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.

Interesting observation. Do you think NFTs will rise as a result of this "default perception"?

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.

Re:Facebook will count one person as two on its platform on Monday October 18, 2021 @12:21PM (#28907224)
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?
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).
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.)

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
