Are captions on X video actually helping retention, or are we just stuck in short-form muscle memory? I find myself scrolling X with sound on more than other platforms. Also appreciate not seeing titles and thumbnails rigged to game CTR.
Original IP is the future. This series is the closest I’ve seen to pulling it off. Huge performance on X vs YT. To improve, I’d gameify the format to make it feel more native. Launching on an existing channel is tough. You’re retraining both the algo and the audience. New show.…
Pieter Levels (@levelsio) and I sat down over a pint to talk about how he’s making $3m a year as a one-person company, what Europe can do to spur economic growth, and his experience as a digital nomad in over 150 cities across 40 countries. Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:37 Pieter’s…

As a doc editor, this still plays like a pod with 10 b-roll shots up top. A few verite beats like walking the space or ordering coffee would add immersion. I like the dirty over-the-shoulder framing, but the guest should always have a clean single. Overall, a step forward.
