  Yesterday I focused on one app. Today I want to show how much every platform that you wouldn't expect is included in the Illinois "social media" tax will have to pay [see math at bottom, some rough estimates] Gmail: $24,060,000/year Strava: $312,000 Goodreads: $312,000 Tripadvisor: $47,820,000 Proton email (EXEMPT bc nonprofit): $600,000 Math: each takes from est U.S. monthly users, Illinois has 12.6M people, US 350. So x/[monthly US users] * 12.6/350, then following math from bill [in screenshot] For apps like Gmail to collect user data regardless of monthly login (assume people get emails/have app on their phone/privacy policy makes this likely) I assume accordingly. Remember—it's charged NOT per monthly active user but per "the number of Illinois users from whom the social media platform collects data within a month." Full math: Gmail - Montly active US users:130000000, IL users:4680000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:2005000, Cost for IL law/Year:24060000 Proton - Montly active US users:15000000, IL users:540000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:50000, Cost for IL law/Year:600000 notes: (VERY rough estimate) Strava - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: 50M monthly, 20% in US Goodreads - Montly active US users:10000000, IL users:360000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:26000, Cost for IL law/Year:312000 notes: (ROUGH ballpark based on avail data, 50M monthly active, 20% in US) TripAdvisor - Montly active US users:240000000, IL users:8640000 ,Cost for IL law/Mo:3985000, Cost for IL law/Year:47820000 notes: 400M montly active US users, US Accounts for 60%ish

  So what actually happens when you send an email? Apple Mail preloads every single email, opened or not, which fires your tracking pixel. Gmail sometimes does the same thing, depending on the day, how the algorithm feels, who you're sending to, and what the monkeys are up to. Ad blockers kill the pixel entirely for a huge chunk of your list. And the list goes on. So that open rate in your dashboard? It's not a headcount of humans who read your email. It never was. It never was. It hasn't been for over a decade. I've watched people make genuinely bad decisions trying to optimize a number that was never clean to begin with. With open rates, you're not reading a count. You're reading a shape. What do I mean by that? If your open rate runs around forty percent and then one week it drops to eight, something changed. A deliverability issue. A subject line that missed. A segment that tuned out. You don't need the number to be precise to know something broke. Same thing in the other direction. A spike might mean a great subject line. Or it might mean Apple preloaded a big batch. So you investigate. You don't celebrate it. The metric becomes useful when you stop treating it like a fact and start treating it like a signal. Watch the trend. Know your baseline. Then you can act when the shape changes. That's it.

  instant VC rejection signals (stop wasting your time): - you make empty claims. No numbers, no proof = no credibility. - you ask for an NDA before sharing your deck. Signals inexperience. - your pitch deck has an outdated date. Signals you’ve been fundraising too long. - your market size (SAM) is over $100B. Too broad, VCs assume your numbers are wrong. - your market is too small (SAM < $1B). No VC-scale exit potential. - “we have no competition.” - founders own less than 50% after Series A. Low ownership = weak long-term incentives. - dead equity on your cap table. Bad early deals = no room for employees or future rounds. - your market size is expressed in volume, not value. VCs think in $$, not in units. - you’re not a Delaware C-Corp (or VC-friendly entity). Legal structure matters. - no technical co-founder. No CTO? No funding (for tech startups). - you want to sell to “everyone.” No clear ICP = no focus = no investment. - you talk about exits too early. If you’re pre-seed, focus on building, not selling. - your deck is full of jargon. “Disruption,” “transformation,” “game-changer” = auto-reject. - you exaggerate traction. If investors dig and find out, you’re done. - you’re using a Gmail/Hotmail email. Get a professional domain email. - you can’t estimate CAC/LTV. If you don’t know your unit economics, you’re not ready. - you’re slow to reply to emails. Speed = execution. Slow response = weak founder. - your GTM strategy is just a list of channels. No clear funnel = no go. - your round terms are off-market. Investors expect valuations in a certain range. - you’re raising for less than 18 months or more than 24 months of runway. Too little = risky, too much = over-optimistic. - talking “equity” and “valuation” at pre-seed. Pre-seed rounds = SAFEs, not priced equity. - you can’t handle rejection. VCs talk, don’t burn bridges. - you’re building in a cold market. Some sectors just aren’t getting funded right now. - no “unfair advantage.” If anyone can copy you, why should VCs bet on you? - you’re a Forbes 30 Under 30. 🚩 Investors know PR ≠ success. - your deck is circulating without investor engagement. If no one's biting, something's off. what else?

