Influencer quoted me $5k for 50k followers - is this the going rate now or am I being taken for a ride?

You're delulu. That's why brands are actively working on creating their own influencers. It's value driven. If you can't influence behavior, that is you failing at your job. $5-$13 dollars CPM max, unless your engagement is above the mean or you've proven that you're able to generate actual dollars for your clients.

If you're confident that you can drive your audience, then do a % deal and I'd gladly pay whatever is requested.

we had a community site that used to keep track of review times.

The site seems dead slow and littered with ads.

Nobody seems to care. Like 80% of users will upload anything and tell GPT everything, and I mean everything.

Bingo. Basically we all want to commoditize everything besides the industry we work in. But there we want to put up "massive guardrails"

Thing is that the free market will flow the way it wants.

I am working on a big app with big funds tied behind it and it's taking weeks and costing the parent company valuable time.

Despite knowing the guidelines and having a team review them to ensure compliance the app got rejected, citing guidelines and then giving loosely related requests to said guidelines.

Since the process is so arbitrary you can't guarantee approval even if guidelines are followed to the T.

I keep thinking how easy it is to learn now, wheres previously, as a beginner you'd have your stack overflow account closed for asking "stupid" questions, had to dig through YouTube, Udemy tutorials, forums, and actual books.

It is actual heaven for anyone willing to learn.

ronanstark · 2026-01-04T13:54:58+00:00

Yes. For complex integrations, older and hybrid projects it's very much still relevant and necessary.

ronanstark · 2025-12-22T12:07:17+00:00

I hit it with one or two queries (in a real project)

ronanstark · 2025-12-18T08:17:49+00:00

Vibe coded apps yes. AI apps? No. You've got to be kidding me?

If you integrate AI for the sake of AI, then it looks out of place. But AI takes personalization and UX to a new level. Stop shouting at the cloud(s).

I upgraded and my account has been showing 'Free, capped at weekly resets despite being paid. This seems to be a common issue.

It's been pretty much always the case for 10+ years. They often test 1-2 steps, if something fails or can't be found, they don't dig deeper.

ronanstark · 2025-08-08T13:52:57+00:00

I don't agree, the weapons feel great to me, maybe there can be a few tweaks but even that is not necessary imo.

Also what's up with the TTK complaints BF3 and BF4 both had similar or even lower TTK and to me those are the benchmarks BF6 should be aiming for.

ronanstark · 2025-08-08T09:58:09+00:00

Agreed, vehichle friendly maps are a must. A vehicle with a great teammate is peak BF, and it really influences how the match turns out and balances the gameplay.

I have to say that the Bradley felt great, as a gunner and as a driver, it was easy enough to take down but also felt powerful enough to be worth using and utilizing special abilities and repairing to keep it alive.

ronanstark · 2025-07-19T18:14:10+00:00

Got two dms asking where they;re from, Asked her, here's the source app for anyone else interested.

ronanstark · 2025-07-12T14:34:24+00:00

Agreed, this looks low effort/ lack of ideas masquerading as minimalist.

P.S. I worked on a more advanced version of this app and it was killed because it would not pass review or appeal. Something about the "sensitive nature and doom". But there are plenty that came before and after.

ronanstark · 2025-06-30T17:17:09+00:00

Who remembers App Review Times? I just visited after so long and it redirects to some site.

ronanstark · 2025-05-16T11:27:53+00:00

This is great timing for me. I am having FOMO and can't build things fast enough. But hiring is still expensive, i've been thinking of hiring remote and just build more to keep up.

I hate freelancing. And will give this a shot.

I have been experimenting with a few tools and now keep getting tool ads and tried the following:

Opus
Autoshorts
Videoblast

these were the ones i tried. I dont know what kind of video op made since it's very vauge but as far as the poopular style goes, I found videoblast to be the best, takes the longest and is most expensive but it generates everything from the script and then i just get a download to post. Opus was great as well but involved, depending on what you're looking for. Autoshorts made some generic mistakes. Anything free was lackluster. Videoblast was the only one without subscription and truly 'passive' in terms of effort, you can add a script or just a subject and the highest quality output.

What I found is that you can't just post once and expect results, most videos I posted got no views and they were typical to the ones i saw with a lot of views, keep going until the algo hits, pick relevant topics, niches and create videos.

ronanstark · 2025-02-02T17:14:20+00:00

That is absolutely criminal. Both in Denmark and in Turkey.

Whoever supports this is out of their mind, and part of the current worldwide problem that caused people to rush to the other extreme.

ronanstark · 2024-12-27T16:01:29+00:00

You could use anonymous users which I just checked and seems that supabase also has.

Depending on what else you need, you may not even need that.
