$PYPL had a massive first-mover advantage with Venmo & never truly monetized it & also failed to be early in agentic commerce as others like $GOOGL pushed ahead That’s why trading at 9x earnings doesn’t matter & why today feels like a long-overdue capitulation for shareholders

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.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: concrete
Mechanisms: Specificity
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

Let’s sum things up recently with PlayStation - Increased PS5 Prices - Removed over 500 movies/TV shows from PS Store - Still wants to Focus on live service games after a whole generation of failure with them - Closed Bluepoint - Stop Disc Production in Jan 2028 What a joke…

Dear @washingtonpost You have done more damage with this failure than you can possibly imagine and you have managed at one of the most critical moments in our history to fail not only your readers but also this country. It's pathetic and nothing can explain or justify it away.

Zuck out Page out Brin out Thiel out Elon out The most successful tech founders of all time have now exited the failed state of California. You shouldn’t move there for tech. And if you are there, you should leave. The future is the decentralized Internet.

More information about the operation of the Finnish authorities on Christmas Day: Shortly after the cable failure was discovered, Finnish police high readiness unit landed on the Eagle S ship by air and took over the bridge. Crew didn't have time to react this time.

Every time someone asks me what's going on with AI, I give them the safe answer. Because the real one sounds insane. I'm done holding back. I wrote what I wish I could sit down and tell everyone I care about. Send it to someone who needs to read it. t.co

Block, the company behind @CashApp, knew its users were being scammed by fraudsters and failed to protect them. Now, my office and a bipartisan group of AGs secured $45 million from Block. I'll always hold businesses accountable when they prioritize profits over people.

Elon Musk says AI is already driving “significant productivity gains” and could ultimately increase the global economy by 20% to 30%. He sees physical AI as a major piece of that where $TSLA is betting self-driving cars and humanoid robots can automate transportation and labor.

$NVDA invested $3.5B in MediaTek convertible bonds as the two expand their partnership across custom AI infrastructure PCs and automotive. That gives Nvidia another route into custom silicon while extending its platform from AI factories to PCs and vehicles.

$NVDA has agreed to buy Hugging Face for $12.9B to own one of AI’s biggest open-source distribution layers. Hugging Face gives Nvidia a way to push more models toward its hardware while creating a natural outlet for the massive amount of AI compute it is helping finance.

Jensen Huang brushed off OpenAI’s claim that its $AVGO built Jalapeño chip beats GB300 by saying “I don’t have to take anything personally.” $NVDA is still gaining AI market share which is why Jensen says he remains “very comfortable with all the competition.”

$NVDA says memory pricing has become “extreme,” with costs rising faster than expected and supply likely constrained through FY28. If Nvidia is telling you memory is getting tighter for longer then it becomes much harder to justify $MU and $SKHY still trading below 6x earnings.

Anthropic’s massive $45B Nscale buildout will run on $NVDA Vera Rubin chips with systems beginning to come online late next year across a 6-year 460 MW commitment. Rubin demand is already being locked in before the platform even launches.
