Nainsi Dwivedi (@NainsiDwiv50980) reportedClaude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok agree on almost nothing. They all quietly agreed on MCP. Here's the part nobody's telling you: there are 11,000+ MCP servers live right now, and fewer than 5% make a single dollar. The plumbing is built. The money isn't picked up yet. MCP is basically USB-C for AI. Before it, connecting an AI to your tools meant hand-wiring a custom integration every single time. Now you build one small server and every major AI can plug into it — Gmail, your database, Notion, any API. And you don't even need to be a real engineer anymore. You describe the tool, Claude or ChatGPT writes most of the server, you ship it in a weekend. The playbook is stupidly simple: → Find a boring workflow someone repeats every week → Build one sharp MCP server that kills it → Free tier for reach, paid tier for revenue → Charge per use, per seat, or per outcome Servers that actually solve something are pulling $500–3K/mo. Some hit $10K in six weeks. Built once, sold on repeat. The window where "understands MCP + ships one tool" is rare won't stay open long. The marketplace is empty. Be the one who fills it.

🦋Bella E🦋 (@BellaBennieEnzo) reported@gmail For weeks I haven't been able to insert pictures from my gallery into email using the paper clip. But I can insert them if I share them into Gmail. And sometimes I can insert them by using file but I do a lot of work with pictures And this is bad. Known problem pls fix it

Inference Engine (@iedaily_) reportedRay-Ban Meta glasses are good and all, but it's high time they address these problems: 1. No live video analysis. The glasses take a picture, process it, and then return. Feels slow compared to Gemini. 2. App ecosystem is limited. Yes, you can connect Gmail and Calendar, but the glasses should connect to a host of apps, with devs given the option to build for it. 3. Finally, the AI needs to improve, with better answering and memory to remember context from previous conversations.

Ven Venkata | Email Marketing (@0Venkata) reportedInbox placement is not the same thing as delivery rate. Delivery rate is what your ESP reports. It measures whether the email was accepted by the receiving server, not bounced, not rejected outright. Most ESPs show delivery rates of 98-99% and teams read that as "our emails are reaching people." Delivery to a spam folder counts as delivered. Delivery to a promotions tab counts as delivered. An email that sits unopened in a folder the recipient never checks counts as delivered in the ESP dashboard. Inbox placement is the number that actually matters: what percentage of delivered emails reached the primary inbox versus spam, promotions, or another folder. This is not in your ESP. Your ESP doesn't know where the email ended up after the receiving server accepted it. Google Postmaster shows inbox placement for Gmail recipients specifically. GlockApps and Mail-Tester run seed tests that simulate placement across multiple providers before a send. A 99% delivery rate and a 60% inbox placement rate is not a good outcome. It's 40% of sends reaching a folder where they have a meaningful chance of never being seen, reported as a 99% success. The metric your ESP leads with is not the metric that determines whether your email program works.

Talha Ejaz (@TalhaEjaz07ee) reportedI tried to run an email server on my home server using my custom domain. Not recommended. Spam filtering is a very difficult job that we take for granted in Gmail or Outlook.

Subscribr (@SubscribrAI) reportedJapan is one of the most technologically advanced countries on Earth... So naturally, the fastest growing "ancient Japanese wisdom" channel on YouTube has no Japanese people involved at all 10,200 subscribers. 19 videos. 800,000 views in 60 days. No presenter. No face. No camera. Just stock footage of lawns and driveways, an AI voice, and a channel called "The Japanese Method" teaching Americans how to fix their gardens using techniques that have almost nothing to do with Japan. And the audience does not care, because he sells an ebook and they buy it. A country famous for engineering, robotics, and precision is being repackaged as folk wisdom by a faceless channel selling $30 guidebooks to homeowners in Ohio. And it is outperforming 99% of channels run by actual gardeners. People do not trust cleaning brands anymore. They do not trust product reviews or sponsored ads. The one thing that still cuts through is an authority frame — a phrase like "the Japanese method" or "the Amish way" that implies ancient wisdom the audience has never heard before. Your brain runs the same trust loop whether the wisdom is real or invented. Now the money. A faceless channel this size in a normal niche pulls $400 to $600 a month from ads. A grocery bill. The ebook is the whole business. sells "The Complete Japanese Method guidebook." $30 per copy. At 0.5% conversion on 400,000 monthly views, that is $6,000 a month from the ebook alone. And the channel is scaling. In 90 days that number crosses $15,000 a month. Same views, same videos, 20x the revenue AdSense would produce. Here is the exact playbook. Step 1. Pick the niche on math, not passion. Target 35 to 65 year old homeowners in the US, UK, Canada, Australia. They spend on their homes. They read ebooks. They fall for authoritative sounding traditions. Step 2. Build a brand around an authority frame instead of a face. Japanese method. Amish secret. Nordic tradition. Ancient Roman technique. Any cultural label that implies wisdom the audience has never heard before. The label carries the trust. You never need a presenter. Step 3. Use ONE consistent voice and visual style across every video. Same AI voice. Same thumbnail template. Same intro. Same outro. Recognizable in one clip. This separates a legitimate faceless brand from the AI slop YouTube is wiping out by the thousands. Step 4. Warm up the account for 7 days before uploading. Real gmail. Watch videos in the niche. Subscribe to 10 to 15 channels. Post on day 8. Check impressions at 48 hours. Above 500 means the channel is alive. Under 500 means restart with a new gmail. Step 5. Attach the ebook from video 1. The Japanese Method sells the guidebook before the audience even shows up. The model only hits $10,000 a month when there is something to buy the moment trust kicks in. Step 6. Post 2x a week for 10 videos. Read the outliers. Double down. The lawn video pulled 357,000 views at 8.5x the channel average. The next 5 videos should be about lawns and outdoor maintenance. The algorithm just told them what the channel is. The window is the entire point. Faceless channels with strong authority frames are still underbuilt on YouTube long form. The Japanese Method is one of a handful of channels proving the play works while everyone else argues about whether AI content is allowed. It is. YouTube is not anti-AI. YouTube is anti-slop. A consistent faceless brand with an authority frame, a niche voice, and a real ebook is exactly what the classifier wants to see. A completely made up "Japanese cleaning tradition" figured out YouTube before most real gardeners with actual expertise and a real product.

