Episode notes
Prioritize Watch Time With One Deep Video
- PlanetScale aims to grow subscribers by publishing longer, high-watchtime videos instead of many short ones.
- They shifted from two short videos weekly to one deeper ~25-minute video to increase total watch minutes.
Unified Inbox Convenience Creates Big Security Targets
- Centralized inbox apps (like Texts.com) offer convenience but concentrate sensitive messages, raising a large attack surface and trust concerns.
- Ian flagged missing company/contact details and minimal privacy signals as reasons to be cautious.
Founder Presence Calmed Some Texts.com Worries
- Aaron checked Texts.com's founder and found Keishan Bagaria publicly present on Twitter and LinkedIn, and a small investor list.
- That reduced but didn't eliminate Ian's trust concerns about operational security and company maturity.
