Also very curious to see what you've built as I'm building something similar right now. Would you mind sending a link to adam@useindio.com?

Your website is honestly really confusing. The design is nice and clean but the messaging is really lacking. I've ran multiple small businesses and I have no idea what "Zero agent rental forever" would ever mean to a business

Minecraft Youtubers with over 500,000 subscribers were routinely making $15k for a 10 minute video a couple years ago. Probably higher now.

Yes, but I'm guessing they will open up the currency so that 3rd party servers can use it rather than having to deal with payments on their own. Hopefully it will help legitimize a lot of the current server networks.

There's a few reasons why they're doing this. My little brother ran one of the top 10 Minecraft servers a couple years ago. On a good day, he'd average 1000 players online during US hours. His server had a bunch of minigames

There's a great article on it that I'm struggling to find. But essentially, the Shazam app and related apps built on their tech are used as a massive A/B testing tool now by artists. Roll out 3 versions of the same song to 3

Exactly, it's really easy to look at the consumer value of 4sq and shrug them off without realizing their database has incredibly valuable data. Another similar company who is making a ton of money off data on the backend is Shazam.

Aside from the fact that they are a data company, not a fund... While what they are doing is completely legal it's safer for the company investing off of data to be separate from the company creating the data. Less conflicts of interes

They still get millions of location updates every 15 minutes. I don't remember the exact number as it has been a couple years since I talked with people using their data but it is much much higher than you would expect. They don't

Foursquare honestly has some of the best user location data you can buy on the market. The only companies out there with better historical data are Facebook, Apple, and Google. And as far as I know, I can't call them up and start buyin

They don't need to wait for the clients to get rich. Fidelity or Schwabb will buy them and then start to upsell the Robinhood users into other financial programs.

Robinhood is just a marketing play. Anything about them selling flow or using margin offerings to become profitable is not realistic. Traditional brokerages have a customer acquisition cost of around $400 to get someone to deposit at least

I've spent a good amount of money on Facebook ads in Asia (>$300k) and while there may be some fraud, there's definitely a completely different pattern of Facebook use in some countries. I think what you're observing is cu

I think this is probably the best suggestion in here. And I'd just add that there's no need to jump into a new backend language if you used PHP years ago. Sure it's not as robust or structured but for a hobbyist it can do eve
