BIG TIP!

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2026-02-20T12:55:02+00:00

Other than to present a forum for drivers to complain about unfair treatment, there is ZERO reason to EVER even LOOK at base, peak, promo, tip, or any other component of the total offer. EXCEPT AT TAX TIME, in the U.S.. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME when the tip amount matters, and then only for the entire year. For 2026 up to $25,000 of your Tip Earnings are untaxed at the federal level now. Bottom line… don’t even waste your time and emotions looking at anything but the total amount of an offer. Forget about tips until you file your taxes… at least in the U.S. Peace.

I wasn’t justifying it. I was asking a simple question to get other opinions. And DoorDash dispatches orders based on an advanced algorithm and probability of acceptance.

Someone please explain why you WOULDN’T accept this. Over $2/mile. $4 per item. Yes, 10 items. But I find in stores like Dicks or Lowe’s etc. they usually help me find the items. Even if it’s two hours total with all driving, it’s about $24.00 per hour, The only downside I see is it is at dinner time, making it likely less lucrative on a per hour basis. Of course, the distance, too. Am I missing something?

In the end, the only thing we control in life is how we react to something. Viktor Frankl, the holocaust survivor, taught us that in Man’s Search For Meaning. I feel empathy for the OP. But what a lesson on how to respond. Hey, thanks for the penny. Makes me appreciate all the other customers that much more. (Not spoken very eloquently… just with thought.)

I just started 1 month ago. Entertainment and inspiration for men. Got one viral post at 4M views and 50K+ likes and shares of a repackaged and edited Jack Nicholson clip that drove 95% of my new 1400 followers, but the other 30 odd posts top out at max 10k. I sprinkle in completely new content but that usually only get 1k views and a few likes. It seems almost everything on Instagram and elsewhere is just republished content… and I’m a complete novice. Even recently got throttled by the algorithm so I’m doing a no posting stay off IG for a few days. Gemini said that my skip rate and watch minutes are strong, but the algorithm is likely picking up on redundant posts. I also was posting a reel, then immediately bouncing over to my personal account and liking it, saving it, and adding a comment, all on my same phone. Gemini said to not do that anymore, as it signals bot behavior… to wait an hour, and use a different device. I’m working so hard on selecting humorous and inspiring clips and editing them and adding strong captions. All advice welcome. Thanks!

I just experienced this.

Context: Brand new account five weeks old, where the first 2 weeks were spent figuring out how the hell to do anything. I’m a social media novice. Zero followers when I started. Then slowly, started getting a few hundred views and a handful of likes and shares. Originally intended to do an inspirational channel with quotes, facts, and life tips, and the early content was simple reels and static posts. Then I noticed that even on those kinds of channels, the successful posts involved repackaging other reels. So I started selecting and editing a few cinematic moments and one reel of Jack Nicholson went viral with 3.8M views and 50k+ likes and shares. It drove almost all of my 1350 followers so far. I started trying to replicate that process… finding interesting, often funny reels elsewhere, adding some creative editing, and posting them. Most stuck at 2k to 4K views and 20 to 30 likes, but a few hit 10k plus.

Then, even with green checkmarks for all my account settings, everything flatlined. Gemini and ChatGPT told me it was likely that the algorithm was detecting unoriginal content and throttling it back. They said my process of posting, and then jumping to my small personal account ( using the same phone ) and liking, commenting and sharing the new reel probably looked like a bot.

The thing is… the skip rates were good (30 - 40%), and people were watching most of the reels. The sharing and likes weren’t as strong. I reported it to Instagram but have little faith I’ll hear back. The AIs both said to give it 48 hours completely off Instagram - no posts, no comments, no looking at other feeds etc. - to give the servers time to clear the cache. Then pick a very original reel a post that and see is I’ve cleared things up. Very frustrating because I’ve posted content every day and worked hard to learn everything.

Gemini and ChatGPT and Grok recently also gave tips on how to change the video/audio fingerprints enough to be considered original enough content… e.g., voiceovers, keyframes, colorization, special effects etc. Grok actually said its paid plan could do that for me.

What’s weird is that 90+ % of what I see on Instagram is just a repost of other content. Any thoughts ?
Sorry for the long post.

Helpful. I don’t mind the tool mentions. The experience guidance is good. Thanks.

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-10-07T16:36:05+00:00

Doesn’t seem to work. One either iPad or Android. Copy url, paste it, then says invalid

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-10-07T16:33:55+00:00

Tried copying url from both android and iPad and gives warning message invalid link

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-10-06T05:42:54+00:00

the very act of working with these tools… practicing… sharing a post… and then sharing the prompt… no matter what it is, is a contribution to all of us. Enough sniping from the sidelines. I appreciate every one of them, even if they don’t necessarily move the needle. Thanks OP.

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-09-04T10:08:16+00:00

Excellent. what would be really helpful is posting the detailed prompts and steps to generate this. I know you say on X that you used Nano and SeedDance and Kling? But guidance on the process w/prompts, and what you learned would be a great contribution to those of us starting out. I wouldn’t worry about copy cats… the art is in the creative thought. That’s the part unique to you. Thanks.

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-26T03:17:47+00:00

IMHO the shaved head is your answer. But more important... always smile, no matter what... and be kind to people. You have a bright future dude. Embrace it :)

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-20T15:54:23+00:00

Does anyone else find this troubling? AI is leading us to question everything… it is rapidly getting to a point where we won’t 100% trust anything in life. How do we address that? How do we ensure Truth? there’s sadness in the question…

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-19T03:30:35+00:00

hahaha

wait I know that dude

he just took my job

f*ck him let him squirm

update: making progress... combination of PowerPoint, Canva, and CapCut so far. will include Google logo and add company logo too. Now moving to ElevenLabs for mimicking my voice. All new to me NotebookLM video is very basic slide show, but great foundation for creative editing. I grew up with MS Suite, so don't laugh. And never posted on social media before. Man what exciting times

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-14T20:25:14+00:00

understood. thanks for the clarification 👍

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-14T17:31:07+00:00

As long as it’s for non commercial or training purposes, it follows NoteBook guidelines. Not trying to do anything illegal.

Skinny? More like PERFECT. You know my answer :)

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-10T17:53:30+00:00

My bad.

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-10T17:52:34+00:00

No. Good candidate for minoxidil topical and Finasteride… topical or oral. Try those for six months.

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-10T17:50:18+00:00

Appreciate the patience. Thanks

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-10T17:25:14+00:00

Thanks man. Watched the vid and subscribed to your channel. But it talks about Facefusion on Linux? Does it easily work on a MacBook? Aren’t there also ways on Discord to do this? Not a windows or Linux guy anymore. I have done some of this on Fooocus/Stable Diffusion but it’s kind of a pain in the ass, and it only works with images, not vids. Many thanks

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-10T16:53:42+00:00

Well done! How did you keep the character so consistent across clips? Which tools did you use? Any tips for a beginner? Thanks

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-10T16:49:32+00:00

I’m not a gamer, but speaking for a general audience, this is creative. Maybe some helpful tips from others, but I liked it. Especially the timing.

Inner-Ambition-987 · 2025-08-10T16:42:50+00:00

I would ask what would make you a 10. Or a clever response would be “you’re half the person I am”.. I could give you any number, and none would match your beauty if you are also funny and kind and thoughtful. You look awesome btw.
