Apparently having a positive opinion of a product automatically means it's an ad. I wish I'd have known this, I would've asked for payment in return for all these "ads."

(Or maybe I just enjoy making videos about stuff I like instead of being negative about stuff I don't.)

I’m more concerned with how fast a year has gone by.

For those wondering what that webmention thing was about, check out this utterly fantastic blog post that ran through everything so well I didn't need to Google anything! My own version coming soon (because of course it is)

"legacy code is code you wrote when your coffee was warmer"

IndieAuth uses domains, which are globally unique identifiers that demonstrably scale to the web.
WebID is a url with fragment on the end for arbitrary reasons, and a fragile way of connecting certificates

Short version:

The NFT token you bought either points to a URL on the internet, or an IPFS hash. In most circumstances it references an IPFS gateway on the internet run by the startup you bought the NFT from.

Oh, and that URL is not the media. That URL is a JSON metadata file

In short: Right now NFT's are built on an absolute house of cards constructed by the people selling them.

It is likely that _every_ NFT sold so far will be broken within a decade.

Will that make them worthless? Hard to say

You spend a year as PM of facebook voice before quitting and traveling across south east asia for a year.

It's not all bad. you had a hell of a ride, and made some good money.

You vow to only work on enterprise saas for the rest of your career

the end.

It worked in the tech bubble, because the hype cycle drove in so many tech people that you hit critical mass. You can't replicate that magic in every community

The end of the story isn't so much fun. growth slows. users churn. You end up getting acquired for $90M by facebook.

Recording feature ships.

Sadly - it flops.

When creators care more about the recording, they stop inviting in random audience members. The fun of "live" is gone.

Listeners: what's the point of showing up live? why not just listen to the podcast later?

3 - On Clubhouse, if you join a convo 45 minutes late, you missed the best talking points and might be lost.

But with Twitch, the "game stores the context". No matter when I join, I look at the game and I know what the player is doing. So it's "live" but not "urgent".

Those other apps (IG, Tiktok etc.) have millions of pieces of content to choose from. So their algorithms get really really good at finding juicy content for you right away.

But clubhouse is LIVE.

So you need something INTERESTING that's ALSO happening RIGHT NOW.

It keeps going. Logan Paul. Beeple.

Gary V sees that you've created a new place to yell, and immediately starts a room telling 24 year olds if they really want to make money, just move back in with their parents & sell their parents furniture on craigslist.

So... everyone seems to think clubhouse is the "next big thing" - but I think it's going to fail.

Here's how I think it all goes down..
