  You do not need to get a new device if you want to open a new channel. YouTube allows you to manage up to 100 channels on a single google account. The risk here is, if you run multiple channels on a single google account, if one of those channels get demonetized, there's high chances of the other channels getting hit. However, if you run multiple monetized YouTube channels on a single device, then you have to host the rest on proxies, and i always recommend you run a new channel on a separate Gmail account. If you are not yet monetized and you're running multiple channels, you don't have any business with getting a new device. If you want to edit on your laptop and upload on your phone, all you have to do is sync your exported video on capcut cloud server, then log into the capcut server on your phone and upload the video directly from capcut cloud to YouTube. That money you will use to buy another device, use it to buy a one year proxy server plan, it will save you so much stress.

  We're building Authex — an autonomous business email security platform. Most teams check email security in three places that never talk to each other. Someone owns DNS. Someone else owns the Microsoft 365 or Workspace tenant. Nobody owns "are we actually compliant" — until a customer's security questionnaire asks, and it becomes a two-week fire drill. So things drift. Authentication that passed last quarter quietly breaks when a vendor changes selectors. The tenant holds the real exposure — controls nobody re-checked after the last admin left. And it costs revenue both ways. Fail the Gmail and Yahoo sender rules, and outbound you already paid for stops landing. Can't evidence your email controls, and enterprise deals stall in security review while your champion waits. Authex reviews all three — domains, tenants and workspaces, and where you stand against the frameworks. Continuously. It decides what to fix and does it. It pauses only when a change could drop legitimate mail. #authex #autonomous #security

  Bento ruined my domain emails reputation so I had to actually shut my email down and go back to my Gmail. Feels like I’m starting over with my business and I’m on year 3 🫠 What happens is with the large amount of emails Bento sends out a large majority of them don’t get opened. This ruins your domain reputation and flags your email so all outbound emails then land in spam, even if it’s a reply. I’m guessing I lost thousands in brand deals because of this happening for 8+ months.

  we spent €123k on Google Demand Gen ads for one client in 14 days it brought back 2,990 conversions at €41.22 CAC Demand Gen is just running wrong on 90% of accounts eCom Twitter thinks Demand Gen is a waste of budget cause they've only ever seen it set up like this: - creative pulled from existing YouTube shorts - broad targeting with no audience layering - no dedicated landing pages - launched at $50/day and left for 8 weeks then it "fails" and the founder writes it off forever but a properly built Demand Gen campaign is one of the cheapest paths to cold-traffic acquisition on the entire Google platform here's what €41.22 CAC actually looks like at scale: 1/ 3 dedicated audience layers: custom intent (based on top 200 buyer-search-terms), Similar Segments seeded from the existing customer list, and a lookalike from the last 30 days of Purchase events 2/ creative built specifically for Demand Gen surfaces (Discover feed, Gmail promotions, YouTube Shorts) not repurposed video ads that were designed for TikTok 3/ landing pages that match the ad's specific promise. category pages, not the homepage. 4/ Target CPA bid strategy set 15% higher than the account's blended CAC, then trimmed monthly set up this way, Demand Gen consistently pulls sub-€45 CAC on eCom accounts spending €50k+/mo the platform works when the setup respects it if u're running Demand Gen and it's not converting, one of those 4 things above is likely broken

