  I think this is a symptom of the "internet" shrinking down to a handful of websites (Facebook, Gmail, X) for most of the population. They're not aware that outside of these walled gardens, everything is pretty much constantly on fire, all the time.

  @x_PuraVida_x @IntCyberDigest The age of spoofed email is basically over with near universal DKIM and SPF. You can’t even get delivered to gmail without those, and if you have them setup no real mail server will deliver a spoofed email from your domain.

  an email inbox that self organizes, saves me time and surfaces what i need quickly – overall easy and pleasant to use, has agents helping to route, respond, and compile context. the UI feels more like a chat app than an inbox. gmail and proton and every other email inbox out there are a terrible communication platforms and the UI is functionally retarded. someone please fix this. who’s building?

  Because the same thing already started on the read side Gemini now summarizes marketing emails inside Gmail Gmail carries 25% to 33% of all email opens So a growing share of your list gets the gist of your send without ever arriving at it One 60k newsletter watched open rates fall from 45% to 25% with zero changes on their end Here's the shape of the problem:

  @Arcane_Aii The only way to lock down gmail is by erasing it. Period. And even than all your emails have already been scanned into Gemini so yeah take that for what it’s worth.

  Emails going to spam? Use this to know what to do to fix it 👇 1. Send a copy to your personal inbox Then read the Gmail warning. If you get: "Similar messages from this domain have been marked as spam." → Your sending accounts are cooked. Rotate them. "Similar messages to this have been marked as spam." → Your COPY got fingerprinted. Rewrite it. Two very different fixes. Test before you rebuild.

  One more thing that made this work unusually well for me: Over the last six months, I had already built extensive dossiers across Claude Cowork/Code and Codex covering almost all areas of my life and work. When I created my first Grok bot, I simply pointed it at those dossiers and gave it some guidance on which specialist agents should own which domains. Then I connected it to Gmail and Google Drive. That changed everything. Now every task starts with context. Every relevant email, sent or received, is available. Every important file is already there. The historical decisions, assumptions, constraints and open issues are in the dossiers. So instead of repeatedly explaining the background, I can give the bot an objective and let it decide which agent should handle it, what context it needs, and what source material to inspect. The real unlock for agents, in my experience, isn’t just intelligence. It’s persistent context + access to your actual data + delegation.

  @TeamYouTube @YouTube @nealmohan If you truly want to help, and you're a genuine YouTube support employee, you should help me. That's what your platform states; you're a creator support team. First, before I explain my channel's content, as a credible platform, you must adhere to the policy I'm about to state: You will be notified by email of the outcome of your review request. If the request is accepted, you'll be directed back to your dashboard in YouTube Studio. If it's rejected, you'll be logged out of your account after accepting the decision. Why did you send a notification to my Gmail account informing me that my channel was removed, and now you're saying the review is complete and there's an error in the YouTube Studio dashboard? Well, where is your commitment to notify me by email of the outcome of my review request?! This is the policy, and I'll repeat it again so you don't repeat the same information you previously provided: You will be notified by email of the outcome of your review request. If the request is accepted, you'll be directed back to your dashboard in YouTube Studio. If my appeal is rejected, you will be logged out of your account after accepting the decision. Therefore, you must adhere to your policies and officially notify me of the appeal result via email. Regarding the removal of my channel on the grounds that it violates policies, my channel has never violated any of your policies, and I have the right to appeal this decision repeatedly. I want to defend my rights, and you must listen to me. This is my right; you have no right to remove the channel, reject my appeal, and then hide behind a policy of spam, deceptive practices, and scams. This is completely false. It is shameful to remove the channel unjustly and then claim it violates your policies. This is unacceptable. It states the following: 1- Misleading content: Posting videos containing misleading metadata or deceptive titles and thumbnails that do not reflect reality. I have not posted videos containing misleading metadata. All titles and thumbnails are identical to those in my videos, which are gaming videos. The image is also related to the game, and the title and description are for the game itself. You can accuse me of misleading content if I post news content, not mobile gaming content. 2- Spam in interaction: Posting excessively repetitive comments or harmful and deceptive links in comments or the forum. I haven't posted any duplicate comments. For each video on my channel, I post a single pinned comment, inviting viewers to watch videos that comment on the same video I'm commenting on. The links I use are: a link to my app on Google Play (I have proof that it's mine and that it's my app), and it's related to the content of my channel. There are no purchases, commercial activities, or offers of materials for money within the app. The app doesn't redirect users to other websites. Additionally, I include a link to a playlist related to my channel's content and a link to my Facebook group. 3- Fraud and Manipulation: Using automated tools or bots to artificially inflate views, subscribers, or likes. I did not use any automated tools to increase views. All my viewership comes from YouTube search, my channel pages, playlists, and my videos appearing in Google search results. 4- AI-Based Misinformation: Creating fake and misleading content that deceives users about specific identities or events. I did not use any AI tools in my videos. I record the video using Bandicam and then upload it to Camtasia Studio. I design the thumbnails in Photoshop. Regarding the rest of the policies, the content on my channel is created by me; it is not stolen or taken from another channel or platform. I also customize the thumbnails and titles. You must listen to us and our arguments. I cannot remain silent about a system that deleted my channel after I had edited my pinned comments. This is the second time I will submit my argument that your decision is wrong. After that, my lawyer will represent me to reinstate my channel according to the law and consumer protection procedures. My channel is still under review. You must respond to my appeal properly and according to your stated policies. You must respond to my appeal via email, not tell me through a support representative that the review is complete and that I should ignore YouTube Studio because it's a relic of the old system. It's truly ridiculous that YouTube sets its own policies and then doesn't adhere to them.

