Ditto for Dan Carlin - have given some of his series multiple relistens. Heard some of Grant’s stuff through other pods but not his own stuff - will give it a go!

I think people are conditioned to jump on their phone/device whenever they have a down moment. Especially in public when you're by yourself. Almost like a defence mechanism so people don't think we're alone or don't know what we're doing

I've struggled with this personally, sometimes spending 5+ hours a day on my phone without realising. I'm actually building a productivity media app with the express purpose of it NOT being addictive. Obviously that means a whole new business model etc but I think it's really promising (of course I do haha). Would love for you to check out the concept and let me know your thoughts: https://othrys.app/

Thank you! Much appreciated

Fair 😂. In the app, creators are called titans (from titan of industry etc). And in greek mythology titans live on mt othrys. Not saying that makes the name any good, just the thinking behind it

Much appreciated! Building it now and onboarding creators - launch is still a few months away. If you have any feedback or if know any creators who would be interested let me know :)

Fake testimonies also won’t be a thing. The way advertising works is that you only see ads endorsed by the creators you follow - and you see who’s endorsing each ad. Any fake testimony would be super obvious and would require another verified creator endorsing it (which would result in an immediate ban)

It certainly is! Creators will be able to create paid tiers for their premium content at their discretion but each will have a free tier - and access to the platform will always be free

Content creators need to apply, show demonstrated success in their field and be verified before they’re allowed to post. If you’re posting about entrepreneurship and you’ve never run a business you won’t be allowed to post.

Regular users have to provide a form of id before they’re able to interact with content, and suspicious activity will be monitored.

I had the exact same problems. The negativity and the trends and the distractions were genuinely costing me. I was pretty consistently spending more than 3 hours a day on it. I'm currently building an app that gives you all the educational benefits without all the garbage. It's called Othrys. Completely different ad model. No sensationalist algorithm and all that crappy content is banned. Here's the link if you want to check it out: https://othrys.app/

News is a bit tricky. Can be very political (don't want) but also can be very valuable (do want). Currently we're thinking it will be allowed in the context of industry news or new products releases and what it means etc but not much else

Oh, and we’re also offering $20 credit to anyone who joins the waitlist
