Why do you think tumblr will die in only a few years?

Answer with jargon: a strong correlation between recent economic shifts and chaotic choices by major tech companies is most easily explained if the 'traditional' social media platforms of 2005-2020 are mostly a zero-interest rate phenomenon.

Longer answer, with less jargon: Even though Musk's takeover is making all the headlines recently, the last year has in fact seen major shakeups at many social media platforms, so Twitter is actually part of a trend. Almost inevitably, these are cases of social media companies trying to find a way to squeeze more money out of their userbase (Reddit), cut costs dramatically (Twitter), or both. This marks a sudden departure from a much more relaxed attitude towards revenue in the Pictures Of Cats industry, where the focus was historically more on expanding the userbase to a global scale and then counting on world domination to sort of <????> and then the company would become profitable eventually.

We joke, correctly, that Tumblr has never been profitable. But the entire structure of ad-supported content curation between human users is deeply suspect as a business model; IIRC Twitter was never profitable either, and Facebook has been juicing its numbers in very shenanigany ways. Discord was actually making money on net last I checked, at least a bit, so they're not all completely in the hole. But even if you take the accounting figures at face value, none of these companies has anything like the amount of money that their cultural prominence would suggest. Instead, they're heavily fueled by investment dollars, money given by super-rich people and institutions in the expectation that fueling the growth of the company now will pay off with interest later.

So what changed?

I'm not an expert here, but I'll do my best to muddle through. The American Federal Reserve has one mandate that dominates all others (sometimes called the 'dual mandate'), and one primary tool that it uses to enforce that mandate. The goal is to maintain low (but nonzero) rates of inflation and unemployment, which in their models are deeply interlinked phenomena. The tool is 'rate hikes', or more specifically, tweaking the mandatory rate of interest that banks charge one another when making loans.

As a particular consequence of this, hiking the rate also means that bonds start paying out much better. When the rate hike goes through, that affects people who let the government borrow their personal cash- that is, people who buy bonds- as well as institutions like banks that lend to one another. A rate hike means that you, personally, can make a little extra money by letting the government borrow it for a while. The federal government of the US is a rock-solid low-risk choice for this kind of moneymaking scheme, so the federal interest rate sort of defines the 'number to beat'; to attract investors, a company has to give those investors money at a better percentage than whatever the feds are offering. Particularly since a company is a lot more likely to go out of business than the state!

To wrap this back around to the Pictures Of Cats industry: the higher the rate hike, the better your company needs to be doing (or the less risky it needs to be as an option) to attract big investment dollars. Very high rates make it very hard to convince people to invest in business activity rather than the government itself, and very low rates put moonshots and big dreams on the table, investment-wise, in a way that wouldn't otherwise be possible. Social media companies were one of these big dreams.

In the great financial crisis of 2008, the Fed took the dramatic step of reducing their rate to zero, trying to juice the economy back to life. And ever since then, they've kept it there. This has produced an unprecedented amount of funding for very crazy stuff; it's part of what has allowed so many weird new tech companies (Uber, streaming services, etc.) to get so much money, so quickly, and use that to grow to massive size without a clear model of how they're ever going to make money. This state of affairs kept going for quite a while, with no clear stopping point; that zero-interest environment has been one of the shadowy forces in the background that shaped fundamental contours and limits in how our Very Online World has grown and developed. Until COVID.

Or rather, the bounce back from COVID: we suddenly saw a massive spike in inflation and an incredibly strong labor market, as employees quit in record numbers, negotiated higher salaries, and found better work, and at the same time supply chain issues and other economy stuff caused prices to climb dramatically. Recall the Fed's 'dual mandate', to control the employment rate and inflation. This was, basically, kicking them right in the jooblies. They responded in kind, finally finally raising their rates for the first time in 15 years. For some of the people reading this, it'll be the first significant shift in their entire adult lives.