  I once posted the SAME video on 2 freshly created 0-sub channels. Channel 1: 87 impressions Channel 2: 52,330 impressions Only variable: the infrastructure behind it. Here’s what that tells us about YouTube’s algorithm: Your channel carries a score that no one will EVER show you. Think of it like credit at a bank, nobody cares if you pull up in a nice suit and a Richard Mille. They pull your history and decide how much they're willing to lend you. YouTube does the same. A trusted account gets its video in front of a REAL test audience, and if it performs YouTube scales distribution hard. If the account is not trusted, it won’t get shown to anyone, meaning nobody clicks. And when nobody clicks, the algorithm just confirms what it already suspected and moves on. Now here’s what actually feeds that score: → IP reputation and history → Fingerprint consistency across sessions → How the account behaved in week one → Upload velocity → Retention and CTR over time → Whether your engagement looks bought → How long you've stayed in one niche It’s reasonable that people obsess over the bottom half… those are the numbers YouTube Studio shows them. The top half are as important though, yet they’re invisible to the untrained eye So here’s how to spot if your infrastructure sucks: Open your channel's setup and look for anything shared. → Same IP as another channel? → Same browser profile? → Same recovery email? → Same phone number? → Same AdSense? Any of those and the channel isn't isolated. People overcomplicate this but it's simple. YouTube is trying to figure out one thing: "Is this a real separate person, or 1 guy spinning a bunch of accounts?" If your setup looks like one guy wearing 10 masks, you're cooked. A proper setup looks like this: Channel 1 → Profile 1 → IP 1 Channel 2 → Profile 2 → IP 2 Channel 3 → Profile 3 → IP 3 Each channel on its own dedicated residential IP. Not a proxy or a cheap VPN you can find anywhere. That's the whole reason I built @tubeproxies. Every IP is sourced through residential Internet Service Provider networks for one use case only: Faceless YouTube channels. Because nothing is as demanding as YouTube when it comes to IP quality. Then each channel must get its own: → phone number → recovery email → browser fingerprint → login history → normal usage pattern Next you must act normal across all of them: Don't log into Channel 1 from Profile 2 because you were lazy. Don't open your personal Gmail in the same profile. Don't check an old banned channel from the clean browser. Don't use the same SMS number across the portfolio and call it separated. This is how people poison clean channels without realizing it. They buy a good IP, then attach it to a browser that already has ***** history. They make a new Gmail, then add the same recovery email they used on 6 other channels. They get a new phone number, then log in from the same Chrome they used for a terminated account. Then they: → Post for 30 days → Get 0 impressions → Blame content/algo Could be the content. Could even be the algo. But if the infra is messy, YouTube never gave the channel a real test anyway. And if any part of your channel touches another another one such as an old account, a banned account, your personal account, or a reused setup… You must fix it before you upload again. Don't wait until the channel is doing 300k views a day to think about this. That's the worst time to start swapping IPs, emails, phones, browsers and AdSense. Sudden changes look like inauthentic account behavior. Build it clean from day one, then act normal. Browse before uploading. Warm the account up. Don't upload 3 videos in 24h on a fresh channel. Don't log in from Denmark at 9am and Texas at 9:20. Don't make the channel look like a bot farm and then wonder why YouTube treats it like one. The channel with 87 impressions was from a Nigerian IP. The one with 52.3k was a US one.

