By "here" I think you mean SA. Reddit is big in the U.S.

I think the author intended the title to be,

"Google Ads is dead, Where do I promote my business now?"

When I hear "Google" I assume search, oof (sigh of relief).

They mention running ads on tiktok or instagram but no mention of youtube ads...

Also, In my own experience for my business ( also entertainment) I have found reddit ads to be useful.

So my next steps would be,

  Reddit Ads
  Youtube Ads
  Instagram Ads
  Increase AI Visiblity

[Edit: Added Instagram Ads, from a different comment]

New comment by senthil_rajasek in "How geometry is fundamental for chess"

senthil_rajasek — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 22:10:48 +0000

The title is "How geometry is fundamental for chess." but 60% of this article is about how animals don't have a sense for numbers or bad at geometry.

Only a couple brief mentions about how chess piece moves are lines and transforms of lines. Other than that the author never establishes the title.

I was actually looking for some insight about chess and did not get any.

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”

-Confucius [1]

For certain concepts such as Linear Algebra, for instance books allow me to "do" and understand. Which is why I read more than I watch videos.

No, but a fox not eating other animals does not remind you of Zootopia?

In case, like me, you didn't know who Bret Victor is,

"...Victor worked as a human interface inventor at Apple Inc. from 2007 until 2011." [1]

"coup d'œil" reminded me of this book, Napoleon's Glance: The Secret of Strategy by William R Duggan

It discusses ideas similar to the ideas in the link you posted.

I want my produce wrapped in this plastic not the forever plastic. Maybe the bio-degradable plastic has it's use cases for other special purpose packaging with a very short self life.
