   Zuck vs Elon: Threads, X, Solar Billionaires and Old Fashioned Marketing | Why I Did It (#7)

   The discussion covered a range of topics including the use of social media for business growth, the influence of social media on younger generations, the mixed reviews of the Barbie movie, AI software for doctors, the reduced output quality of ChatGPT, and the potential uses and target market for virtual reality. Key points and Insights: Facebook ads may not always provide a good return on investment, and businesses should focus on providing value through apps or products. Growing a business on social media requires careful planning and consideration of traditional marketing methods. Different generations have different preferences and behaviors when it comes to purchasing decisions. Virtual reality, such as the PlayStation VR headset and Oculus, offers immersive gaming experiences. The AI software for doctors has potential benefits but raises concerns about legalities and insurance coverage. Traditional marketing methods like flyers, letter drops, and local school calendars can still be effective. ChatGPT's output quality has been reduced, possibly to incentivize users to pay for better results. Social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter are constantly evolving with new features. The younger generation is experiencing a different social media landscape compared to previous generations. Altitude sickness can be treated with Viagra due to its blood vessel dilation properties. The Oculus has various use cases, including gaming, health apps, and watching videos. Influencers are monetizing their platforms through exclusive content and partnerships. The Barbie movie received mixed reviews due to its focus on patriarchy.

Don't miss this intriguing discussion that explores the evolving landscape of technology, automotive industry, and social media. Follow us on social media @whyididitshow for more captivating content. Social Media: Instagram: @whyididitshow - Follow Osama: Twitter: https://twitter.com/osamasaket Instagram: https://instagram.com/osakett - Follow Walid Twitter: https://twitter.com/walidalbermani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwalidalbermani The podcast covers various topics such as the possibility of humans being replaced by AI, Bing's new extension, upcoming cars, Tesla's dropping prices, Volkswagen's ID4, and the motor vehicle subscription model. BMW is considering a subscription model where features in the car are built-in but not accessible unless you pay for a subscription. The discussion also includes the trend of paying for subscriptions to access features like safety cameras or heated seats, which is a terrible direction for the quality of vehicles. The podcast also talks about the trend of paying for verification on platforms like Tinder and Twitter, which devalues the verification. The discussion also covers the changing landscape of social media platforms, the dangers of TikTok's algorithm, and the unethical promotion of products by a dermatologist on TikTok. Finally, the podcast touches on the interest in technology and learning to code, pursuing a career in technology while still practicing medicine, and a weekly podcast discussing why interesting people do interesting things.