  These capitalistic tech giants astonish me. They handed me a shiny free Gmail service, stealthily vacuum up my life, then either feed the data into their own next product or sell it to whoever pays. They want a front-row seat to almost everything I do—and then they have the nerve to charge me a subscription for the privilege. Classic move: invent the problem, monetize the “solution.” The whole racket of capitalists is so brazen it almost deserves a ceremonial send-off: wrap the lot of them in their own terms of service and drop them into the deepest trench the ocean has. Anyway. Time to say goodbye to Gmail.

  @Harshsharma836 The issue isn't really about Gmail specifically being too broad, it's the leading % in the LIKE pattern. Even a rare domain would still force the same full scan since the wildcard sits at the start

  Arcane | Artificial Intelligence (@Arcane_Aii) reported 39 minutes ago

  @rhody_special Not true. Locking the account and trusting Google with mail are different problems. A hacked Gmail can reset your other accounts. A key, unique password, no SMS 2FA, and a recovery email elsewhere fix most of that. Deleting it isn’t required. Google scans mail for spam/features. That isn’t the same as “already in Gemini.” You can turn Smart features off.

  @rallynate @kbean511 There has probably been a data center near most of them for years and they didnt know. Where do they think netflix and youtube video is stored and all the photos on grandma facebook and gmail account they never delete anything from? The real issue is the mega computer centers running AI programming that shouldnt even be called data centers.

  An imported automation will not just run, and that is not a broken template. Every one of them needs your own accounts connected before it does anything. Your Gmail, your Notion, your Drive. The workflow is the wiring. It is not the electricity. Most people import one, hit the first credential error, decide the tool is broken, and never open it again. That error is the normal first step. It is the workflow telling you exactly which account it wants.

  The uncomfortable truth. Google and Microsoft have spent the last decade building the two most complete free productivity ecosystems in history. Word processing. Spreadsheets. Presentations. Email. Cloud storage. Video calls. Notes. Tasks. Projects. Forms. Websites. AI. Messaging. Calendar. PDF tools. Every category. Both companies. Free. And yet the average knowledge worker pays $80-$150/month for third-party apps that duplicate what these ecosystems already provide because Google markets Gmail and Microsoft markets Word, and neither company tells you about the other 28 tools sitting behind the same login. That’s not an accident. Google doesn’t make money when you use Google Keep. They make money when you use Gmail and Keep keeps you in Gmail longer. Microsoft doesn’t make money when you use To Do for free. They make money when your company sees you using To Do and buys Microsoft 365 Business for the entire organization. The free tools are loss leaders. They exist to acquire users, not to generate revenue. And because they’re loss leaders, neither company promotes them aggressively. You don’t see Google Keep on a billboard. You don’t see Microsoft Planner in a Super Bowl ad. The free tools are invisible by design because the business model works whether you find them or not. Meanwhile, 9 separate companies Notion, Zoom, Dropbox, Slack, Todoist, Grammarly, Adobe, Trello, and OpenAI charge you monthly for products that are often inferior versions of what Google and Microsoft give away. They survive because the free alternatives are invisible. Their entire business model depends on you not knowing that two companies already built what they’re selling. “You have two accounts. You’ve had them for years. Between them, they contain every productivity tool you need free. You’ve been paying $1,644/year for 9 apps that duplicate what your Gmail login and your Microsoft login already provide. The tools were never hidden. They were just never advertised. And 9 companies have been billing you monthly hoping they never would be.” One weekend. 9 apps canceled. $1,644/year back. The accounts were always free. The tools were always there. You just never opened them.
