Google now removed my and everyone else's reviews 🤯

If you ever thought you could trust Google Maps ratings, think again

Worst is they show your own review on top but only for you, while they hide it for everyone else

I think this is a great idea

Reviews everywhere on the internet are now fake

Community notes seem to work really well on X to find truth

Could X use that same algorithm for reviews of restaurants, cafes, hotels?

I invite everyone to at least try for a week to make your free app/site paid only and see what happens

Glassdoor reviews are also fake

Trustpilot's too

Booking .com's too

Why even show reviews when we know they mean nothing and are all manipulated?

Crazy nobody talks about this

People who say this never built businesses themselves

They're right that the technical part might not be the hardest in AI because models are trained already for you to use

But the difficulty lies in distribution (getting users), user experience/interface…

Payment problems in Argentina continued...

No food delivery app will accept any of our cards, not Revolut, not Wise, not even Brazilian cards

Weirdly the main delivery app of Argentina seems to only allow other LatAm countries to order (not even Brazil)…

Cash has other problems in Argentina though

US $10-$15 ATM withdrawal fee for US $100-150

That is on top of the bad USD-ARS rate (official rate) you'll get in most ATMs here, which is ~20%…

Uber Argentina (which is a different entity than Uber, with different payment requirements etc.) has responded it's a problem because @Revolut and @Wise ask for 2FA

So you can't use them on Uber in Argentina either

Luckily @cabify_arg DOES accept foreign…

The 100+ Vercel DevRel employees in your replies and DMs when you say a single bad thing about Vercel

POV: you're hanging at the conference after party and the Vercel gang rolls up

Another way to see it

@EMostaque took $200M from VCs

Spent all of it on training AI models

Open sourced them for the good of humanity

Then GTFO

A true Robin Hood 👏

Speechless what's happening in Europe

Every day almost a new rule, a new ban on something, I don't know how this will end well?

I used to be a big EU believer myself

Finally time to become an 🇺🇸 American?

I'd move to Austin, TX but it's too hot 🥵

Good curious question here

Why is it bad the EU is making it illegal to use over €10,000 in cash and non KYC'd hardware wallets too?

Why can't we let the EU just track all the money?

I know the answer (freedom etc) but X probably can explain it better…