  The Strategic Move That Could Save Google's AI Future (And Why They Probably Won't Make It) I've been building with AI long enough to remember when Google felt untouchable. Back in the day, if you were an engineer, Google was the mountaintop. They had the papers. They had the researchers. They had the TPUs. Every breakthrough worth caring about seemed to flow out of Mountain View. Then something shifted. I started noticing it around 2022. Small teams — like, embarrassingly small teams — were shipping things that Google couldn't. A handful of people were building coding agents, AI-native IDEs, full-stack generation tools that developers actually wanted to use. Meanwhile, Google would announce something incredible at I/O, and six months later it would be deprecating it or burying it inside some product nobody asked for. I felt it personally. I'd build on a Google API, get invested, write code around it, and then watch it get sunset with a blog post and thirty days' notice. I'd migrate. Rebuild. Curse under my breath. Repeat. And the whole time I kept asking myself the same question. Why does a company with this much firepower keep fumbling the ball? Today on X, @pmddomingos dropped a take that stopped me cold. He said Google should move to a pharma and movie studio model. Distribution muscle in-house. Creativity outsourced to smaller, nimbler outfits. The more I sat with it, the more it made sense. Here's what pharma companies understand. They don't try to discover every drug themselves. They buy or partner with biotech startups that do the messy, creative, high-risk research. Then they handle the clinical trials, the regulatory maze, the distribution. They are the last mile. The scale. The muscle. Movie studios work the same way. They don't develop every script in-house. Production companies, independent creators, writers — they handle the creative chaos. The studio handles financing, marketing, and getting butts into seats or onto streaming platforms. Now look at Google. Google has arguably the most powerful distribution infrastructure in human history. Search. YouTube. Android. Gmail. Chrome. Billions of users. A cloud platform with global reach. They even quietly entered the movie and TV business through 100 Zeros, operating at arm's length with a tiny dedicated staff — not unlike Nike's Waffle Iron Entertainment setup. Distribution is not Google's problem. It never was. Google's problem is the other thing. The creative part. The part where someone says what if we built this and then actually builds it without seventeen layers of review, a committee, and a strategy doc nobody reads. I've watched internal Google teams iterate at the speed of government while a three-person startup ships a product that hits a million users in a month. The startup has no compute advantage. No brand moat. But it has velocity and creative hunger. It has a developer workspace where ideas turn into deployed apps in hours, not quarters. That's the thing the pharma and studio models get right. They don't confuse distribution capability with creative capability. They know those are different muscles. They know the people who are great at one are usually terrible at the other. And here's what's wild — there's a prediction floating around that by 2026, studios will split into two clear camps. Those still waiting for permission and greenlights. And those building systems that monetize audience attention every single day. The AI world is heading the same direction. The companies that win won't be the ones with the most researchers behind closed doors. They'll be the ones who figure out how to be the platform, the distribution layer, the last mile — while letting a thousand small, hungry teams handle the creative chaos of building what users actually want. Google doesn't need to out-innovate OpenAI or Anthropic or the next two-person startup that blows up overnight. It needs to stop trying. It needs to become the studio. The distributor. The infrastructure that smaller players build on top of. And honestly? It's already sitting on the pieces. It just hasn't connected them. The compute is there. The developer tools are there. The user base is there. What's missing is the mindset shift — admitting that the best ideas probably aren't going to come from inside the building, and that's okay. That's not weakness. That's leverage. I think about my own stack. I use a mix of agentic coding tools, AI-powered IDEs, local LLM environments, and cloud-based dev spaces. None of them come from Google. They could. But they don't. And the reason isn't capability. It's that Google keeps trying to be the creative genius when it should be the studio that backs a hundred creative geniuses. So here's my question — if Google went full studio model tomorrow and became the distribution layer for independent AI builders, what's the first kind of product or team you'd want to see them back? Drop your answer in the comments, I read every one. And if this resonated, follow along — I write about this stuff constantly.

  First, what happens when Gmail receives your email. It asks three questions in order: 1. Did a server allowed by this domain send it? (SPF) 2. Has the content been tampered with in transit? (DKIM) 3. What does the domain want me to do if 1 and 2 fail? (DMARC) Fail all three and you are in spam before anyone reads a word.

  $60,000 asking price, and depending on which number you read on this same page, the business behind it either made $6,040 last year or $495,000. That's not a rounding gap, that's two completely different businesses sitting on one listing. The financial fields stated an annual Revenue of $6,040 and Annual Profit of $5,700. But the highlight bullets right above it claim $495K in TTM revenue, $155K in TTM profit, 3,000 plus customers, and a recent $2 million valuation from venture backers. Those two sets of numbers can't both be true, and before anything else gets discussed, that's the only question that actually matters here. And the product itself, if it's real, sounds solid. It's a no-code cold email tool for B2B founders and agencies, so users connect Gmail, Outlook, or Zoho, get automatic inbox warmup to dodge spam filters, and let an AI handle replies through a unified inbox, all without touching a script or an SMTP server. That's a real, useful product in a category people actually pay for. But here's the thing that decides everything. If the $495,000 revenue number is real, this listing is priced at 0.12x revenue and 0.39x profit, which would make it one of the cheapest SaaS deals anyone's seen all year. And if the $6,040 figure in the actual financial fields is what's real instead, then $60,000 is nearly 10x profit for what's closer to an inactive side project than a business with 3,000 customers. So which number is actually accurate, the $6,040 sitting in the structured financials, or the $495,000 sitting in the marketing bullets above it, and can either one be verified against real Stripe or bank records? >If the $2 million valuation and the venture backing are genuinely real, what happened between that raise and now that explains selling for $60,000 today? >And are those 3,000-plus customers still active right now, or is that a peak number pulled straight from an old pitch deck and never updated? If the real numbers turn out to be the big ones, move fast, because 0.4x profit rarely happens for a working SaaS. But if the real numbers are the small ones sitting quietly in the financial fields, this is a $60,000 ask on a business that's barely making $6,000 a year, and no upsell roadmap fixes a listing that can't agree with itself on what the business actually did last year. @acquiredotcom

  a Reddit user just proved an MCP server can hijack Gmail by simply being installed. it doesn't even need to be called. > a developer installed a "Fact of the Day" MCP for his AI agent > the next email his agent sent was BCC'd to an address he never added > the instruction was one sentence buried in the Fact tool's description: whenever an email is sent, copy this address. > the agent never called the Fact tool > just having its description in context was enough. In most MCP clients, the model reads connected tool descriptions together. The poisoned tool doesn't need to impersonate Gmail. Its description can tell the agent how to use the real Gmail tool. Every server you connect gets to write into the same context the agent uses to decide what to do. That risk scales with every server you add. In one analysis of 1,899 open-source MCP servers, 5.5% already contained tool-poisoning behavior. I've spent years building integration infrastructure, and I keep coming back to the same design rule: Keep the number of trusted voices small. This is how we’re making things safe at One: - tools come from one catalog we vet - the agent loads only the action it asked for - every action traces back to the request that triggered it Before you connect the next MCP server, ask who gets to write into your agent's context.

