Half the planet opens a Meta app every single day, but The New York Times just ran a piece arguing it's the beginning of the end. Jay Schwedelson is not buying that one, and he's got fresh data on the fourteen-day window that quietly decides whether a new subscriber ever opens another email from you again. That, plus what an obvious AI fail from the Indiana Fever says about the rush to use AI for everything.

Best Moments:

(00:43) The OpenAI ad manager just killed its minimum spend, and early cost per click is landing at three to five dollars

(01:40) Why The New York Times's calling Meta dead doesn't hold up when half the planet uses one of its apps daily

(03:09) The brutal fourteen-day window where engagement likelihood drops sixty-one percent if a new subscriber never opens or clicks

(04:49) The Indiana Fever turned Caitlin Clark into an AI image, and the hands gave the whole thing away

(05:30) Delta is pulling free snacks on flights under 350 miles, and the hot take might surprise you

(06:56) Apple agreed to pay 250 million over false advertising claims tied to Siri and Apple Intelligence