BDazz | Brandon (@BrandonBDazz) reported@mistressdivy It varies where it’s coming from because it could be a data transfer issue (try again when next email comes) or the sender ignores it and emails you again for whatever purpose. You can look through the ‘manage subscriptions’ in gmail to see all the emails you’re subscribed to.

Frank O'Connor (@HusbandOfAyn) reportedDear @Tesla your new car process sucks. My wife is buying a Y. Things went south when she used GPay to pay the 500 bucks or whatever. She was switched to her Gmail, which isn't her Tesla account, she's on my CT and has an account through her main email. Then, it routed everything to an address from 10 years ago. We'll that's not going to work. So then we spent an hour with a person, we had to complete a new Tesla account just to merge it. It took my wife over 4 hours to buy a model Y. This system is ****. Does it work? Yes. It's it user proof? **** no. My wife has PTSD of her phone browser tab closing and losing what she was working on in the TSLA app. If Tesla's going to under sell or not pay for salesman or people who answer the phone on a buy-in, then the system has to be perfect. It is not perfect. I deal with this also because I have to use the Tesla app to submit issues with my cyber truck. I'd rather use a web browser on my main pc because the app is horrible. I'm not allowed to. This is retarded. Dear TSLA, you succeed, I succeed. Investor from week 1. This is a problem.

Chris Lang (@ChrisLangSocial) reportedSo the #1 thing I'm seeing with Shopify brands right now, and I've diagnosed this twice just in the last month, is that your emails aren't even landing anymore. They're going to spam and you don't know it because your open rates look totally fine. And here's why they look fine. The machines open everything now. Everything. Apple Mail, Gmail, all of it, they pre-load your emails on their own servers before a human ever looks at it, so that open rate you're staring at, half of it's a ghost. It's not real. It's telling you everything's good while your clicks fall off a cliff and your revenue falls right behind it. So you're sitting there thinking it's your content, thinking you gotta write better subject lines, and it's not that at all. Here's what's actually happening. Those fake opens are hiding the fact that half your list is dead. And when you keep mailing dead subscribers because the numbers look fine, Gmail watches that, decides your mail is unwanted, and starts dumping you straight into spam. Your reputation craters and you never even saw it coming. That's why so many brands got quietly wrecked this spring. Wider sends, less engaged lists, and Gmail cracked down hard. And I'll tell you the part nobody wants to hear. Your agency didn't catch this because they get paid to send, they don't get paid to land. Big difference. So go pull your last 10 campaigns right now. If your opens are steady but your clicks just died, you're not boring, you're invisible. Nobody's even seeing you.

Matt Graham (@Matt_Graham_) reportedNotifications are the smoking of our generation. Here's how I quit (as CEO of a 220-person company): I get pinged 183 times a day. And I'm a slow processor: I need to sit with a message, think, then respond. For a founder drowning in Slack and email, that's a problem. So I built a system. Not perfect, but it gave me my focus back. 1. Every notification needs a clear owner. If someone pings me, the system has failed. The default should be "go to this person", not "go to the founder." Took a year to build. Worth it. 2. Only a handful of people reach me directly. My executive team. That's basically it. For everyone else, we run a 15-minute daily sync: "I won't answer pings all day. But in these 15 minutes, ask me anything." 3. Delegate ruthlessly. Then trust the filter. Assistants manage my Slack, LinkedIn, and Gmail. I see maybe 3 emails a day - everything else isn't important enough. Now the honest part: this is expensive. And your team won't always do it as well as you would. Partnerships, sales, escalations - people want the founder. But I can't do it all. That's the price of scaling. So you let your team do their best. Keep raising the bar. And resist the urge to grab it all back. Not perfect. But I can finally breathe again.
