🚨 Meta just sent marketers a warning shot.
For years, the game was simple:
💰 Pay for ads → 👀 Reach your audience.
Now Meta is building something bigger.
With the launch of Facebook Plus, Instagram Plus, WhatsApp Plus, and Meta One, Meta is no longer relying only on advertising revenue.
Why does this matter?
✅ More subscription revenue = less dependence on advertisers
✅ Premium users are often the most valuable customers
✅ Creative quality becomes more important than media spend
The biggest shift?
Attention is becoming harder to buy and more important to earn.
The old formula:
📊 Budget + Targeting = Results
The new formula:
🚀 Creativity + Relevance + AI + Budget = Results
The brands that win tomorrow won't necessarily have the biggest ad budgets.
They'll be the ones creating content people actually want to stop and engage with.
Meta isn't changing advertising. It's changing the value of attention.
What's your take? Are Meta's new subscriptions the future of social platforms or just another recurring cost? 👇

I wrote a great hook for this one..
That's a fib, but here's a truth, you sell more when you fit into your customers' routines.
Need an example? Afters is for finding underground parties in Berlin. There are so many ways people can find parties from Resident Advisor to posters on lampposts.
The easy CTA for a brand like Afters is "Find Underground Parties in Berlin".
Short, clear, to the point,
But most people already search on Resident Advisor, how would that line convince them to change their behaviour and search Afters? Unfortunately being a "cooler" app doesn't motivate many people.
With a clear strategy, I delivered a way in that RA could never hope for.
Afters pulls from sources where line ups are posted last minute or after the event – Telegram groups, fan websites, Soundcloud – and being for people in the scene, they're the kind of folk who go to a party for the vibe and look up DJs after the fact.
So I did the opposite of what you'd expect.
If you want to know who you just danced to, ask Afters.
Instead of competing to be the place to find parties in the future, I found a key moment the target audience has a problem that Afters is uniquely positioned to solve and built the strategy around it. No one can compete, because no one else works like Afters.
Problem -> Strategy -> Branding
Love it!
Product marketing has just become easier
Is AI finally good enough to shoot a product demo on its own, or human touch is still needed?
I generated a 20s product demo with Seedance 2.5 in a single take providing it with one product image reference and an example video transcript (posted in the comments).
Do you disclose...
good
Great!
