    I've wanted to learn Music Theory for about a decade (only learned guitar tabs as a teen and to read sheet music as an adult). Love what you made and just got the premium course.

    Some guests who got theirs removed complained on twitter, so this seems unlikely.

    The part about the algorithm might be referring to when you first join TikTok. THEN it shows you the most popular videos at the moment, adjusting quickly to a more personalized fee…

    Ben & Jerry's spent less than $5k on Facebook and Instagram ads last month. They'll get more publicity value from joining the boycott vs. paying to run ads for a month or two.

    Rdio used to be my favorite app for music discovery before it got acquired/shut down.

    I was a heavy Tumblr user until I discovered Reddit around then, which made it easier to find the same type of content with more consistency.

    Not sure why your comment is getting downvoted. It's absolutely true. It was obviously said as a joke.

    Yep, the videos that autoplay on kids content can be super creepy, borderline fetish/brainwashing content. The channel H3H3 summarized a few of the videos (Spiderman and Elsa come …

    Really hoping one of these wave pools makes its way to the midwest.

    You likely mean ads for TikTok which Musically merged into after being acquired.

    As someone who has made a lot of humorous memes professionally for brands, I agree that these aren't memes but are cute, funny pictures.

    I don't understand the hate for Elon (though the response to Unsworth was disproportionate). His offer to help seemed to stem mainly from a curiosity in solving the problem and hav…

    One difference is that YouTube vloggers are kinda the new celebrity. A lot of kids would rather be vloggers than Hollywood celebrities.

    You have to know things about weather and reading maps that you'll never use when flying a drone, bu it only takes a weekend of studying to pass the drone pilot test.

    Flying a drone is much easier than most people think (at least drones from DJI or even the GoPro Karma). To not become a commodity, you have to provide something on top of just fly…

    Probably because comments usually make it obvious if someone is using an automated bot to grow their Instagram account, which he definitely is.

    As a marketer, videographer, and someone with a sweet tooth, I agree that it's a bad ad.

    As a marketer, videographer, and someone with a sweet tooth, it's not a great ad. Get to the point. Show the actual product. Tease me with things I can expect to receive. Maybe sho…

    That seems very excessive, though regulation so far has been positive. Not that this is you, but fear of "voyeurism" is often said by people who aren't familiar with drones. I've o…
