greatsaas12··on TikTok is becoming Amazon for Gen Z
I think what you're describing is the law of shitty clickthroughts [1]

Every marketing channel goes through it, and TikTok is at the beginning of the whole process.

greatsaas12··on The Rise of Deepfake Clothing
Interesting observation. Do you think NFTs will rise as a result of this "default perception"?
greatsaas12··on The Rise of Deepfake Clothing
Interesting. I've read about virtual influencers [1] and this seems to be somewhere in the middle. We'll probably reach a point where famous influencers will provide "templates" on top of which companies providing t-shirts/makeup/bags/etc. will put their products on.

greatsaas12··on Facebook will count one person as two on its platform
While I do support this change from a users' perspective, I find it hard to believe Facebook's official reason to "honor users' choices". What's the real motivation behind this Facebook update?
greatsaas12··on Cloudflare announced four major new features that could disrupt industries
Doubt there's an affiliation. The whole article is written from a perspective of how founders can use these features to build their MVPs faster (curious how nobody in the comments mentioned this).
greatsaas12··on Cloudflare announced four major new features that could disrupt industries
I think calling it clickbait is too harsh. The right headline would be: "Cloudflare announces 3 changes which have the potential to disrupt 3 industries in the near/long future". So it's somewhere in the middle between "totally describing what's inside" vs. clickbait-y.

Looks like it was fixed.

Yep, was aware of this, but forgot to mention it. Edited the comment, thanks!

Seems like these announcements were part of Cloudflare's "Birthday Week"[1]

More features that weren't mentioned by OP:

- CF released an email routing feature

- They released their domain name registrar (you could previously only transfer, but now you can also register domain names) using wholesale prices. I'd also classify this as a "disruption" because CF is not taking any profit with this one (but they have a lot to gain in terms of data if you route your domain traffic through them.)

greatsaas12··on Show HN: I made an alternative to Google Alerts that listens to social media
I love the fact the you've spent time focusing on onboarding.

Most SaaS companies onboarding workflow these days is:

- Describe what they're about - Ask for a sign-up before you even have the chance of using/interacting with the product

greatsaas12··on How Satya Nadella turned Microsoft around
This. A lot of founders seem to underestimate the effect of timing. I've read so many many stories where a startup took off when another product got worse/shut down (for example, Feedly really took off when Google Reader shut down, and so on.)
