I really need to remember that virtual presentations suck way more energy out of me than in-person events do, and I really need to not schedule 4-hour long sessions on back to back days. -

No.
To be clear: Not run an ad on a video, run your video as an ad, basically putting paid reach behind it the same way the creator can.
You'll sometimes see companies do this if a creator made a video about their product (sponsored or unsponsored) and they liked it.
This happened to me once, the PR agency I worked with ran my video as an ad without telling me. I'm also suspicious that they might not have told their client, and used it as a way to boost the views on my video to make them look good? -

Context switches are absolutely brutal in identity. The amount of context I need to swap in and out from my brain for different subtopics is staggering.
Oh good it's not just me then -

Quick reminder: When you get an email like this, what they are offering isn't an actual sponsorship. What they are really doing is giving you a $100 sign on bonus to promote the company as an affiliate in your videos. Bypass "integration requirements" by just signing up for the… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1633520568720048128
Whoa, this is a new one I haven't seen before! 🤔 -
It’s the new Pimoronini 7” display, which was well priced too https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/inky-impression-7-3
It’s being driven by a small Python script and believe it or not, a Pi Zero

Got this 7” COLOR e-ink display and it’s so rad, I have so many ideas for how these could be useful around the house 🤓

I suppose it’s possible Musk just sticks with it interminably, burning through his own cash in a desperate attempt to rebuild his credibility? But I doubt it. What do you guys think?

Ah, the illegal fake review scheme that can cause them to lose their store. It would be a shame if they got reported...
lol yeah, the best part is the postcard says "for your safety, don't include this postcard in your photo in your review" -

@aaronpk If it's a gift card that can be used to purchase a product from anyone (not just from the seller asking for the review), then that's different. However, they may have made a $200-300 profit on the $500 sale. Reinvesting part of the profit into reviews for a new-ish listing can create a competitive advantage that can pay off well over the longer term. Even if they break even or have a small loss, it can be an effective "loss leader" strategy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader
Amazon gift cards are basically cash. And yes I'm familiar with the concept of a loss leader -

@aaronpk It sounds like a lot to “pay” (it doesn’t cost them $150) for a review, but the ROI depends on the price of the item being sold. Good reviews are a necessity for a successful listing on Amazon and they will affect sales performance for years. However, the technique is risky for them because it violates Amazon’s ToS and could cause them to lose the ability to sell on that platform.
How does it not cost them $150 to send me a $150 gift card? This is different than the ones that offer to just refund a purchase or send something for free, since that costs them only the cost of the product, not actual cash.
fwiw this was for a $500 purchase
