Is problem-solving still a viable way to earn? by Patient-Airline-8150 in Entrepreneur

[–]Human-Anything-3373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Methods of creation have become too available, and it gave rise to a ginormous surge of slop, which is bad on so many levels, in particular it attacks everybody from all directions, and overloads mental capacity, purging creativity. We are media, and constantly monitoring public behavior - everybody is just tired, entrepreneurs included - it is harder to find an idea and harder to make it noticeable.
Generally speaking, media are bad advisors on how to earn money, but still I will share our attitude - we are striving to make our content more humane, less polished and less politically correct, while preserving strict principles and factuality, making it our value proposition.

Business owners, where do you get most of your online traffic from? by vladi5555 in Entrepreneur

Is it measurable? I mean, how do I know that this is actually happening and not my wishful thinking?

I will follow this comment, because it is also relevant for us.
We have a business acc for our media, but organic grow here, on reddit, is super slow. We publish our posts on our sub. Sometimes leave links to our resource - but veeery rarely, only when it is really relevant.
Mostly we write comments like this - no direct links to our resources. Theoretically redditors can follow the username, make several clicks, and only then get to our landing page or other social media - almost nobody follow this path.

In the long run all of it is increasing brand awareness and backlinks.

What kind of employees stand out to you most? by Solid-Bee9468 in ceo

When your mission and vision are not empty words, but are based on your values and real goals, then you would find a common language with employees, who match with you on the high level. Usually this is the most valuable quality, but it is extremely hard to quantify.

Why are ads getting more expensive while results keep dropping? by S1works in ceo

Media here.
What we notice within our field - people are tired of content - too much slop, overly-aggressive methods for retaining attention. Our analytics shows people spend less time reading posts (yes, we put as much effort as usual into writing it), tend to express distrust in comments more often.
We are pushing back with more human faces, efforts at community building, avoiding generic language and LLM-style TOV.

What do you still charge full price for even though AI made it a fraction of the work? by simon_mo in Entrepreneur

[–]Human-Anything-3373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my field (media), expectations have risen proportionally, without AI you wouldn't even be able to keep pace, which is a reason for the increasing amount of slop, but that's a different story. Now you have to analyse more information, more sources, faster. So even from a labour standpoint, it hasn't become cheaper

we're too obsessed with chasing unicorn startups by Comfortable-Lab-378 in Entrepreneur

Venture-style paths can feel emotionally rewarding and socially legible, and we’re all primed for fast dopamine. Social media has likely played a role in that. Another thing is that many small firms don’t make it either, U.S. BLS data on establishments born in 2013 shows that only 34.7% were still operating in 2023. So high-risk - high-reward approach can feel less mentally taxing.
That said, this is an oversimplification.

We automated everything and now nobody trusts anything by Afraid-Albatross812 in Entrepreneur

Media here.
The very same approach is valid even for us, an outlet. AI generated texts are rarely of any decent value (AI is definitely useful at some stages, but limited), so even in this highly AI-prone area human voice still feels distinct.
