Fleeting random unpopular opinions of the day:
- Email marketing is overhyped and even if it's effective, it probably only works for B2B and/or people from the Gen Y / Baby Boomers generation. Who still actually open up email newsletters from companies, read it entirely, then click the "Shop Now" link? LOL I certainly have never done that in my life. I subscribed to newsletters in exchange for free ebooks / free stuff, and never clicked on any of them. I open 2 - 4 email newsletters a year, and those were all from potential competitors - I wanted to see how they design and market through email lists.
- It boggles my mind why there isn't a new challenger to Instagram. Not Mastodon or Twitter, but a social app that does what Instagram did in the 2014 - 2016 golden era. Perhaps Meta signed anti-competitive laws to prevent other big tech companies from coming up with a true Instagram alternative. There is literally a Need in this hole right now.