The goal, as I understand it, is to fight inflation by reducing the amount of outside investment into private companies, forcing them to hire fewer people and pay smaller salaries, ultimately drawing money out of the working economy and driving prices back down by lowering demand for everything. You get paid less, so you eat out less, and buy at cheaper restaurants when you do, so restaurants have to compete harder by lowering their prices; seems pretty dodgy to me as a theory, but it's the theory. And the first part will almost certainly work- companies are going to see less investment.

For social media companies that are still paying most of their salaries with investor dollars instead of revenues, this is especially catastrophic. Without outside investment, they're just a massive pile of expenses waiting to happen, huge yearly costs in developer salaries and server fees. This is why, all of a sudden, every social media company is suddenly making bonkers decisions. They're noticing that nobody wants to give them any more money! So they're trying to figure out how to live a lot more cheaply, to actually somehow for reals turn their giant userbases in to some kind of actual revenue stream, or both.

Tumblr is kind of the ur-example of this kind of thing, supporting a very large userbase with no coherent plan whatsoever to start paying its staff with our dollars instead of investors' dollars. When interest rates were low and Scrooge McDuck had nowhere else to hide his pile of gold coins, a crazy kid with a dream was the best alternative available to him. But now, unless something changes, he's going to notice he can just buy bonds instead, and that crazy kid can go take a hike.

That's why I think Tumblr is living on borrowed time, though I don't know how much. Like all cartoons, the economy doesn't really fall off a cliff until somebody looks down and notices they've been standing on thin air this whole time. But they always fall eventually; that's the gag.

Club Types

Custom Club: Push specific activities (or no activity at all) and watch your active and inactive club members congregate and do said activities. Push bowling, swimming, rumba, nectar drinking, collecting, studying, music lessons, among many other things. 

Subscription-Only Club: While members won’t meet up, force them to pay a subscription fee to the club owner for your own purposes. Consider: food subscription service, council-tax payments, school fees.

Book Club: Choose a book for the book club. Your sims will sit together, have discussions, and read said book.

𝐰𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 : 𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 & 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝

i realized i've talked about this wip on here before, but i haven't actually made any sort of intro to it before now? so that's what this is! the plot is extremely bare bones right now so there's not a lot of detail to get into there but i still wanted to share because i've been thinking a lot about this story recently, so here it is!

𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 ⋆｡°✩

genres: weird western, supernatural, romance

target length: novel

setting: fantasy frontier called tallakeen, a place widely known as the land "where the dead don't stay that way"

rating + content warnings: like most of my other works, "adriana & the undead" is intended for mature/adult audiences. content warnings include graphic violence, gore, cannibalism, zombie-related horror, death, parricide, references to mariticide, sexual content, language, hallucinations, and likely others that i'm either not remembering or will think of in the future.

summary: after achieving immortality in order to escape the results of the famous bite of the tallakeeno undead, ranch hand adriana montero is left a dead woman walking, and what seems at first to be her savior quickly becomes her condemnation. now stuck in the centuries-long cycle of eternal life, the only interest in her stagnant existence is her rivalry with death himself—or, the marshal, as she calls him. that is, until a charming, yet somehow repulsive stranger approaches her at the saloon with a perplexing proposition, one that sets her on a quest for the key to mortality with death at her side.

𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 ⋆｡°✩

adriana montero — the immortal

⋆ main character ⋆ she/her ⋆ former ranch hand, now a loan ranger who roams tallakeen ⋆ very reckless, does dangerous things for the sake of it because there will never be any real consequences for her ⋆ sees and experiences things that aren't real from time to time as a result of the wound that should have killed her, can come off as detached from reality at times

the marshal — death

⋆ love interest to adriana ⋆ he/him ⋆ supernatural entity with the task of taking dead souls to the afterlife ⋆ cannot actually enter the afterlife, meaning he is perpetually stuck between the world of the living and the world of the dead ⋆ kind and gentle by nature, but he and adriana antagonize each other so intensely that he can seem downright cruel and malicious at times

vince cooley — the villain

⋆ main antagonist ⋆ he/him ⋆ the only other immortal adriana has ever encountered ⋆ quoted in my notes as being a "hot, sexy scumbag" ⋆ has a very attractive and charming persona, but is really just a cruel, entirely self-serving person beneath his sugarcoated and suave facade

lucy cannon — the outlaw

⋆ secondary antagonist ⋆ she/her ⋆ outlaw and bandit with a proficiency with firearms ⋆ allies and has a troublesome and perplexing temporary relationship with vince—she reminds him of someone from his past, and they are both using each other as means to an end, just with a little more than they bargained for on the side

an abbreviated version of this wip's playlist can also be found here!