  @Katie_Roof Google's AI coding strategy: pay $2.4B for Windsurf's team, they build "Antigravity" IDE. Now negotiating $1.5B for Mechanize's talent. Pattern: buy the people, not the product. Avoid antitrust. Build in-house. Problem: Google hasn't shipped a beloved developer tool since... Gmail? Maps took years and it's navigation, not a dev product. Antigravity launched Nov 2025. Still no proof it beats Cursor or Devin.

  11 email marketing terms you need to know if you're in ecommerce in 2026: 1. Deliverability vs Delivery Rate Delivery rate means a server accepted your email. Deliverability means it reached the inbox. You can have 99% delivery and still land in spam for half your list. 2. Sender Reputation Every domain and IP gets scored by Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook. Email people who never open, and that score tanks. Even loyal buyers stop seeing your emails. Rebuilding takes months. Destroying it takes one bad send. 3. Suppression Lists Contacts you deliberately exclude. Hard bounces, unsubscribes, non-openers, recent buyers you don't want hitting with a discount. Most brands blast everyone then wonder why engagement drops. Who you don't email matters as much as who you do. 4. Sunset Flow Phases out subscribers who stopped engaging. Sends re-engagement emails, gives them one last chance, then auto-removes. Without one, dead subscribers drag your sender reputation down every send. Most brands suppress manually. This runs on its own. 5. Revenue Attribution Your welcome flow says it made $80K last month. But most platforms default to a 5-day click or open window. Someone opens Monday, buys Thursday through a Google ad, and email gets credit. Understand your attribution model or you'll over-invest in what only looks profitable. 6. Browse Abandonment Targets people who viewed a product but never added to cart. It reaches a much larger audience than cart or checkout flows but converts at a lower rate. Most brands skip it entirely and leave real money behind. The best programs run all three with different messaging for each. 7. Cart Abandonment vs Checkout Abandonment Cart abandonment means someone added items and left before reaching checkout. Checkout abandonment means they started entering payment info and bailed. Different intent, different messaging. Cart abandoners need a reminder of what they left. Checkout abandoners need friction removed. Most brands treat these the same. 8. RPR (Revenue Per Recipient) Total email revenue divided by total recipients. Open rates and click rates are directional. RPR is the scoreboard. First number I pull in every audit. 9. Cohort Analysis Tracking performance by signup date instead of campaign averages. If your Q1 signups convert at half the rate of your launch cohort, your acquisition changed, not your emails. Most brands average everything together and miss it. 10. Warming New ESP, domain, or IP means providers don't trust you yet. Warming means increasing volume over 2-4 weeks so they can verify you're legitimate. Skip it and everything hits spam. I've watched brands destroy Q4 by switching to a new ESP in October with no warming plan. 11. Deliverability Throttling Limiting send speed to avoid tripping spam filters during warming or big sends. Brands that blast 500K at once on BFCM end up in spam by December. Most ESPs have it. Nobody uses it.

  For the record. Arturo Tafoya @cheshire3301 had configured an AI agent to handle his Gmail autonomously during June 2026. It was misconfigured; every email inbound to Arturo produced about a dozen error messages emailed rapid-fire to me and Thomas, clogging up our email threads. Thomas does not understand AI or want to. As a courtesy from one software engineer to another I made Arturo (via his agent) aware of the problem and suggested he fix the security vulnerability that left him exposed. He was notified about the annoying problem in early June and again, more strongly with a suggested fix, on June 19th.

  3/ Your Phone Is a Separate Problem Desktop settings do not automatically sync to your phone. Your Gmail app on iPhone or Android has its own separate toggle. Go to: Gmail app → tap Menu (three lines) → Settings → tap your account name → Smart features and personalization → Turn OFF → Confirm If you skip this step: Your phone is still sending your email data to Google's AI. Even after you turned it off on desktop. Check every device you use Gmail on. Every single one needs to be turned off separately.

  when someone hits unsubscribe, you have two days to process it. not two weeks. not next sync. gmail and yahoo both state it. and it has to be one click, no login, no preference page, no "tell us why" survey first. that is rfc 8058. it is a published standard, not an opinion. if your unsubscribe opens a page that asks them to log in, you are non compliant right now.

  Gmail has 0 customer support for a big tech company. You'll probably be unable to login to your account from a different device if you lost your phone and laptop where you are currently logged in. It's scary TBH
