denas (@denasklncs) reportedyour spf, dkim and dmarc are all green. you still have a deliverability problem. this trips people up, so here is the plain version. authentication is not a deliverability strategy. gmail requires it. yahoo requires it. outlook rejects without it. it is the cover charge. passing it does not mean you are good. it means you are allowed in. if it shows up on an invoice as a deliverability service, you are paying someone to hold a door open.

Final Verdict (@FinalVerdictYT) reportedHere we go again, @TeamYouTube. Last year, YouTube wrongfully deleted my channel “Final Verdict” without explanation. It took 96 days of public posts, stress, and fighting before you finally admitted it was a mistake and reinstated it. Now it's happening again, but worse. This time Google disabled my ENTIRE account. And now I can’t access my 2nd YouTube channel “Final Hour” because of it. On top of that, my tax documents, bank details, payment information, and TIN number are all locked in my Gmail inbox. Right before the suspension, I was suddenly logged out of all my devices. If someone tried to target or hack my account, your automated system might have panicked and locked it down as a false flag. But instead of protecting me, I am now permanently locked out of my own account. The reasons given for the suspension? - "This account might have been created by a computer program or bot." - "Use of multiple accounts for abuse." Let's go through this. I created this account myself, and I’ve been actively using it every day. On my personal device. With my own phone number. Verified with SMS, 2FA (Google Authenticator), AND video verification on my YouTube channel. You literally have my face on record. That's not a bot. And multiple accounts? Google's own policy page says: "Many people have more than one Google Account, like a personal account and a work account. Uses like that are fine." I have a separate account for Final Verdict and Final Hour. Zero deleted channels. Zero strikes. Zero policy violations on any of them. @TeamYouTube acknowledged that themselves when they reinstated my channel last year. So which policy did I break? Google won't say. My appeals are being auto-rejected by bots. No human looked at it. Again. No evidence provided. Again. @TeamYouTube, last time it took 96 days to fix your mistake. I shouldn't have to fight this hard, again. I need a HUMAN to review this hijacked/false-flagged account!

David Blair (@davidblair777) reportedActors, it's very important that you guys start building a martech suite. That's a very fancy way of saying marketing technology, but it really boils down to about three things. Number one, you already have the socials going good on you. Number two, there is a thing called Google search console that you should take your Gmail address and register for, and then connect your socials to Google search console. The reason why is because when someone looks you up on Google, Google populates some of your social media content. And when you connect your social media to Google search console, Google search console will start telling you what people are searching for when your content gets populated. So directors, producers, people that can give you opportunities, people that are looking for collaborations. So in doing so you'll start getting some data on what people are searching for when you are populated. I'll make a few other posts about what type of marketing tech you guys should have that's really simple, really easy. But for this one, go look up Google search console, use your normal Gmail address or whatever Gmail that you use for business, connect with it and connect your social media to it.

Ridark (@ridark_eth) reportedI genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet OpusClip + Claude = a video editor your agent can call Greg just showed how to wire the OpusClip MCP server into Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT with 1 connector url this setup solves the round trip problem: > connect - add it as a custom connector once and it sits in the list next to gmail > clip - hand it a youtube, zoom, twitch or loom link and it cuts the whole thing into shorts > cowork - point it at a folder on your drive and it works through every file in there, up to 10GB > score - every clip comes back ranked, split into hook, coherence, connection and trend set it up tonight and you stop opening the editor at all watch it 👇

Jonas Stark (@jonasstarkx) reported@ComplicatedIsOK Exactly. This is the real problem: Today, the user has to guess whether the sender is real. I think Geeq could flip that model. Instead of asking users to trust a message, link, push notification, helpdesk request, or transfer instruction, the sender would first need to prove authority. A bank, exchange, company, or institution could issue verifiable receipts for: • official messages • approved links • payment instructions • wallet addresses • helpdesk requests • credential reset approvals • permission changes • account actions Then the user or app checks the proof before acting. Is this really from Bank of America? Is this Amazon message authentic? Is this Gmail security alert valid? Is this wallet address official? Was this access request approved by the right authority? No verified receipt = do not trust it. That is the service Geeq can enable: a verification layer where organizations prove identity, authority, and intent before users hand over time, privacy, credentials, or money.

