Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Growth and marketing teams

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. t.co

So the agents basically hacked a core service to turn it into Moltbook and also hacked around multiple security mitigations This video is a glimpse into the wild cybersecurity future we are all about to step into

I wish the significance of the model came from more people actually using it and coming to their own conclusions But yes most people in the world learn about it through signifiers and not through interacting with that which is signified

Anthropic shutting down OpenClaw may turn out to be a strategic blunder, or strategic genius. The OpenClaw community will be the determiner of whether it is A or B. It's an interesting moment in history. Personally I never bet against open source.

Huge get for Airbnb and amazing role for Ahmad One of my favorite things about Airbnb is how often you get to know new people in new places, often even your host. Can you imagine what AI can do to personalize and make that happen much more often?

YC is now in its 20th year of operation, having created over $800B in new startup market value. Thanks @Kr00ney for coming to YC Demo Day and for having me on CNBC! t.co

Nah this is an exponential event for vertical SaaS More startups than ever are going from zero to $10M per year in recurring revenue with less than 10 people The next years will be IPO class companies getting to $100M to $1B/yr. A thousand flowers will bloom
