Ronaldo Cooked Mr.Beast Shocked

In just 90 minutes, he reached 1 million subscribers, then four days later, he reached 43 million subscribers.🔥 But there is a surprising trend beneath all this Ronaldo post a message to his fans on Instagram:- "My YouTube channel is finally here! Subscribe and join me on this new journey." 24 hours later, internet records had been broken. --------------------------------------- But here is what most people missed: This wasn't just about YouTube views. It was about something much bigger. A shift that changed the game for athletes worldwide. --------------------------------------- But first, talk about numbers for a second, 1 million subscribers in a couple of hours. 10 million in 12 hours. 25 million in just over a day. For context: It took MrBeast 14 YEARS to hit 100 million. At this rate, Ronaldo could surpass him in months. ----------------------------------- But here's the kicker: This isn't even Ronaldo's main focus. So why bother? 🤨 Two words: Brand & Value Ronaldo's not just a footballer. He's a business empire. • CR7 brand: $247M revenue in 2023 • Lifetime Nike deal: $1 billion • Social media value: $4.3M per post The YouTube channel? It's just the latest piece of the puzzle. ----------------------------------- But Ronaldo's not alone in this game. Tom Brady, LeBron James, Steph Curry... All making similar moves. Why? Because they've figured out a crucial truth:- Sports careers are fleeting. But attention? ----------------------------------- Think about it: Athletes get millions of eyeballs on them during their careers. But they capture only a fraction of that value. YouTube channels, podcasts, social media... These are how to monetize attention long-term. But there's more to it: It's about control. Athletes are tired of being at the mercy of: • team contracts • Sponsor demands • Media narratives By building their platforms, they control their own stories. And the payoff? Massive.

Indian SDEs will do all DSA and System Design chatter but cannot create any real value

Indian SDEs on LinkedIn & Twitter are some of the worst engineers you will ever find across the real world. Their typical value lies around: - Cracking a FAANG/MAANG or Product company. - Make an announcement on LinkedIn & Twitter and accumulating followers. - Starting YouTube channel, Topmate links, affiliate marketing channels, and more. - Rant DSA, System Design, Interview resources all day long. - Post daily of their office, their colleagues, candid shots, and barely getting any work done. While this is expected out of early career professionals, it pains to see senior SDEs doing the same shit over and over again. Things don't end here — Everyone talks about creating a revolution. And the revolution is teaching DSA. If you are an experienced SDE and still ranting DSA, it just means that you have barely learnt anything that is of worth any value. You are atmost a "Ticket Engineer". You get assigned a Jira ticket, you bust your ass solving it, and that's it. That's your entire value. Its high time that these "Bhaiya", "Didis", "Bhabhis" stop ranting DSA and System Design over and over, and build something of real value. You would barely see any credible open-source projects coming out of India (but hey, we have some many contributors!), barely any Indie dev project, or anything that captures the attention of the world. Literally every popular SDE you might follow or see over your social media is the same. Their entire community game is a farce and designed to capture gullible college students and shill thousands of rupees out of them. You might be featured on Times Square ($40 ka showoff), but no one would remember you for anything that you built. <Rant Over. Peace>

Make money! As much as you possibly can!

If there is one thing you can learn from Ambani’s wedding, it’s the fact that money is the only objective measure of power and influence in this world. - The biggest rivals politically, share the stage and greet each other The biggest rivals in cricket, dance with each other The biggest rivals in cinema, greet each other The biggest rivals within family, help each other The biggest rivals in business, hug each other - You should strive to make as much money as you possible can because money is power. You don't do it for pleasure; you do it because that's how you win. You do it because in this ruthless world, being on top is the only safe place to be. Money is your shield and your weapon, and without it, you're nothing. - You make as much money as possible because, let's face it, money's fun. It's the key to all the cool stuff—power, parties, private jets, you name it. Sure, it's also about proving yourself and not being the screw-up everyone thinks you are, but mainly it's about the thrill. Making money means you're in the game, you're relevant, and you can do whatever the hell you want. - Plus, it gives you the leverage to tell people to screw off and actually get away with it. So, yeah, stack that cash and enjoy the ride. - You make as much money as possible because it’s your ticket to security and status. In this family and in this world, wealth is what keeps you safe and respected. It’s about climbing the ladder and proving you belong at the top, even if you weren’t born into it. With money, you gain leverage, influence, and the ability to protect yourself in a cutthroat environment. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to enjoy the finer things and have a buffer against the chaos that comes with being alive in this world. - You make as much money as possible because it’s about breaking boundaries and redefining what’s possible. It’s not just about the money—it’s about the disruption, the innovation, and staying ahead of the curve. - Continued in comments