Max | Google Ads (@lifemaximised) reportedNative Google ads could be making you an extra 7 figs right now but you’re sleeping on them. Here’s how to start capitalising on them: What a native ad is on Google: A Demand Gen or Display ad that reads like a recommended article, a product review, a blog post, or a news story. The ad appears in Gmail promotions tabs, Google Find feeds, YouTube home feeds, and across Google's Display partner network. The format is an image, a headline, and a description. The placement doesn't scream "SPONSORED" at the viewer. The integration looks organic. Why native ads cook: The human brain processes content and advertising through different mental frameworks. When the brain recognises something as an ad, resistance activates. "This thing is trying to sell me something." The guard goes up. Every claim gets filtered through skepticism. When the brain recognises something as content, curiosity activates. "This might be interesting or useful." The guard stays down. The message lands without resistance. Native ads exploit this distinction deliberately. A headline that says "5 Ingredients Dermatologists Say Actually Clear Acne" triggers the content framework. The viewer clicks because they want to learn something. They land on an advertorial that educates them, positions your product as the solution, and converts them through trust rather than persuasion. A headline that says "50% Off Our Acne Treatment Today" triggers the ad framework. The viewer's guard goes up. Even after a click, they're filtering every claim. Conversion rate drops. Identical audience, identical product, and the brain handles each version completely differently. The advertorial that makes native ads print: The landing page is a piece of editorial content. It looks and reads like a real article. A health publication reviewing the product. A journalist investigating the science. A first-person story about someone's experience. The structure follows the classic advertorial arc: Problem agitation (the reader sees their own struggle described in detail) Failed solutions (everything they've already tried and why those failed) The find (how the writer came across the product) Mechanism explanation (the science behind why the product works differently) Results (real outcomes with specific numbers or timelines) Social proof (reviews, testimonials, clinical data) Offer with risk reversal (the purchase feels easy and safe) THIS is how you make advertorials ACTUALLY work for your product. The reader arrives thinking they're reading an article. They leave thinking they've made an informed decision to buy something they were already looking for. Where native ads fit in the funnel: TOF and MOF. These are demand CREATION campaigns rather than demand capture. The audience hasn't searched for your product. They haven't heard of your brand. They're scrolling Find, checking Gmail, watching YouTube. The native ad interrupts them with a content-format entry point. The advertorial educates and converts. The remarketing campaign (PMax, display, video) follows up on everyone who engaged but didn't buy. Why brands fail with native ads: They send native ad traffic to a product page. The user arrived expecting content and got hit with a "BUY NOW" page. The mismatch kills trust and conversion instantly. Or they write the advertorial in a way that reads OBVIOUSLY like a fake article. Generic claims, no specificity, no real data, no authentic voice. Readers in 2026 are very good at detecting fake editorial content. If the page reads like AI-generated slop, they bounce. The advertorial needs to read like a real journalist wrote it. Specific numbers. Named ingredients with mechanisms explained. Real customer stories. Real photos. Genuine voice. The strongest native ads are indistinguishable from the content surrounding them. That's the standard. The CPA advantage: Native ad CPMs are 30-60% lower than standard Demand Gen placements because the format blends with content. Fewer people recognise the placement as an ad, which means fewer people skip, which means the platform charges you less per impression. Lower CPM + higher CTR (content curiosity > ad resistance) + higher landing page conversion (advertorial trust > product page skepticism) = the lowest CPA in the account. We run native ads as the TOF entry point for every client account with proven BOF and MOF campaigns. The CPA advantage compounds as the advertorial data feeds back into Google's targeting. If you want me to build a native Google ads system for your brand btw, DM me "GADS"

Garrett Lisi (@garrettlisi) reportedAs many of you do, I have an email problem. Things seemed pretty manageable when I first started getting emails, in 1985 or so. In the 1990's things ramped up, but I kept my email account more-or-less organized and got replies out and old emails sorted into about ten folders. In 2004 I archived these and switched over to Gmail (with my first gmail (about Clifford Algebras) from Mike Rios). Then, in 2007... newspapers and magazines decided I was interesting, I got an excited message from my friend Rich about web server overload, and my Inbox exploded. I was barely able to keep up with reading it, and thought I'd eventually be able to reply to all of it, but... it rapidly attained Inbox escape velocity and I was never able to catch up with it -- I couldn't even sort all of it. In the 2020's things finally tapered down, but now instead of fan and physicist mail I kept getting billing and marketing emails. It seemed like every time I'd buy a taco I would end up on that company's email list. I would religiously unsubscribe, but my Inbox was still pandemonium and barely usable. As of last Friday, I had 391,818 emails, mostly sorted into about thirty folders (now called "labels" in Gmail) but with 84,732 in my Inbox, with the oldest dating back to the beginning of the 2007 wave. I probably sorted 100k by hand over the years, as well as using a bunch of filters, and kept looking for intelligent tools for sorting, but there was nothing good... until now. On Friday I had Claude Code (with Fable) tackle the problem. It installed some python tools, I gave it access, and we attacked the Inbox together (being careful about prompt injection attacks). It would give short summaries of the personal email, bunch up the company email, and make its guesses at which of 38 labels they should get sorted into; I would rapidly review these and approve or make sorting changes, and it would sweep them. By Sunday we were done, and I went for a bike ride.

