Who do you think you making these apps for. The 60 year old. My G your kids are in the mix that you will be using your app. Ummm listen to them.

It seems that they are right in both statements. Let’s listen more to young people. Now they are the majority.

Video essays you’ll feel like you have to prep more. Or maybe edit more if not…

I think they’re right. It’s a trend. Also they’re being teenagers… a few hours ago I received one from my one of my sons…

I was skateboarding in my teens, not on social media 🤙🏽 Your content today is for parents and people that give a shit about how social media works 💐

they are probably right!!

if you want to play the algo game... - long-from video essays - clipping (OpusClip or use Whop if you really wanna head down that path) - post short-form clips across reels, tiktok, and shorts - drive audience to long-form content warning: it feels gross and you may hate yourself but sadly, it works

I always enjoy a good video essay, and it's probably a bit of a different niche that'd reach a different audience (+ more likely to be picked up in a social algo). Though it'd probably take a bunch of extra work scripting and editing to convey approximately the same information as a podcast would. Also, I'd assume that few who doesn't make a hobby out of tech would find protocols interesting - but might find the benefits of a protocol interesting if it's slightly abstracted from explaining how things work under the hood. That said, I've never done a podcast or made a long form video essay, so don't put too much stock in my 2c.

💯 people learn when they are ready