there's the crash course, hope yall like the sound of it :)

Nagi initial SSR Story

A Taste of Happiness (Part 1)

Please note that this story has some spoilers on Nagi's background (about his luck) that's related to the L4mps main story!

I've used Momiji as MC's name, Chief is their title.

Any notes with a * are at the end of the post.

Location - Flower Laundry

Momiji: It's a good thing we had our meeting near 'Flower Laundry'. This coffee stain should come off easily.

Momiji: I should check on Yachiyo-kun tomorrow, he apologized so many times he almost made a dent in the ground grovelling.

Momiji: Good morning Nagi-ku-

Nagi: Welcome...

Momiji: Huh!?

Momiji: Wha- you're clearly not ok, how did this happen!?

Nagi: I was just working as usual.

Nagi: But earlier, one of the customers I made a flower arrangement for gave me some sweets as thanks, so I was about to take a break, but all of a sudden a hamster was running towards me.... ah, it's not just any hamster, it's probably Machiko, the one that the kindergarten nearby takes care of.

Nagi: Anyways, I tried my best to get out of Machiko's way, but then I noticed the trampoline that Akuta's group had left here...

Nagi: I ended up landing on it and bounced back all the way up through the ceiling for a homerun.

Momiji: I think I got the gist... I'll get you down now!

Nagi: Phew... you saved me, I owe you my life.

Sonia: You also saved our ceiling! Thank you very mush~

Momiji: Don't mention it, I got the coffee stain off cleanly thanks to you.

Nagi: I'm glad if I was able to help you in any way.

Nagi: I'm sorry that I can't keep you company any longer though, Chief.

Nagi: The deliveries and other work I was supposed to get done got delayed, so I should head out soon...

Momiji: If you don't mind, I could help you out? I drove the company van here.

Momiji: I'm all done with my work today, it should be ok as long as I just shoot Kafka a message.

Nagi: Are you sure?

Nagi: Ah, but there's been a warning for a weather bomb since morning. You might get dragged into a lot of trouble because of my unlucky predisposition*

Momiji: Haha, that's not a problem at all! In fact, it'll probably give me a lot of practice for future troubleshooting. Bring it on!

Nagi: ...Thank you. Then, I'll take you up on your kind offer.

Nagi: Can I ask you to help with the deliveries first-

A scary person: Hey you!! Pay back your debt already!!

Nagi: I'm terribly sorry, I'll pay back the interest first, how much is it?

Momiji: Wait! Don't take out your wallet!!

----------------------

Momiji: ...The delivery ended safely. But Nagi-kun's trouble encounter rate really is impressive.

Momiji: First it was the loan shark who came to collect a debt at the wrong place-

Momoji: Everything's loaded. Where do we have to take them?

Nagi: The shopping mall is up first.

Nagi: There's several new stores opening soon, so they requested the deliveries. We can split up the load once we get there.

------------------

Construction worker: Sorry, there's construction underway here, please take a detour.

Momiji: We literally just passed through here earlier though!?

-----------------

Momiji: Then we'd been forced to take a detour because of sudden construction work, and after that...

Momiji: A random elementary school student challenged us to a race, pizza crusts came flying at us out of nowhere, I barely had time to catch my breath with everything going on.

Momiji: It must be really difficult if he has to go through this every time a weather bomb happens....

Nagi: ..............

Nagi: .....Chief, we should go stock up on flowers next.

Nagi: The weather app shows that the atmospheric pressure has stabilized now, so nothing bad should happen like before, it should be smooth sailing from here. Let's go on my bike.