  A 22-YEAR-OLD FROM LONDON CLOSED A DEAL ON AN AI AGENT TEAM WITH ZERO DEVELOPERS ON HER TEAM. CLIENT SIGNED THE CONTRACT. SYSTEM RUNS ITSELF. she is not a programmer. not technical. has no team. but she has four agents and one pipeline that does what others pay $370,000 a year for. agent 1 scrapes google maps and instagram while she sleeps. leads are already in the system by morning. agent 2 creates a personalized plan and mockup for every potential client. automatically. no human involved. agent 3 writes a personal outreach email for each lead and drops a ready draft directly into the client's gmail. agent 4 coordinates the work of all three. tracks the status of every lead. signals when a human is needed. the rest of the time - full autopilot. she did not write code. she made a proposal. negotiated the terms. got the contract signed. claude code did everything else. most businesses still keep people on tasks that require no decisions - only execution. lead generation. cold outreach. personalized mockups. emails. anything with a clear algorithm AI closes better. faster. without errors from exhaustion. and while a competitor waits for a reply from a junior - her system already sent its hundredth email today.

  Open source NotebookLM alternative with no data limits and AI agents. Same idea as Google's NotebookLM. Same chat-with-your-docs. Same podcast generator. Same cited answers. Except this one has no source limit, no notebook limit, no 200MB file cap, and no Google login. It's called SurfSense. Google NotebookLM vs SurfSense: - Sources per notebook: 50 to 600 → Unlimited - File size cap: 200MB and 500K words → No limit - LLM choice: Gemini only → 100+ models via LiteLLM - Local LLMs: Not allowed → Full Ollama and vLLM support - Self-host: No → Yes, one Docker command - Price: $0, $19.99/mo Pro, or $249.99/mo Ultra → $0 forever Here's the wildest part: It connects to 27+ sources Google can't touch. Notion. Slack. Linear. Jira. GitHub. Discord. Dropbox. OneDrive. Gmail. Confluence. Obsidian. ClickUp. Microsoft Teams. Airtable. Your entire work life, indexed once, searchable from one chat box. 14.4K GitHub stars. 1.4K forks. 6,232 commits. Apache-2.0 license. One honest note: the README says it's not yet production-ready and still being actively developed. But it already does more than NotebookLM does, and the gap is widening every release. This is what NotebookLM should have been from the start. Repo in the first comment.

  I agree but just banning the google search engine is a useless move. the main issue is that you need gmail for everything. no one is banning gmail, because no one can.

  Phillip Rivers (@thePhilRivers) reported 36 minutes ago

  38,000 contacts. Zero sends in 5 years. Then one day they pulled the trigger. Emailed all 38,000 without any slow ramp up, nuking their sender reputation in the process. When your daily send volume goes from a few hundred emails to suddenly blasting 38,000 addresses. In the eyes of the inbox providers (ie. Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook ), you look like a crooked spammer. So that’s exactly where your emails go. Open rates drop to <10% and sales from email dries up with it. If you're holding onto a list and plan on sending to them when there’s less fires to put out in your business/life, remember… It takes seconds to **** your domain and months to recover. If we’d gotten to this client before this happened. We would have: > cleaned the list > ramped up the sends slowly > reintroduced the client to the list Of course there is nuance to this. But you can make bank from a dormant list. As long as you pull the right levers in the right order.

  Google uses 2FA but to set it up you need to verify with another device but sometimes with Gmail app and sometimes with Authenticator and sometimes with Passkey but sometimes it errors and you need to log in again.

  @neilcybart Yep, using Apple Mail, have three email accounts on there including Gmail. Downloaded the beta last Monday, got Siri AI after a couple of days. Still indexing but it doesn’t seem to be affecting the performance of the battery or slowing performance of the phone so it’s not an issue for me.

