I made games with my kids when they were that age. We did it with cardboard, poster board, markers, tape, etc, and built a real-life model/mock-up of the game first. Then we let them play it and only when they actually liked it did we

All this tells us is that advertisers were interested enough to try it. It does not tell us whether or not the ads met their expectations. If they did, this trend will continue, and the next adblocker war can begun. If they did not, that re

I read it less as a strategic pivot and more as a moment of: "Oh, shit, we gotta make money, don't we?" AI is too expensive to just run forever and figure that some future investment round will get the monetization right. We&

Are you? The entire point of linktree is to make people quickly bounce to somewhere else - to direct people to your other sites, where they can see your other content, maybe buy something you provide. If you start adding reasons for people

what is an AI-friendly linktree? There is no need for AI in an app whose purpose is simply to share a few links. I also have no idea what you mean by "people like us". Is there some specific demographic you are aiming at?

When you see people making money from something you did not get involved in, just remember: Someone will always be luckier than you, wealthier than you, etc. It doesn't matter. Measure yourself by your own life satisfaction, not by how

We cannot get full documentation on the fly, though. We can get "what this does" level of documentation for the system that AI is looking at. And if all you are doing is writing some code, maybe that is enough. But AI cannot offer