Nagi: Here's a helmet, wear it tight.

Sonia: Nagi-shan, Chief-shan, pleash be careful.

Sonia: I've packed the usual tools in your bag, pleash take it with you!

Nagi: Thank you, Sonia... We'll be back.

*Nagi has a predisposition that makes him attract misfortune whenever he's feels happy.

Nagi uses the weather app to track sudden changes in atmospheric pressure/weather bombs because that's his way of knowing he's going through a "luck rebound"

Newspaper Helsingin Sanomat has created a calculator to help readers determine if it is more cost effective for them to rent or buy a home in the current market.

HS noted the shifting attitudes towards home ownership in Finland, with renting becoming a viable alternative for many.

"In the 1990s, young couples were automatically asked when they planned to buy a home, now they are asked if they are going to buy one. It is no longer taken for granted," said Anne Viita, director of Finnish Tenants, an advocacy group for renters.

Viita told HS that uncertainties around job security as well as a more mobile lifestyle have made renting attractive, offering an exit option without the obligations of ownership, such as repair or renovation costs.

Rising costs in home ownership, including mortgage rates, energy and maintenance fees, have also dampened enthusiasm for buying.

Juho Kostiainen, an economist at Nordea, said that while mortgage costs can surpass rent, ownership remains appealing because loan repayments contribute to personal equity.

Economist Veera Holappa of the Pellervo Economic Research (PTT) meanwhile noted to HS that in cities like Helsinki and Tampere, owning was twice as expensive as renting in 2023. However, a recent decrease in interest rates has somewhat balanced the equation.

Holappa added that high rental supply is keeping rent increases modest in the Helsinki area.

For first-time buyers, falling property prices present an opportunity, though current owners may find it challenging to sell at past values.

Immigration has also contributed to the rental market's growth, with newcomers typically renting during their first years in Finland, according to Kostiainen.

Far-right's building burns

Tabloid Ilta-Sanomat reports that a fire broke out early on Monday morning at a building known as a hub for Finland's far-right groups in the Hiiltomo industrial area of Hyvinkää.

The blaze, which affected a single-story structure of approximately 400 square metres known as Otsola, required a response from 14 firefighting units.

Although the building was not completely destroyed, it sustained extensive damage. Authorities did not immediately comment on the suspected cause of the fire.

Otsola is unique in Finland as a space openly identified with far-right groups, the most prominent being the openly fascist Blue-Black Movement.

Members have referred to the building as a cultural centre, hosting various gatherings and events, including concerts.

Finnish forestry exports and Trump

Rural-focused newspaper Maaseudun Tulevaisuus writes that Donald Trump's re-election raises questions for Finland's forestry industry, particularly regarding his proposals to boost American manufacturing and impose broad import tariffs.

Trump's campaign included a general 10 percent tariff on imports, with a specific 60 percent levy targeting Chinese goods.

Finland's major forestry players — UPM, Stora Enso, and Metsä Group's Metsä Board — remain cautious, with all three declining to speculate on potential impacts.

Timo Tolonen of the lobby group Finnish Forest Industries emphasised that any significant change will happen over time, with Trump's term starting in January and policy shifts possibly taking even longer.

"It's too early to judge at this stage. As an industry, we support free trade and measures that do not lead to protectionism, ensuring a level playing field for industry," Tolonen told MT.

Currently, Finland exports forestry products worth one billion euros annually to the US, accounting for over eight percent of the country's total forestry exports.

For Metsä Board, which exports primarily from Finland and Sweden without local US production, new tariffs could pose challenges.

UPM, on the other hand, operates production sites in the US, potentially giving it an advantage if Trump's policies favour domestic manufacturers.

Increased tariffs may reduce demand for Finnish imports, forcing companies to seek new markets and offer discounts, especially in competitive sectors like cardboard.

Meanwhile, the US dollar's value has bolstered in the wake of Trump's victory. This could help offset some impacts by making Finnish exports cheaper for American buyers, though how long this exchange rate will hold remains uncertain.