Abdullahi Alhaji Goni (@GoniAlhaji63313) reportedOne of the most common mistakes founders make when starting their startups is relying on their own personal information or personal accounts to run the business. It feels convenient in the early days — why set up a separate bank account or company email when you're just trying to get something off the ground? But this shortcut creates problems that compound as the company grows. Legally, mixing personal and business finances can put a founder's own assets at risk, since it undermines the separation between them and the company. It also slows down fundraising, because investors expect clean, separate financials during due diligence, and tangled personal expenses raise red flags. Ownership and intellectual property can become messy too — if the product lives on a personal GitHub account or contracts are signed by the founder personally rather than by the company, untangling that later, especially with co-founders or investors involved, is a headache nobody wants. There's also a credibility cost: reaching out to partners from a personal Gmail address or running the company's social media from a personal account makes the business look less established than it is. And perhaps most dangerous is the continuity risk — if key accounts like the domain registrar or hosting provider are tied to one person's personal login, the entire company is vulnerable to losing access if that person leaves, gets locked out, or something happens to them. The solution isn't complicated: a dedicated business bank account, a company email domain, and separate logins for critical services. It takes a little more effort upfront, but it saves founders from a much bigger mess down the road.

Alex Vacca (@itsalexvacca) reportedone of the domains in your cold email setup is carrying other people's spam complaints. it's the tracking domain, and your own reporting will never show it. the shared tracking domain your sending platform hands you by default sits on every other customer's links too, so their spam complaints ride into your emails on the same wrapper. your own sending looks clean the whole time. that's step 4 of 8. @Kenny_GTM sets up the cold email infrastructure on every client account we run. we've sent 23M+ cold emails across those campaigns. here's his full build order: 1/ domains buy 10 to 15 for a launch build, 20 for the full spec, all close variations of your brand. keep the primary domain out of the sending path. burning a sending domain is routine and survivable. burning the one your contracts and invoices go through means you spend months repairing your company's email rather than a campaign. 2/ mailboxes run 2 or 3 per domain and never more. past that the domain reads as a sending farm. split the estate 50/50 between google workspace and microsoft 365, because the two filter on different rules. put everything on one provider and one bad filtering week hits all of your capacity instead of half of it. 3/ dns SPF, DKIM and DMARC go on every domain before any mailbox sends, warm-up included. weak copy costs you reply rate over weeks. a domain with no authentication gets flagged on the first send, before anyone opens the email. you read it as a bounce rate that stays high no matter what you change in the copy. 4/ tracking domain the one from the top of this post. teams skip it more than any other step, and skipping it undoes steps 1 through 3. one subdomain you own, configured per sending account. 5/ platform instantly handles pure email. lemlist earns its place when linkedin matters. smartlead comes in when the client brings it. connect every mailbox before warm-up so the platform builds the sending history for you. 6/ rotation and warm-up mailbox rotation goes on from day one so sends spread across the estate. every mailbox then gets 2 weeks minimum before it touches a campaign, and 30 days is the safer number now that gmail puts a warning banner on domains younger than that. cut it short and the failure only surfaces after the campaign is live and the domain is already marked, and warm-up won't repair it from there. you replace the domain and start over. 7/ send limits cap each mailbox at 20 to 25 sends a day. volume comes from mailbox count. 40 mailboxes at that rate sends 800 to 1,000 a day and none of them looks unusual. set the cap inside the platform itself. 8/ placement clear 95%+ in the primary inbox before the first real campaign. anything sitting in spam produces no pipeline at all. if you're running this spec and landing well under 95%, the cause is back in steps 1 through 6. domains get replaced every 9 to 12 months. stagger the replacements, because rotating all 20 at once puts the whole estate back to zero and every new domain still owes you its two weeks of warm-up. the two numbers that break first: > spam rate above 0.1% > bounce rate above 3% both shift weeks before reply rate does. by the time reply rate drops, the damage is a few weeks old and the domain is usually past repairing. all of that is phase 1. phase 2 is data and targeting, phase 3 is the copy. most teams start at phase 3 in week 1, which is why they spend the next month debugging subject lines for a domain problem. you just read phase 1. @Kenny_GTM wrote all three, plus the ten-line weekly dashboard and the numbers that mean you already have a problem. follow him if cold email is a channel you depend on.
