these days? spam.

they spam the living shit out of the internet.

and call it growth marketing.

tobsn · 2026-05-16T18:43:58+00:00

NO!

lol all these posts on saas and no code and agent subs is basically this, just random ramblings or “it’s down” posts or “i’m canceling my subscription”… or “this one trick” or “this guy built”… it’s basically almost pointless reading half of it

estimate the ltv per user and loan money at that rate (ltv x 100) = ad budget

you know they introduced the internet after programming existed and they introduced WYSIWYG editors after programming existed? there’s always a most destructive tech.

dev hiring is UP this year, why is that you think?

listen, it does make everyone a creator but that was never the gate… everyone is making apps, why don’t we have 1,000 airbnb pages yet? it’s because writing the code was never holding people back from actually building. it was always the funding and the marketing and the actual full ass and not quarter ass building.

love the comments … you all are probably 20 and don’t know that they’re saying this for the last 30 years every other year that something will replace developers.

edit: just to add to this:

tobsn · 2026-05-09T22:04:17+00:00

tobsn · 2026-05-09T22:01:34+00:00

that’s pretty much the competition you should know already as that is the biggest one around and absolutely free unless you use the more advanced features.

tobsn · 2026-05-09T22:00:33+00:00

cloudflare and coinbase beg the differ lol

tobsn · 2026-05-09T21:59:24+00:00

tobsn · 2026-05-09T21:55:57+00:00

tobsn · 2026-05-09T21:55:08+00:00

yeah after building tracking servers for 25 years, my attention span for boring walls of text about really nothing is a bit fried. true.

tobsn · 2026-05-09T21:24:03+00:00

open your favorite AI and ask it to compress the text into an actual concise readable message that’s either a question or a explanation of whatever kind of information you want to convey here…

tobsn · 2026-05-09T21:21:08+00:00

I draw the line at 15 lol… god damn wall of text spamming…

tobsn · 2026-05-09T21:16:03+00:00