The Slowdown in US Job Growth and Rising Bankruptcies: Implications and Outlook

Recent reports indicate a sharp slowdown in US job growth, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.3%. This trend, coupled with a record high in bankruptcies, signals deeper economic challenges. As the Federal Reserve considers cutting interest rates in September, if not sooner, it's crucial to understand the implications for the economy and personal finance.

The slowdown in job growth reflects a cautious approach by businesses in response to economic uncertainties. This trend, combined with a rising unemployment rate, signals potential difficulties ahead for many individuals seeking employment. Businesses are hesitant to expand their workforce amidst uncertain economic conditions, and technological advances reduce the need for human labor in certain sectors. Increased global competition also leads to cost-cutting measures, including hiring freezes or layoffs.

Bankruptcies have surged to a record high, driven by factors such as persistent inflation, high interest rates, and ongoing supply chain disruptions. Rising costs of goods and services reduce profit margins for businesses and disposable income for consumers. Higher borrowing costs make it more difficult for businesses to finance operations and growth, leading to financial distress. Disruptions in the supply chain can lead to shortages and increased costs, further straining business finances.

In response to these economic challenges, the Federal Reserve is likely to cut interest rates in September to stimulate economic activity. Lowering interest rates can make borrowing cheaper, potentially boosting investment and spending. The anticipated rate cut aims to encourage borrowing by making loans more affordable for businesses and consumers, boosting economic growth by increasing spending and investment, and managing inflation by stimulating economic activity and preventing deflationary pressures.

Amidst these economic uncertainties, Bitcoin presents itself as a hedge against traditional market volatility. Its decentralized nature and limited supply make it an attractive option for preserving value. Bitcoin operates independently of central banks and government policies, providing a hedge against political and economic instability. With a capped supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is immune to inflationary pressures caused by excessive money printing. Bitcoin's growing acceptance as a digital store of value makes it a viable alternative to traditional assets like gold.

When the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, it often acts as a catalyst for Bitcoin's price. Historically, lower interest rates have led to increased liquidity in the financial system, which can drive investment into alternative assets like Bitcoin. Lower interest rates increase the money supply, providing more capital for investment in assets like Bitcoin. With traditional savings and bonds offering lower returns, investors seek higher returns in alternative assets, including cryptocurrencies. As interest rates drop and the money supply increases, concerns about inflation drive investors to assets like Bitcoin that are perceived as inflation-resistant.

For individuals, it is crucial to diversify investments, enhance skills, and stay informed about market trends. Embracing digital currencies like Bitcoin can provide a safeguard against economic downturns and currency devaluation. Spread investments across various asset classes, including stocks, bonds, real estate, and cryptocurrencies, to mitigate risk. Continuously update skills and knowledge to remain competitive in the job market and adapt to changing economic conditions. Regularly monitor economic indicators, market trends, and policy changes to make informed financial decisions.

Additionally, adopting a strategy of Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) into Bitcoin and buying the dips can be highly beneficial. DCA involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the asset's price. This strategy reduces the impact of market volatility and can lead to a lower average cost per Bitcoin over time. Buying the dips, or purchasing Bitcoin when its price drops, can also enhance returns by taking advantage of temporary price declines.

The combination of slowing job growth, rising bankruptcies, and potential interest rate cuts underscores the need for proactive financial planning. By understanding these trends and exploring alternative investment options like Bitcoin, individuals can better prepare for the economic uncertainties ahead. Embracing strategies like DCA and buying the dips can further enhance financial resilience and long-term growth prospects.

Interactive calculators offer a unique opportunity to deliver customized content based on user inputs. These tools provide highly relevant and personalized information by tailoring the results and recommendations to the individual’s specific situation.

This customization enhances the user experience by addressing their unique needs and concerns directly. As a result, users are more likely to trust the brand and find value in its offerings, leading to increased satisfaction and loyalty.

Custom content also helps build stronger relationships with users, as they feel understood and valued.

Applying Logic to Interactive Calculators

Okay. Now that you know why you should test interactive calculators in your content strategy let’s see how to start using them.

