If you send me an “update your email preferences because we want to only send you the emails your interested in” email, I will smash that button. Even if I don’t have any changes to make, I want my support of that email to be recognized. #emailgeeks #emailpeeps #emailmarketing

I saw a post calling the TikTok ban “mass unemployment.”

I feel for folks, but I’m horrified by how social apps trick ppl into building a biz entirely on what are just marketing channels.

We need businesses that can survive w/o social media. If they can’t, we don’t own our businesses.

They do.