  @RobInArizona @stetsondoggett Greetings from the west valley 👋🏻 Any idea how I can overcome this baffling state of affairs with Google Fi, Rob / Stetson ? On Monday of this week, I signed up for Google Fi, drawn in by their current 50% discount offer. I even created a brand-new Gmail account solely for this purpose. Thankfully, I decided to test the service first rather than port my long-standing number. The eSIM downloaded and activated without issue, and initially everything worked perfectly—data, calls, and texts. Then yesterday morning, Wednesday, out of nowhere, I received an email saying my account had been suspended due to “suspicious activity.” This makes no sense whatsoever: the Gmail account was brand new, used only for Fi, contained only Fi-related emails, and I hadn’t even sent a single message from it. I submitted an appeal at 09:20 AM using an alternative email address (since the new Gmail was, of course, locked). At 10:31 PM, I was told the appeal had been successful and access restored, with instructions to log back in immediately. Except I couldn’t. When I tried, I was blocked from receiving a security code because there had supposedly been “too many attempts.” At that point, I called Google Fi support. After a short wait, I was told that neither my email address nor my Google Fi phone number existed in their system. Which is remarkable, because I was literally calling them using the Google Fi eSIM at that very moment—data and texts still working perfectly too. This understandably confused the support agent, whose only advice was to “wait 24 hours and see what happens.” I was also promised a case ID by email, which, unsurprisingly, has yet to arrive. At this point, I have zero confidence in Google Fi. I want to cancel the service, but in a fittingly absurd twist, I currently can’t even access the account to do so, as at 6.50 PM MST today, Thursday.

  I just got an email reply that reminded me why I actually do this. It was from a girl named Roos. She replied to one of my automated funnels for Beter Turnen. The email I sent was a standard sequence. Talking about lesson prep, saving time, and offering a trial for my platform. Real "founder marketing" stuff. Her reply: "Jo, I want you to know that I'm really sorry but I can't gymnastics anymore. My knee has a very bad injury so unfortunately I have to delete your gmail too otherwise I get too much storage sorry 😔" It hit me. We talk about funnels, conversion rates, and "leads" all day. We look at dashboards and see numbers moving up or down. But on the other side of that automation is a person who feels like they owe you an apology because they can't use your product anymore. Roos didn't just unsubscribe. She felt a connection enough to explain why she was leaving. She was worried about her storage space, but more worried about letting me know why she couldn't follow the lessons. Automation usually feels cold. But if you write like a human, people respond like humans. Even when they’re leaving. That’s the goal. Building something that people actually care about losing.

  Ike Hirsch (@ikenoelhirsch) reported 55 minutes ago

  Most cold emails fail because people let AI write them. Here's why that's backwards. ChatGPT, Claude, and every other model trained on internet data. They scraped Google's top 100 results for "cold email copywriting." Those results weren't written by people who close deals. They were written by SEO copywriters who know how to rank, not convert. So when you ask AI to write your cold email, you're asking a model trained on bad data to do your job. AI is a researcher, not a writer. Use it to pull context. Use it to normalize data. Don't use it to write your pitch. Here's the framework that actually converts: Your prospect reads your email and asks three questions in this order. 1. Is this person going to screw me? Trust signals happen outside the email. Your domain matters. Gmail addresses don't convert. Yahoo addresses definitely don't convert. Your website needs to look like it was built this decade. Your LinkedIn profile needs to exist. If those aren't in place, your copy can't save you. 2. Is this offer for me or for everyone? Segment your lists. If you offer Google Ads to plumbers and cold email to SaaS companies, those are two campaigns with two different scripts. Specificity converts. "I help everyone" converts nobody. Personalization goes here. Name their exact pain. Reference their product by model number if you can. Make it impossible for them to think this email went to 10,000 other people. 3. Do I believe this can help me make money? Your offer matters more than your copy. A great offer with average copy will outperform average offer with great copy every time. If your pitch is "pay me $10,000 upfront and maybe you'll see results in 3 months," no amount of personalization will fix that. Reframe it. Remove risk. Make the first step smaller. Then write the email long enough to answer every objection before they ask it. Short emails get more replies. Long emails get better replies. The goal isn't response rate. The goal is "how do I get started?" replies, not "send me your pricing" replies. Every email between the cold pitch and the booked call is another chance for them to go cold. Answer their objections up front so the only logical next step is a meeting. AI fits in at the research layer. Use it to scrape their website and write one hyper-specific sentence about what they do. Use it to pull product names or case studies. Use it to normalize messy data into clean fields you can inject into your email. But the structure, the offer, the psychology, that's on you. Cold email converts when you stop asking AI to do your thinking and start using it to handle the tedious **** that makes personalization scalable. What's the weakest part of your cold email right now?
