Excited about this program. I've been tracking 10,000+ AI companies and publishing data-driven analysis for two years - the companies that win aren't just building great products, they're mastering new media distribution. The US-China tech divide makes this even more critical: founders need to understand how narratives work differently across markets. Would love to bring this cross-border perspective to the fellowship.
If you really knew how to go viral and how to become a legit media force, you'd do it for yourselves instead of promising to do it for others as a sales pich. Maybe you'd try to create the next MySpace or whatever lights your wire with speculative fire.
I mean, your own pitch admits as much since you imply that going viral on the internet is where people make their bank. So... why don't you just make your bank yourselves with the techniques that everyone knows about and you claim are exclusive? I guess it's altruism? Or is it just that your business model is based on false promises, just like all the others who are trying to make money online by promising to reveal the secrets of how to make money online. Got it. Just another Sourobros.
The idea that you can promise virality to anyone else when you're unable to do it for yourselves is defacto specious. No wonder the secret --which is obvious-- is: buy it from others who have already stumbled into it.
Ex: the guys who produced Mr Beast's success were lucky as much as clever. Fact is, no one knows how to do it, really. Unless you actually just buy the upstream platform and program the algo to push content in people's faces, it can't be done. But the problem with that is: what makes things go viral is *authenticity*, so virality can't really be bought for long. If you try, you wind up engendering a backlash that makes the spend worthless.
By definition, chaos cannot be ordered. After all, even book published have been trying to figure out what sells books for decades and they've found they can't. It's luck most of the time. That, or: sell a book by someone famous already. And that works only half the time. The more important question is: how to manufacture the initial fame? Buy it, I guess. But someone has to produce it for you to scoop it up, and if they have it they'd only sell it to your for above market prices. So, sure, if you spend enough you can buy an already famous person and let them hawk your wares. And you'll lose money doing it sooner or later due to the inflation you cause and market forces you can't control or buy.
But even that is a crapshoot since people are allergic to insincerely product pushing. Ergo, spend all the money you want and slather yourself in the rubber goo of techbro marketingspeak just to see if anything sticks. Well, it might for a while, maybe, but it's never worth the client's money because if they already have enough money to hire you then they by definition don't need you. Meanwhile, if *you* don't have money then they have no use for you. Snake eats its tale.
So, best of luck, dudes. But you won't sell me on your shtick because I already won capitalism and I answer to no one. Therein lies my power and it can't be bought. I have the only thing that really does make someone of value in the marketplace of shills-- independence and authenticity. So, sure, you want to control the upstream, but there's something that comes before that-- the rain. And I'm the rainmaker, and you can drown in my flood but you can't tell the weather what to do. And I can live without you, but you can't survive without people like me. So therein lies the paradox. Best of luck to you. See you in the funny pages.
I have applied for the New Media earlier but never received any update. I have been in the media for over 10 years now, running one of the largest blog earlier, as one of the top Google Adsense publisher.
Applied few weeks ago and I would love to participate, listen, and add value.

This is great

This is very cool, hope selection isn't just about the 'numbers' and more qualitative approach too.
