I opened X Analytics and closed X Analytics.
Still had no idea if I was growing.
So I created a GrokBot to do the math and reports for me daily... net follows, impressions, average reach per post, engagement rate, and a projected date for crossing the rewards threshold.
Mine says I crossover to $ on Nov2 ....we shall see.
I published the X Growth bot here:

Apparently, giving someone credit for their content is now considered THEFT. π
At least that's what I was told last week when someone got upset with me for resharing one of their videos.
Their username was literally attached to it.
Well, π just introduced Photo Resharing, which makes that whole situation even funnier.
Here's how it works:
πΈ Find a photo you like, long-press it, and select "Post photo."
βοΈ Add your own commentary and share it.
π π automatically includes attribution linking back to the original creator.
You're not downloading someone's work, stripping their name off it, or passing it off as your own.
You're sharing something interesting while making sure the original creator gets credit.
There's even potential monetization through Original Content Rewards for eligible creators.
And that's the point.
There's a BIG difference between stealing someone's content and sharing it with proper attribution. π
Caffeine just rocks βοΈ
Michael Pollan reveals how the introduction of caffeine completely changed human history and consciousness.
"Before caffeine, it was a very different world and a very different consciousness. People were drunk a lot of the time, buzzed almost all of the time because it was safer than water"
"Water was really how you got diseases. If you fermented things, even low alcohol, it killed a lot of the microbes. So people, even kids, drank hard cider for breakfast"
"Tea, chocolate, and coffee all arrive in the same decade in England, and things start to change... no one ate or drank boiling water or hot beverages before"
"Boiling it made it much safer. This gave this incredible public health boost to these places, and then you have the drug that fosters a kind of more linear, rational, focused way of thinking"
"People in the 1600s started writing about it saying, 'Wow, we have this new civil and sober drink that we can use.' And that, I think, makes possible things like the Industrial Revolution"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The clip repeats the myth that pre-caffeine people were mostly drunk because water was unsafe. Historians and medieval sources show water was commonly drunk from wells/springs while weak ale provided nutrition/calories, not a substitute for bad water.

Microsoft in nutshell:
Windows Copilot was so terrible it might very well have seeded the AI opposition we now see among normies. Useless functionality, hyped to the moon, and a dumb key on every keyboard that did nothing worthwhile. youtube.com/watch?v=erRVsllMβ¦
My 2013 MacBook is now my most used computer.
Thanks to Omarchy.
Hi Sabine, now youβre making me curious about your posts as well. Instant follow (canβt help it).

Thank you for being so polite and taking the time out of your day to give me such an elaborated answer. Greatly appreciated!
I think I get the difference quite a bit better now. π€ β at Cologne, Germany
