This is as expected…they can afford the risk of tariffs because of Vietnam production and COGS lower than the market realizes. But Sony has 90%+ from China and price is likely to rise to $999+ while Switch 2 at $449

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

Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Frames the idea around what the reader stands to lose, which is more motivating than gain.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Mechanisms: Specificity, Loss aversion
Written for: Founders and operators

Netflix is deliberately choosing to pay people to create sexualized content for children. Freedom of speech should be respected, but this is PAID speech. Netflix is going out of their way and reaching into their wallet to push this.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Breakdown of the Black Friday data tells us: -Consumer is weakening. -95% of sales volume was financed. -67% of that intends not to pay off within 30 days. -Roughly $1B was spent using BNPL models which are the worst debt. This points to a *really* unhealthy economy.

Melania, the documentary no human wants to see, has a budget of $40 million, $28 million of which is “licensing fees” paid to the Trumps. FYI to all the MAGAs who fart out “hE dOnAtEs HiS saLaRy!!”, that one $28 million Bezos bribe is **70 years** worth of presidential salary.

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.
