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.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
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
Mechanisms: Specificity
Written for: Founders and operators

Disney has cancelled their deal with OpenAI. They planned to invest $1 billion into the company and let Sora have access to AI generate videos of characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars. (Source: t.co

We did it. We have a tentative deal. Over the coming days, we'll discuss and vote on it, together, as a democratic union. But today, I want to thank every single WGA member, and every fellow worker who stood with us in solidarity. You made this possible. Thank you. #WGAStrong

For years, @DoorDash cheated its delivery workers by using customers' tips to meet its workers’ guaranteed pay instead of giving them the tips they earned. Today, we're making DoorDash pay $16.75 million that will go back into the pockets of tens of thousands of workers.

Justin Bieber just put on the most profitable Coachella performance in history: $10,000,000 (performance fee) - $1,699 (Macbook Pro) - $239 (Apple Care) - $16 (YouTube Premium) - $10 (Amazon Basic HDMI cable) —————————— $9,998,036 (profit)

Anthropic just pulled Claude Code from the Pro plan. Pro users wanting it need Max now. $100/month minimum. 5x jump. I'm on Max 20x so I'm fine. Flagging for anyone on Pro who's about to find out. No announcement. Just a pricing page edit.

major price cuts today: *80% drop for GPT-5.6 Luna, now $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output *20% drop for GPT-5.6 Terra, to $2/$12 *GPT-5.6 Sol gets Fast mode in the API, up to 2.5x the speed for 2x the price, same intelligence

Snap just announced their latest generation AR glasses "Snap Specs" arrives in 47 or 52 mm sizes. Dual Chip architecture onboard LCoS waveguides with a 51 degree field of view. Electro-chromatic Dimming. 4 Hours of Battery. 132g Starting price is 2,195 USD. Launching Fall 2026

Take this with a grain of salt, because it was just whispers in my ear But back when I was told a figure for what Valve’s estimated price they’d have to set the starting price of Steam Machine, it was still higher than today’s Steam Deck prices.. And that was 2 months ago..

I use speech to text on headsets more than any other device. But it’s awkward to do around others. The fix: Apple acquired t.co a startup whose technology can analyze facial micro-movements to interpret "silent speech," in a deal valued at close to $2 billion

The way AndroidXR “previewed” the Auto Spatialization feature gets me the most hyped (and the most skeptical) The Cities game is looking like a full 6DoF window instead of just a normal stereo 3D view. Just like Apple’s Spatial Scenes That would be INSANE if that worked well

“Executives have discussed potential budget cuts as high as 30% for the metaverse group next year, which includes the virtual worlds product Meta Horizon Worlds and its Quest virtual reality unit” I guess the Metaverse is turning out to be a legendary misadventure…

I didn’t think I’d be receiving two brand new XR headsets this week… from the largest hardware manufacturers in the world I think after I get my Samsung Galaxy XR, the question I’ll ask myself: Do interested enthusiasts buy this OR a used Vision Pro M2 for about the same price