Before getting your hands on any interactive platform (by the way, I highly recommend this one), there are a few steps you need to consider.

Identify Pain Points

The first step is to understand the specific challenges and concerns of the target audience. For instance, if the persona is a first-time homebuyer, common pain points include understanding mortgage affordability, interest rates, and loan terms.

Example pain points:

Confusion about how much they can afford to borrow.

Uncertainty about the impact of different interest rates on monthly payments.

What Questions Help Address the Pain Points

Crafting questions that directly address these pain points is a key strategy. These questions should provide clear, actionable insights and be simple, relevant, and designed to guide users through their concerns.

Example Questions:

“What is your monthly income?” (Helps determine affordability)

“How much are you planning to put down as a down payment?” (Impacts loan amount and terms)

What is the Incentive Offered to Users

Offering incentives can be highly effective in encouraging users to complete the calculator. These incentives should be valuable and relevant to the user’s needs.

Example Incentives:

Personalized financial reports or summaries based on their inputs.

Immediate results that provide clarity on their financial standing or potential savings.

4 factors that could affect financing the start-up

Future Financing: Small Business Loan

For future funding, we’re thinking about getting a small business loan. This means borrowing money from a bank or other lender that we’ll pay back over time. Here’s why we think this is a good idea and how it fits with some important points from a BDC article about financing start-ups.

1. Good Credit Score:

To get a loan, we need a good credit score, which shows that we’re responsible with money. We’ll make sure to:

Pay all our personal bills on time.

Open a business credit card and use it wisely, paying off the balance every month.

2. Strong Business Plan:

Banks want to see that we have a solid plan for our business. Our plan includes:

Research showing people are spending more on high-quality pet products.

Financial estimates showing how we’ll make money and manage expenses.

Marketing ideas like using social media and attending local pet events to attract customers.

3. Collateral and Personal Investment:

Banks often ask for something valuable (collateral) to back up the loan. We might use personal savings or valuable items we own. Also, putting our own money into the business shows we’re serious and committed.

4. Managing Cash Flow:

We need to show we can handle our money well. This means:

Keeping detailed records of what we earn and spend.

Saving some money to cover unexpected costs.

Regularly checking our finances to make sure we’re on track.

Other Things to Think About

Interest Rates and Terms:

We’ll look for loans with low interest rates and repayment terms that fit our business plan.

Understand how often we need to make payments and make sure it works with our cash flow.

Lender Reputation and Support:

Choose a lender known for helping small businesses.

Look for lenders who offer extra support like business advice.

Alternative Financing Options:

Besides loans, we’ll also consider crowdfunding, finding angel investors, and applying for grants, especially those aimed at small and minority-owned businesses.

Patrick McKenzie writes about his (positive) experiences with a First Republic personal line of credit and his conclusion is

It has been quite popular for various parties to point the fingers at bank management teams, saying that impressively impecunious operation of the core business of banking is the proximate cause for the crisis. The crisis is caused by the pace of change in interest rates. Everything else is commentary.

Whereas my takeaway from that story is almost the exact opposite.

The positive aspects of the story are all about, like, having underwriting flexible enough to deal with his weird situation. So while it now doubt helped that the credit line has a seven* year fixed (low) rate, that's not really the core (or socially valuable) selling point of the service. But of course it's interest rates that killed First Republic.

McKenzie goes on at some length about their very low default rate for those products**, despite taking on people in weird situations like his. But that's the whole problem: banks were pricing in credit risk but not interest rate risk.

Maybe it wouldn't have mattered. The size of line of credit portfolio is dwarfed by the mortgage portfolio, and that's a business where it's much harder to deal with interest rate risk while remaining competitive.

But the story here still seems to me to be a story of bank management essentially not caring about interest rate risk.

*Really nine years, because there's a two year "draw period" before the payback period even begins.

**Although, as an aside, those rates were for a loan targeted at "young professionals" during the tech boom. Credit risk may have risen in the new era of tech layoffs.
