don't trust ppl who say it's easy and fast. People pay you to solve problem they can't solve. If something suddenly becomes easy, it's means it's also easy for everyone else = it's less valuable There is no secret roadmap, there is no money glitch, it's supposed to be hard and sometimes sucks. Customers don't pay you to have fun and enjoying life traveling in Asia, they pay u to get their problem solved better, faster or cheaper. But by all mean if you enjoy doing tiny mobile apps, building in public and posting silly pics on X, have fun! But it's not a business, it's a hobby IMO the best thing to do rn is to go out of the bubble and talk with people, to find problems worth solving. Especially in old/boring industries. Cause lots of ppl won't do it simply cause it's not sexy or interesting and won't make lots of views on social media, which is good, it means less noise! IMO you don't need to know the industry perfectly as long as you're curious AND talk with users on calls etc. to get feedback Just my opinion tho
