I'm in the same boat.

Expect to pay between £700 - £1500 (initial consultation, titration fees). Then the ongoing medication costs.

Honestly I am torn on this issue, I don't think we should have a nation filled with amphetamine users, but right now I'm a self funded founder and I can't justify this cost. So I have no choice but to self medicate with medication I have procured myself through alternative means...

The whole thing feels scammy in the UK

You can check the browser user agent is running safari + !standaloneMode and show a popup modal. This is how I handle it in react.

Surprisingly it actually converts to "Installs" incredibly well. Better than some native apps I own. I think user friction is actually quite low - no 'web app > app store > mobile app' flow - just two buttons and its on the home screen, no need to login w/ apple id etc.

I had a look, ctr+F dates.ai and its there. Two minutes later I do the same thing and it's gone. Maybe because I'm the author, who knows.

eh, I think you're reaching. Saying I'm working on being mad about it is as unsubstantiated as me saying that you’re a Vox fanboy who can't handle having your worldviews challenged. Bit pointless isn't it?

If a startup idea is good, it doesn’t really matter if someone mentioned it in a video that got hundreds of thousands of views. Execution is still the key component.

‘You’ve already lost’ implies that every idea must be completely unique in order for you to ‘win’ whatever that means.

“If you’re taking AI or drop shipping startup ideas from online videos with hundreds of thousands of views, you’ve already lost.”

So nobody can find inspiration and learn about new things from YouTube videos? This seems like a fairly obtuse statement. I don’t watch these hustle porn guys on YouTube but I learn a hell of a lot from smaller tech YouTubers who produce educational content.

The author is clearly quite salty. Vox is just as bad if not worse than these guys on YouTube. Their whole schtick is riling people up for page views with no consideration for the wider societal impact.

They already are. This week I uncovered a ChatGPT bot farm operating on reddit.
