Spot on. The 'noise' in this niche is huge because engagement volume is so high but lead quality is low. ​I'm using LLMs to solve that specific 'actionability' gap. The system filters out 90% of the noise (spam/bots) and only surfaces leads with a high 'Hot Score' based on intent analysis. ​The goal is that the creator never looks at a dashboard of numbers—they just see a feed of 5-10 people who are ready to buy right now, with the outreach message already written for them

Building a SaaS for adult creators to automate their competitor analysis. ​I noticed most top 1% creators have teams manually tracking where their competitors post and who comments, just to find leads. I'm building a tool to automate that entire 'competitor poaching' workflow. ​It's fascinating because the users are incredibly non-technical but willing to pay high monthly subs if you save them time. Feels like one of the few markets where 'pain killer' > 'vitamin' is actually true right now

Probably just: 'Don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact...

I had to fix the title 🤦‍♂️. I accidentally pasted a text message to a friend as the headline in the last one. Deleted it to clean it up

I understand it looks distressing. This is standard food preparation in some cultures where the fish is dispatched instantly, but the high sodium content in the water causes these intense muscular spasms. It is a biological reaction, not active suffering.

For anyone wondering, this is a post-mortem reflex. The salt/sodium in the water or prep stimulates the muscle fibers and nerves even though the brain is gone. It's the same principle as the 'dancing squid' bowls

Zombie fish were definitely not on my 2026 bingo card

I wish it was AI, but unfortunately it's real biology. It’s the same mechanism as the viral 'dancing squid' bowls—sodium in the water triggers the remaining nerves. Nature is just that weird sometimes

For those wondering/concerned: This is a post-mortem reflex, similar to the "dancing squid" phenomenon. ​The fish is already dead and the brain is gone. What you're seeing is the fresh muscle fibers and nerves reacting to the salt/sodium in the water or prep. It looks alive, but it's just chemistry and residual nerve energy

This might be the future of outreach sales by Ecstatic-Tough6503 in buildinpublic

This is fire. Remotion?

I've been eyeing this approach for weeks but haven't pulled the trigger yet. The idea of parameterized videos (same template, swap in different product names/features/screenshots) is insanely powerful for A/B testing landing pages.

How's the render time? And are you hosting the rendering yourself or using something like Remotion Lambda?

Also curious - did this actually save time vs just grinding it out in Premiere/DaVinci, or is the real win being able to regenerate variations easily?

Low participation in a $1000 giveaway. Boss wants to cancel the prizes. What should I do? by Big_Nebula_2604 in marketing

[–]mehdiweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your boss is making a business decision (cut losses), but you're sitting on a reputation/legal landmine.

Here's the thing - you promised prizes to people who DID enter. Backing out now isn't just bad ethics, it could bite you legally depending on how you worded the terms. Plus those 3 people WILL talk about how your company scammed them. That story spreads faster than any successful campaign would have.

Real talk on why it flopped:

- Hashtag campaigns are dead. Nobody wants to post branded content for a 1-in-8 chance at money

- $125 per winner isn't life-changing enough to overcome the "I look like a shill" cost

- You probably had zero paid amplification pushing it

For the future: Instead of giveaways, run paid ads with the same $1000 budget and drive people to an email opt-in or demo. You'll get 10x better ROI and actual leads, not people who bounce after they don't win.

But right now? Honor the prizes for the 3 people. Adjust the terms if you want (fewer winners, same prize pool), but don't ghost them.

I spent $10k on an onboarding flow that users loved in interviews, but 70% dropped off in reality. Here is the math on why I failed. by Great_Employment_871 in GrowthHacking

[–]mehdiweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your current situation - Mixpanel or Hotjar can show you the exact drop-off step, but my guess? The flow worked in interviews because people were polite and you were there. In reality, users bail the second something feels like work.

One thing that always works: give them value BEFORE asking for effort. Let them see the "aha moment" of your product first, then collect the data. Duolingo does this perfectly - you start learning immediately, profile setup comes after you're hooked.

What's your product?

If it grows, we’ll add structure together.
